@LewisJonathanE Peace requires right of return, compensation and equal citizenship for Palestinians ethnically cleansed in 1948. Jews will be a minority, so no longer a Jewish state.
An option would be to include other religious symbols on the flag, but my vote would be a secular flag.
@chico_ray Feel free to choke on your anger.
80% of “Gazans” r refugees ethnically cleansed in 1947/48. When they look out of their prison, they see colonies built on their lands eg. Sderot/Najd, nir Oz/main Abu Sitta, Nirim/bani Suheila
Right of return, compensation, equal citizenship.
@neveragainlive1 Conversely, the Palestinians of Nazareth were spared because Ben Dunkleman, a Canadian Jew, refused military orders to “cleanse” the city.
Sounds museum worthy to me.
@neveragainlive1 Plan Dalet. Operations Nashslon, Yiftach, Chametz, maccabi, Ben Ami… n my favorite, Dani.
That’s when my dad and 50-70k Palestinians were ethnically cleansed from Lydd n Ramleh over 3 days on military orders signed by Rabin n given by Ben Gurion 4 the crime of not being Jewish.
@KevinBradKatz@neveragainlive1 Political Zionism wanted a Jewish majority state since Herzl in 1895. He was the first to mention “transfer” as a way to get it.
By May 1948 (newspaper date) the Zionists had ethnically cleansed 300k Palestinians from hundreds of towns n villages.

@rulajebreal@mehdirhasan It’s not just the official EU that are complicit. Most media have played a part, first making October 7 the alpha n omega, now by moving back to that cycle. No headline as Palestinians are ethnically cleansed. Any successful attack on Israel will be the end of the world again.
@EinatWilf 80% of “Gazans” including Hamas are refugees ethnically cleansed in 1947/48. When they look out of their concentration camp they see colonies built on their lands eg. Sderot/Najd, nir Oz/main Abu Sitta, Nirim/bani Suheila

Yes, that's accurate. The core population of the Levant remained continuous for millennia. Ancient locals (including Israelites and other groups) saw many convert to Christianity in the Roman/Byzantine era. Following the 7th-century Arab conquests, Islam spread via gradual conversions among those existing Christian (and some Jewish) communities, paired with Arabization through language and culture shift—no mass replacement occurred. Genetic data shows strong Levantine ancestry continuity in modern Palestinians, similar to Jewish populations. Palestinian national identity coalesced in the 20th century.
@VividProwess Then Rome conquered Judea and slaughtered or expelled Judeans from Jerusalem. Judeans outside Jerusalem remained, converted to Christianity, then Islam came, expelled the Romans, allowed Judeans back, and over the course of 1400 years most converted to Islam… Palestinians.
Asking if Israel has a right to exist is the dumbest question in the world. It already exists! Palestine doesn't exist, you moron anchors! Correct question is - does Palestine have a right to exist? But since US national media works for Israel, they've never asked that question!
@ICJPalestine@britishmuseum Why are you surprised.
The British gave away Palestine courtesy of Herbert Samuel, Sykes, Balfour et al.
They set the stage for ethnic cleansing through paperwork and “laws”.
Time for lawsuits and reparations.
