Sure, and we can go back, and back, until we hit the point, which even you recognise, where Zionists started coming to the region with the intention of ethnically cleansing (non-violently at first) the Palestinian population that had been living there for generations.

This is another point Israel's defenders never address. Muslims and Jews and Christians (mostly Muslims) were living in the Levant, almost entirely in peace, for thousands of years. You can't possibly be unaware that it was Zionism that changed this. That the land grabs starting in ~1881 triggered the unrest between Muslim and Jewish communities.

Yes, please, let's talk about the "Great Replacement" that the "left wing has been crowing about"🙄 Which left-wing representatives, exactly, have been "crowing" about this? Please lay out the "years" of the left trying to win through demographic change. Or are you just using a few morons on Twitter and a few edgy blog posts on Medium as your evidence of what "the left" is thinking. Are you taking the racist terror (boosted by bottom-feeders like Tucker Carlson) that "miscegenation" will inevitably lead to a country that looks more diverse and if it's something that anybody should be worried about?

I've long credited you with intelligence Rex, but if you're seriously trying to compare racist propaganda about legal Haitian immigrants to Zionism's calculated campaign to remove people from their homeland, I might need to revise that.

Yes, I'm more than happy to stop relitigating the past to a degree. But a) it's hard not to notice that the people who have been guilty of the greatest violence in the past always seem to want to be the ones to decide when it's time to move on without actually addressing their wrongs. "Sure, I know I spend years stealing your land and killing your family, I know Im' still doing exactly the same thing today, but it's tome to move on. Let's ignore all that and pretend the only relevant fact in this ~100 year history is what happened on Oct 7th."

And b) support for Zionism, in its entirety, is built on the premise that because some Jews lived in that part of the world 3000 years ago, ALL Jews have an eternal and inviolable right to the land today. A right which, apparently, supersedes the rights of the Muslims and Christians who have also been living there for thousands of years.

So pick a lane. Are we ignoring the past 76 years of history to justify the ethnic cleansing we're all witnessing in Gaza? Or are we clinging desperately to 3000-year-old history to justify...well, a slightly slower ethnic cleansing?
