Wait, seriously? Israel steals a people's land just 75 years ago (this is hardly ancient history), as well as slaughtering a good number of them, those people say, "no, were not accepting this," and you think Israel has a "right" to say "fuck you" in response???

If I moved my heavily armed family into your house one day, perhaps killing a member of your family in the process, and then you fought to regain your property and avenge that death, would I have a "right" to say "fuck you" because I was worried about whether your attempts to retake your property might harm my family?

Yes, I understand the fears of the current generation of Israelis. And that current generation obviously aren't responsible for the Nakba. But the solution here is for Israel to recognise the wrongs it has committed and pursue a compromise that is at least somewhat just. Not to say, "fuck you for wanting what any human being would want in your situation."
