So are you going to acknowledge that it was in response to the 1948 War where a league of arab nations attempted to wipe Israel off the map the moment it was declared a state? Are you going to go a half step back before that where the 1947 partition map as rejected by the Palestinian people, opting instead to go to war to kill everyone and take all of the land in the partition plan? Are you then going to go even further back and point out that the partition was made in response to the collapse of the ottoman empire, under which Israel was one of like a dozen countries that was formed, and yet no one ever seems to claim that the boundaries of Iraq or Syria are invalid because they were made by the League of Nations and the UN at the exact same time as israel?

Or are you going to do that thing where you remove all of the history and context leading up to those events so that it doesn't look like Israel was responding to an attempt to genocide every single Jewish person that lived within the boundaries of that country so that you can try and make them look like some kind of objective bad guy while they're in the middle of fighting a terrorist organization that has the global eradication of the Jewish people in their charter.

Which makes it even scarier when members of the Israeli government are now saying they need a Nakba in Gaza. The citizens of both countries need to rise up above their oppressive leadership that uses their lives as fodder. Israel needs to stop electing far right shitheads and Palestinians need to get out from under terrorist rule.
