    Tell me about the rights of Jews in any of the surrounding Arab countries first. They don’t have any either, where they weren’t forcibly expelled.

    What a low bar to set for a supposedly first world nation.

      The second world gets a pass on ethnic cleansing? What a weird policy.

        You are saying because Arab countries are shit to Jews, it’s okay for Israel to be shit to Arabs in their own country.

          No, I’m saying this issue is complicated and if your primary sources of information are Twitter and tiktok then you should do some actual research before making blanket statements of good and evil.

            I’m not sure what you are insinuating. I’m not reading twitter or TikTok. My primary source is you. I quoted your post. Let me rephrase for you:

            Someone else said that Arabs don’t have rights in Israel. You said that it’s the same as Jews not having rights in surrounding Arab Nations, coupled with them actually being expelled from those countries. You are justifying Israel being shitty towards Arabs within Israel with the surrounding nations being shitty towards them.

            This would be as if Hungary was shitty towards Romanians in Hungary (they are not) just because Romanians have been shitty towards Hungarian minority living in Romania after decades of propaganda. Or as if francophones were treated badly in Ontario (they are not) just because Québec treats Anglos like second class citizens.

            Let me see what random goalpost moving shit you bring up in your next post.

              Context clues mate. Consider the point the person I was replying to was trying to make. I never suggested anything was “okay” for anyone to do, just that the “pro October 7th” narrative they were trying to spin was insane and they had absolutely no idea what they were talking about about.
