We were oppressed for 2000 years. We rebelled in 1948. We decolonized our indigenous land in 1948. We offered to share the land with the colonizer. They responded with endless war.
Leave us alone and there will be peace. Enough.

You guys have always been sooo clever.

Apartheid? Every citizen of Israel has equal rights.
Israel has offered multiple imperfect peace deals, only to be met with more war, more bloodshed, more misery.
Racists have entered our communities for centuries and committed depraved atrocities like October 7.
Now we can fight back.
Try peace.

It's the logic of decolonization and rebellion. Right back at you.

If you can find a community of Canaanites still trying to follow the old ways, they'd be indigenous also. We've been following the old ways as best we can and reading the same literature for 3000 years.
Expansionist? Israel has given away land 3x the size of Israel for peace.
Make love not war.

Jews are indigenous to Judea.
Canaanites haven't been around since 700BC.
The Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Macedonians, Romans, Arab/Muslim Caliphates, Crusaders, Ayyubid and Mamluk Sultanates, and the Ottomans came as imperialist conquerors.
We decolonized our land in 1948.

Israel is a democracy that has a far right government right now, that's true. And Israel's enemies are ultra right-wing monarchies and dictatorships.
I wish the Arabs had chosen peace instead of endless war. I wish they would surrender to end this one.
Make love not war.

If Hamas hadn't started the brutal war by butchering our kids, no Gazans would be killed.
Hamas started an idiotic war, and since Jews finally fight back, we are fighting that war. Hamas can end it at any time by surrendering.
War is hell. That's why fascists shouldn't start them.
Make love not war.

History and archeology would beg to differ.

Jewish scripture has nothing to do with archeology and history. Other than proof that we've been writing books in Israel for 3000 years.
We're not indigenous because we feel G-d gave us our land, we're indigenous because we're indigenous.
Our rights are historic, not supernatural.

And every Jewish institution didn't support slavery. And, um, slavery is illegal in the US now.

Slavery in the US ended some time ago. But if a Jew had slaves now, the slaves would certainly have the right to rebel.
Black people had slaves too. Also, the Buffalo Soldiers killed a lot of Native Americans. Enthusiastically. People are complicated.

Using our sacred texts as some sort of proof? Are you a fundamentalist? Maybe talk it over with your sky daddy.
Meanwhile, archeology and the historic record show our indigeneity and our 3000 year connection to the land.
Respect indigenous rights.

Our house was stolen at sword point. We took it back in 1948. We were never offered a state by the oppressor. In our own land!
Yet we offered to share. If they had accepted there'd be a State of Palestine just like the State of Israel. They chose endless war.
Choose peace.

We've had a continuous presence in our land for over 3000 years. We were an oppressed minority. Oppressed people have the right to rebel.
We rebelled in 1948, and yet we offered to share with the oppressor. They chose war.
Choose peace.

Every death from this war is on Hamas. Every German death in WWII was on the nazis. Every death in the US South was on the Confederacy. Fascists shouldn't start wars.
Israel can do more damage than Hamas, so Hamas obviously shouldn't have attacked Israel by butchering our kids.
Make love not war.

The Arabs arrived as colonizers. Many colonizers have ancestry that includes the people they conquer, like Elizabeth Warren.
In 1947 two peoples had a claim to the land- the indigenous Jews and the colonizer. The colonizer was offered a state also. They chose endless war.

Hamas needs to surrender so they can't inflict this misery on Jews or Arabs ever again. The hostages need to be freed also.
War is hell. Make love not war.

Oliver Twist isn't a factual document, but we know who wrote it and when it was written. Like the Bible.
Jews are indigenous to Judea. Arabs are indigenous to Arabia. Arabs conquered Judea and went on to conquer and colonize the entire Middle East and North Africa.
We rebelled in 1948.

The Cherokee were also oppressed by colonizers and now they live in Oklahoma. So they're no longer Cherokee? I guess they're Oklahoman cowboys now.
Oppression doesn't negate indigeneity.

The Jewish resistance was attacked by the imperialists when we decolonized our land and declared independence. Zionism is resistance to 2000 years of oppression in the East and West.
Vive la résistance!

Israel is the indigenous homeland of the Jewish people. The Arabs arrived as colonizers. Indigenous people are the people who are there when the colonizers come to call. The Jews were there when the Assyrians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, and Arabs arrived to kill and conquer. We are still there.

The indigenous people spoke Hebrew. We've been writing stuff down for over 3000 years. In Hebrew. You may even have read some of our books. One called the Bible is quite popular.
Our land was colonized. Like all indigenous people we became a minority in our on land. Israel was decolonized in 1948.

Palestine is a colonial construct. The name was given by western imperialists to erase the indigenous people.
The indigenous people have called it Israel for over 3000 years.
Palestinians are holding themselves in limbo via endless war instead of accepting an imperfect peace deal.

It's been Jewish land for 3000 years. It had been occupied for 2000 years, and we were an oppressed minority in our own land.
We decolonized our land in 1948. Yet we offered to share with the colonizer. They responded with endless war and misery instead of peace. Choose peace.

Indeed. The Jews offered to share the land right from the start. If the Arabs had accepted partition, there'd be a prosperous State of Palestine for 77 years. And there'd be peace and cooperation. Rewarding the Palestinians with a state for starting yet another war is evil.

An ultra right-wing fascist dictatorship started a war by butchering minority children at a music festival. They also took hostages.
Jews fight back now, and so we are fighting that war.
The war will end when the fascists surrender.
Anything else is imperialist propaganda.

And Jews have been victims of white supremacy longer than any other group of people in earth.
We've also been long term victims of Muslim supremacy.

If Palestinians have a right to armed resistance against the Jews because of a so-called 75 year occupation, it would seem that the Jews have an even greater right to armed resistance against 1400 years of Islamic supremacy, race laws, massacres, and oppression. Real oppression.
