  • Holy fucking shit, how is it that you are incapable of conceiving any way of punishing a government that isn't "Ethnic cleansing" or "Genocide via murder"?!

    Funny that your definition of ethnic cleansing is dependent on who's doing it. Removing an occupying force....ethnic cleansing. Israel occupying Gaza...not an ethnic cleansing. Interesting.

    Oh, of course, that completely explains why Israelis have to be ethnically cleansed, thank you for informing me on the moral and practical necessity of genocide when it's against Bad Ethnicity.

    "People immigrating to Israel, in majority Jewish Israeli areas, where the Israeli state is recognized as having jurisdiction by international law and consensus, is not fucking ethnic cleansing, no."

    Is what I responded too......your hysterics are not an argument.

    People are just being critical of an ethnostate when they advocate for ethnic cleansing and genocide!"

    Lol, who is calling for a genocide of Israelis? Your definition of ethnic cleansing is also not on solid ground. Deporting the colonizing forces of a hostile state who is actively doing a genocide isn't exactly an "ethnic cleansing ".

    You're sitting here, not just 'criticizing' the horrific policies of the Israeli state, but outright advocating for the ethnic cleansing of Israel of Israeli Jews, and you have the gall to claim it's "not racism, it's criticizing a government built on racism"?

    Again.....with the hyperbole. Plus I never even advocated the removal of Jews from Israel. I said I can understand why Palestinians would want that.

    You do realize that the entire ethnic cleansing of Germans after WW2 is a massive atrocity that occurred and a subject of intense study by historians and sociologists, right?

    Again..... You are conflating nationality with ethnicity....which is why ethno-states are wrong. Russians didn't kill Germans because of their ethnicity, they killed Germans because the German nation did so many war crimes during their invasion.

    no, what am I saying? Ethnic cleansing is a good and wholesome response for the crimes of a country. That's why Nazi Germany was justified in ethnically cleansing Alsace-Lorraine! Oh, fuck, wait, no, that's bad. That's why Israel was justified in ethnically cleansing Palestinians! No, wait, that's bad too. Oh, wait, I have it! That's why Palestine would be justified in ethnically cleansing Israel! There! GOOD ethnic cleansing to go against all that BAD ethnic cleansing!

    You're conflating ethnic cleansing with genocide..... And you are utilizing a very dubious definition of ethnic cleansing to begin with.

    Israel is committing genocide, therefore, it's okay to genocide Israelis!"

    Oh yeah.....because Palestinians wanting Israelis to immigrate back to Europe is the same as a genocide.

    Again, I don't really think you are acknowledging the fact that an apartheid ethno-state is genociding a people who used to own the land that ethno-state is founded upon.

    Is really that hard to understand why a Palestinian would want Israelis to go away?

    By the way, labeling decolonization as genocide is an age old tactic of those who benefit from colonialism

    • Funny that your definition of ethnic cleansing is dependent on who’s doing it. Removing an occupying force…ethnic cleansing. Israel occupying Gaza…not an ethnic cleansing. Interesting.

      I literally call Israel's actions genocide several times in this very thread.

      Do you need a remedial literacy class or something?

      Oh yeah…because Palestinians wanting Israelis to immigrate back to Europe is the same as a genocide.

      Jesus fucking Christ. Thank you for demonstrating my point, Mirror Hasbara.

        "People immigrating to Israel, in majority Jewish Israeli areas, where the Israeli state is recognized as having jurisdiction by international law and consensus, is not fucking ethnic cleansing, no."

        So a state is paying people to immigrate, and that state is also paying for the colonization of a neighboring state and forcibly moving the ethnic population....but since it's not the same people it's not ethnic cleansing?

        Jesus fucking Christ. Thank you for demonstrating my point, Mirror Hasbara.

        Lol, you don't have a fucking point other than conflating decolonization with genocide.

          The discussion was about the question of expelling Israeli immigrants for the crime of being immigrants, so no, those immigrants were not engaging in ethnic cleansing. Is it a lack of literacy, or a lack of intellectual integrity that causes you to conflate me saying "every Israeli immigrant isn't engaging in ethnic cleansing and thus cannot be collectively punished with ethnic cleansing" with "The government of Israel is not committing ethnic cleansing"?

          Both, maybe?

          Lol, you don’t have a fucking point other than conflating decolonization with genocide.

          Please, tell me more about how ethnic cleansing isn't genocide if it's done to Bad Ethnicity(tm).
