Israel has no right to occupy Palestine

SW-User
@cultofaction Now that's a huge can of worms that requires going back to the League of Nations "Mandate for Palestine", the role the US played in site selection, the role Britain played in executing the plan and then abandoning their role as arbiters and security, etc. If you're going back to League of Nations, I agree that was a grievous error that the world has been dealing with ever since. However, the reality is that both populations exist in what had been solely Palestine for close to a century now. A two state solution is the only feasible solution to address the current situation. I don't see any hint of leadership from the US that is competent enough to help broker that.

@cultofaction palestine is a myth

@SW-User There's a distinct difference between justice and what is most convenient.

@MasterLee So is most of Africa. Why did we abandon that conquest if Jews can colonize Palestine?

@cultofaction I don't know whether liberals hold that position. Both sides show a lot of favoritism to Israel in general. That's one of the few shared policy points that 3rd parties point out to differentiate themselves.

@cultofaction there is no palestine
cultofaction · 26-30, M
@MasterLee There is no Israel?
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@cultofaction Israel has existed since 1948. Been in a few papers.

@MasterLee Never heard of it. Are you sure you didn't just make that up? 🤣
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@cultofaction positive. Check out the evidence of israels existence. Take your time.

@MasterLee Serious inquiry though: if Palestine is fair game, why is Africa off limits? I'd gladly be in favor of seeing both go to good use, but I don't like double standards.

@cultofaction africa is not in play. Besides, who cares?
cultofaction · 26-30, M
@MasterLee Says who? And don't you? Africa is extremely resource rich. Don't you think that's good? Palestine is a strip of dirt.

@cultofaction palestine is a bunch of terrorists trying to kill people
cultofaction · 26-30, M
@MasterLee So why is that worthwhile and Africa isn't? Seems illogical
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@cultofaction don't care. Why don't you head there and plead your case.

@MasterLee You don't care about many many billions of dollars of potential GDP for America going to waste? But you do care about some Jews arbitrarily picking a country and deciding they own it? What gives? You seem very biased against your own interest. Usually you're on the ball with these things

@cultofaction I do but my headache informs me not to get into an argument.

@MasterLee Alright
