I have seen plenty of strongly anti-Palestinian remarks and unconditional, doctrine-like support for Israel.

What do you think of this quote?
[quote]"You're only here by mistake because Ben-Gurion didn't finish the job; didn't throw you out in 1948"
~ Bezalel Smotrich[/quote]

He confesses that Israel exists because of the genocide and expulsion of Palestinians. For a video, view here and let me know what you think of the passion behind his remarks.

I'm curious to hear from those who have a hatred of the Palestinians being destroyed by Israel what their justification to support this evil. And if you're someone who doesn't care, why don't you care? Do you believe in "Human Rights?"

I admit there’s a lot I have questions about, but Israel as a country has done some things that would be universally criticized from just about any other country, especially based upon the premise that both Israel [b]and[/b] Palestine deserve to exist. The unfairness of Palestinian homes being destroyed while Israeli settlers continue to move into those areas is an example.
And I resent that some people can’t hear any criticism of Israel’s [b]policies[/b] without making the accusation of anti-semitism. If that were even close to being true, nobody Jewish would be critical of those policies. And many are.

What justifies Israel's existence? I'm just curious because Israel didn't exist before they attacked Palestine in the Nakba like the Americans who slaughtered the Native Americans. Or the British who slaughtered the Mau Mau.

Ideally, my question can be read as:
Why are people against the killings and stealing of homes of living Palestinians today but support Israel which exists because they just did it in the Nakba?
Bezalel Smotrich is pissed that there are even Palestinians to still steal land from today and wishes they were all exterminated or executed.

@Babylon Perhaps for the same reason (since you used the analogy) that even those who acknowledge that the U.S. was wrong for its genocide of our indigenous people don’t necessarily want our country destroyed.
