    What matters isn’t who came first. What matters is that no one has the right to expel a human from a land they’re living in. That is the core of the Israeli Palestinian conflict.

    I am pro Palestine, but have no issue with the increase of Jewish migrations in the 19th century. The problem is not Jewish migration. It is the fact that Israel expelled Palestinians from their homes, murdered them, suffocated them, and made their lives miserable.

    And this is the same thing that was done to the native people of the modern day Americas.




  • can anyone rightfully claim it the land belongs to “Palestine”

    You should tell that to Israel, which is expelling Palestinians from this land every week for decades. It is not the Palestinians who are claiming the land exclusively to themselves and expelling others from it. It is Israel doing that. I find it crazy that you somehow argue this as if Palestine is doing that.


  • all this land is my country’s, the other country should not exist.

    One of those countries is an ethno-religious state that is exclusive of the other. Can you guess which one?

    If you are an ethno-religious exclusivist who says “your country shouldn’t exist only mine!” and I am a country that multi-religious, and say “actually my country should be the prevailing one, not your exclusivist one”, you gotta realize those two are massively different, unlike you portray.

    The Russo-Ukranian conflict is clear. One leader is claiming the land of the other

    Russia’s original pretext for the war is not about territorial gains. It was supposedly regarding Ukraine’s attack on Donetsk, Luhansk, and ethnic Russian populations in general (such as the Odessa massacre), what they also called “de-nazification” of the Ukrainian government, and Ukraine’s bid to join NATO. This is easily verifiable, but I can provide you a sources on this if you doubt me.

    I am not claiming what Russia is saying is true, but it is not what you make it seem to make your argument.




  • I posted a bunch in this community before it surged in June / July. I still comment moderately here, and read comment threads moderately.

    Overall I’m not super active. I would just watch my regular feed and comment threads like I currently do, and if I see something uncivil, I’ll intervene. So if I am chosen, it would be ideal to have other mods as well, as I may not be enough on my own.

    Americans do a lot of stupid things, but they are most likely to be self critical in this space. I think this meme should talk about Western Europe instead, because they have many problems, but they are so often never willing to accept criticism. They’re quick to call the US racist, but in my experience, Europe has so much racism it’s crazy it’s viewed as this anti racist place.
