    This may not be the proper place for this, but is there a video or explanation for why Palestine is hated so much by Israel? Germany is no longer seen as entirely evil Nazi’s, Japan doesn’t have the same stigmas from WWII either. What has Palestine done to warrant the atrocities happening? If it happened in the past, surely, by now, enough time has passed where it just doesn’t matter anymore.

      Israelis are indoctrinated from their youth to see Palestinians as barbarians trying to kill all Israelis (or Jews as they like to call themselves). This creates a justification for the Israeli colonists to kill all Palestinians because with their twisted logic it is “kill or be killed”.

      What is remarkable is Israelis frequently project evils committed by themselves in the past against Palestinians. Such as Israelis throwing children in ovens during the Nakba. Or mass the mass rape of Palestinian hostages by Israel/

      If Israel accuses Palestinians of something heinous, you can almost guarantee that Israel did that very thing against Palestinians

      It’s simple; they’re living on the land that the zionist project wants. Everything else is just working backwards from that to create ideological justification for wiping them out.

      Probably being egged on by USA and Europe for the purposes of keeping the Middle East in line. Most of Israel funding comes from defense spending from the US and other countries. They don’t have oil like their rich Arab neighbors. ME do not like Israel around . Also the land was stolen from Palestinians, after WW2.

      Japan wasnt invaded and had their population extirpated after. They mostly kept their population there after the war

        It’s hard to tell where to start with all the things wrong with what you’ve said:

        1. Palestinians include people of multiple religions.
        2. Muslims do not believe they are God’s “chosen ones”
        3. Neither does Islam have any concept of birthrights based on religion.
        4. Palestinian claims to Jerusalem (and Palestine in general) aren’t based on religion but rather the fact that it actually is their land.

        It’s sounds like you’ve been taken in by Israeli propaganda that tries to misrepresent the root causes.

        The real root cause is colonialism. It’s not about religion at all except as an excuse to colonize the region.

            To be clear; the items in my list are my rebuttals to the now-deleted comment I was replying to.

            I.E. those are the things I was asserting as being true, not the things I was disputing.
