Ok, this statement only makes sense if you were referring to the settlers on the West Bank which are illegal.
However, that makes no sense based on your responses throughout this thread and the last one that I ripped into you for.
CP said,
To which you said,
Now anyone remotely familiar with the situation would recognize that when she referred to “six million Jews” she was referring to all of Israel’s Jewish population, who, with few exceptions are overwhelmingly not people “displaced themselves” but refugees from Europe or the Muslim parts of the Middle East.
As I said, your statement shows disgusting insensitivity towards refugees and is extremely hypocritical for an American to say since the European settlers weren’t refugees, weren’t returning to their ancestral homeland and were far, far worse to the people living their and did genuinely engage in genocide.
When challenged as to who you meant, you proclaimed,
Now anyone remotely familiar with the conflict knows that “Palestine” constitutes far more than just the West Bank, but all of Israel and, depending on how you feel, Jordan as well.
Similarly anyone knowledgeable about the situation when they make references to “Palestine” does not mean just the West Bank and that is also true of people in the West Bank.
In every Arab country, whenever you see a map of “Palestine” it includes all of Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip(though for political reasons not Jordan).
Similarly, when Palestinians refer to Jewish “settlers” in “Palestine” they mean Yemeni Jews living in Tel Aviv since as far as they’re concerned all the Jews living there are alien invaders who’ve stolen land that didn’t belong to them.
This is of course similar to the way Black South Africans used to say things like “One settler, one bullet” referring to White South Africans.
Now apparently you’re claiming that when you were referring to the “six million Jews who displaced themselves” and raging against the Jews who’ve dared to settle in “Palestine” that you were only referring to the Jewish settlers on the West Bank.
Ok, I’ll take you at your word that you thought that there were six million Jews living in the West Bank and that “Palestine” consisted solely of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
I apologize for my remarks then. I shouldn’t have assumed that you knew what “Palestine” constituted or had an inkling of how many Jews lived in Israel. I did not realize how little you knew about the conflict.
Since you’re so passionate about it I assumed that you had some understanding of it. Once again, I apologize for my assumptions and won’t make that mistake again.
