    And how many Palestinians in Gaza support forced expulsion of Israelis?

    Everyone has infinite sympathy for their own tribe and infinite hostility for those that attack them. News at 11.

    It’s funny how the guy who paid Elon Musk for a blue checkmark seems to think the problem is people not hating the other tribe enough.

      "How many Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto support forced expulsion of Germans?

      Everyone has infinite sympathy for their own tribe and infinite hostility for those that attack them. News at 11."

        The fact that you think I’m here to tout Jews is proof of how lost this whole struggle is. Being right has no ethnicity. Nor does being wrong. If you disagree, you’re on the same side as the people putting Jews and Palestinians alike in ghettos.

          I’m not even sure what this sentence is supposed to mean. But what I think you’re here to do is spread smug, above-it-all, both-sidesism about the must brutally one sided genocide of our era. And stating that you would have done the same thing during the holocaust

            If there was a Jewish person saying the problem wasn’t Hitler or the Nazis but the German people, yeah I’d absolutely do the “both sides” thing and criticize that guy. Because that’s no different than what the Nazis say, just applied to different people.

        If you are defending a post that says it’s in a certain people’s nature to be racist and violent, then you have the same exact opinion of the most right wing Zionist settlers, with just a tweak on the ethnicity.

        At some point you’ll realize you’re fighting on the same team. Pro Palestine zealots and Zionist zealots both want endless war. The few people who want peace for everyone have been excluded from the conversation almost entirely. Or as in my case, blocked/deleted.

        Ok I wrote that a while ago before I went on vacation, not at all sure why it was deleted. But are you asking me for numbers to validate tribalism? Just look around.
