I think it's part of the reason some people get so mad when you point out that Semitic includes Arabs so antisemitic should really apply to both. They'll argue to hell and back that it wasn't the original German use and that it always meant Jews, but while contemporary use may be that, the origins were really just all racially charged Aryan versus Semitic eugenics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism#Origin_and_usage It's like they can't cope with the possibility of putting yourself in someone else's place, but I guess that's the blinders of religious fervor for you.

Does that include a way for them to return after the conflict settles?

Obviously not since the whole goal is to steal their land.

Here's a weird thought... how about Israel pull the fuck out of Gaza and all the Palestinians living there just continue to live there.

And then stay the fuck out of Gaza forevermore.

Hope they can get asylum and help quickly.

The Palestinians don’t want to leave and would rather die. The solution for ethnic cleansing isn’t facilitating it.

If they want to stay in the missles way and be genocided I guess they can make that choice too.

Do you think this right applies to Russians and Chinese too? Or only Israelis are allowed to massacre civilians and get away with it?
