    Conflict? How the fuck they gonna call it a ‘conflict’? It’s an outright terrorist fucking war!

    But hey, let’s just tell them to press the pause button, they can go back to their ‘conflict’ tomorrow…

        Did I name a country? Did I name a group? No.

        I don’t know for myself what all factors led up to the current situation going on over there, other than what the news and media presents. As if I trust everything I hear on the news…

        But I do know the extreme destruction and massive deaths we’re all seeing on the news. That’s not a conflict, a conflict is when two dudes fist fight at a bar.

        To call the events going on over there a conflict is a goddamn joke, call it for what it is, terrorism.

          Being ignorant of the facts doesn’t change them.

          Israel colonized and displaced the indigenous population 75+ years ago and have been doing the genocide thing ever since.

          I agree it’s not a conflict at all but a genocide.

            Uh Palestinians are not fucking indigenous.

            Palestine only became an idea after the Muslim conquest of the levant in the late 600s CE, when the Arabs went on their own genocide across the entire Middle East conquering everything and raping and killing everyone in sight.

            If you want to talk about indigenous, then you’d have to go back to the Israelites around 3200 years ago, or the Philistines before them.

              I mean it’s the fertile crescent. It’s been likely that it’s been being recolonized for hundreds of thousands of years. Not really any other landroutes out of Africa.

                  Or that many groups have indigenous claims to the area.

                  For example, pacific islanders didnt’ get to many islands till the 900-1100 time period. We’d still call them indigenous peoples of those places.

                  More than one thing can be true at the same time.

                    We call them indigenous because they were the first ones there…

                    Palestinians were not. They killed the people who were there and took it.
