      You’re right. Israel was always there and then the Palestinians just showed up randomly one day and attacked them out of nowhere. There is no decades long history of apartheid and outright oppression of the Palestinian people by the state of Israel and this conflict has no roots in colonialism or ethnostate politics. /s

        Both Israelis and Palestinians are native to the same place. Both have faced persecution and intolerance under the various empires that have controlled the land. From the Romans to the Ottomans to the British, even now the American empire is tipping the scales for their own benefit. The conflict cannot be solved by exiling or eliminating one side or the other, true peace and cooperation is the only way forward.
