    The mistrust between the Israeli population and the Palestinian population goes back decades. And here you come - an outsider, am I right? - to decide for us what the best solution is and to essentially “just get along”. Do you have any idea what people in Palestine and Israel actually think, and actually feel? You’re completely tone deaf. To decide as an outsider what we should be doing is rooted in exactly the same origins as colonialism - western powers think they can decide what the world should look like, and bend everyone to their will. Even if you think you’re right, you’re just tone deaf.

      That’s what Palestinians have been supporting though. The Israeli slaughter of Palestinians via genocide has indeed gone back 75 years, it sounds like we should listen to the voices of the oppressed.

      Yes, I do believe Israelis and Palestinians can get along, in a single state not dominated by either, but democratically by the people.

      Pretending that opposing settler colonialism is somehow colonial, and that I should just watch Israel massacre children, is truly vile.

      Rethink what you’re saying. Either push for a one-state solution, propose a better alternative, or admit that you’re fine with genocide and settler colonialism continuing. Right now, you’ve only fought against a one-state solution by saying different ethnic groups just can’t get along, which is a colonial mindset.
