              I have and it still does not relate to Israel. Death of 15k whilst the number of Palestinians is 5 million is not genocide. Surely, it’s terrible but it’s not a genocide especially considering how many of them died due to lack of bunkers in Gaza.

                Oh sweet summer child you gave away the game.

                “Death of 15k whilst the number of Palestinians is 5 million is not genocide. Surely, it’s terrible but it’s not a genocide…”

        If Israel actually gave all Palestinians Israeli citizenship, you’d be right. But, that’s not going to happen. Why do you think the Nakba happened and Israel keeps rejecting Palestinian right of return? They want Israel to have a Jewish majority and they’re willing to commit Apartheid and ethnic cleansing to get it.

            “WE CAN’T LET THEM VOTE OR THEY MIGHT VOTE FOR THE WRONG PEOPLE!”

            Put the mask back up, your authoritarian and bigoted cheeks are showing.

              Are you aware of the fact how easy democracy can be turned into a dictatorship? Just look at Germany from 1930s.

              Majority of Palestinians are quite radicalized. Take Gaza inhabitants, for instance. For the past 18 years Hamas was governing there and you know what’s Hamas’s main goal? To remove all the Jews and Israel altogether. Many Palestinian citizens actually support this narrative.

              Now let’s be realistic: how many % could Hamas get in the Israel+Palestine elections. Just look at this poll: https://thehill.com/opinion/4273883-mellman-do-palestinians-support-hamas-polls-paint-a-murky-picture/ This means Hamas would probably get anywhere from 15-25% if there were joint in Israel+Palestine. Do I have to keep on explaining why this would be a catastrophe? And also don’t forget to add some radical orthodox Jews who believe the entirety of the land was given by God to Jews…

              For the same reason there aren’t joint elections between south and north korea…

                  This is unbelievable man. You are literally accusing me without proving one relevant argument whilst I in detail explained why at the moment it would have disastrous effects to let Palestinians vote in Israeli government. And I am rather ignoring the Hitler note cause it’s rather funny.

                  Have you ever been to Israel and Palestine? Cause to me it seems like you have no clue what’s happening there and acting like you’re the most knowledgeable in the world.

                    There is this weird thing called comment history. I took a peek and you are hands down one of the more bigoted assholes here.

                    Take a peek at mine and you will see how much I know, I’ll wait dipshit.

                    That you can’t see how you are acting like a modern day Nazi is an amazing skill you have. Take off your blinders and look at what you have said if you just switch out the names of countries and peoples for say “whites” and “blacks”. I know you won’t honestly do it because you are steeped in propaganda and the cognitive dissonance would cook your brain.

                    Oh and just to make sure I’m clear I don’t show courtesy to racist’s. With that in mind… Fuck off bigot.

        Second-class citizens. Almost all palestinians do not even have the right to vote, and even those who do have fewer rights.

          Are you talking about Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, or Arab Israeli citizens with a Palestinian background? Because those are two very different legal categories. Arab Israelis have full legal rights. Palestinians don’t, because they’re not Israelis, which I’m pretty sure is something we all agree on. Israel doesn’t claim them, and you’d be screaming ethnic cleansing if it did.

              Props to the graphic designer.

              Now what’s the exact issue you have? People who are not Israeli citizens and do not live in Israel cannot vote in Israeli elections. People who are citizens and who do live in Israel can vote. The housing discrimination that mentions is gross, I’ll admit, but that’s the main objectionable thing I see.

              Do you want Israel to annex the West Bank or something?

                I don’t want it, but even in the case of gaza and the west bank they are de facto under israeli control or even under permanent military occupation, with no expectation of diminishing but the opposite, isn’t this essentially an annexation but denying their rights?

                The exact issue is that Israel is repeating both the holocaust and apartheid all at the same time.

                Since fucking when is it NOT an issue that people don’t have the same rights? Wtf

                  If you think anything happening is remotely comparable to the Holocaust, you don’t know anything about the Holocaust. If Israel was trying to exterminate Palestinians the way the Nazis tried to exterminate the Jews, Gaza would be a sheet of right now.

                  I also don’t have the right to vote in Israel, which makes sense, seeing as I don’t live there and I’m not a citizen. I weirdly don’t have the right to vote in Germany or Russian either.

                    I know that one time a holocaust survivor spoke of the thirst she felt during that time and how it was indescribable, and I think of all the missing Palestinians that had their bones crushed to rubble as they waited for hours to be rescued, and all those that didn’t survive. I think of how Israel dehumanized them and ethnically cleansed them, how they held back fuel and medical supplies that could save innocent lives, and I can’t help but draw comparison. The message of holocaust survivors was clear: Never again. Never again doesn’t mean denying it when it happens again. Never again means Palestinians too.

                    You are being intellectually dishonest. We are not taking about a German with voting rights in Russia. We are talking about a population being colonized by Israel, being tortured by Israel, being denied their land, their basic human rights, and their right to self determination. Gaza is not France, Israel is not Russia. This is more like Americans wiping out the native population, or apartheid south Africa. Gazans had their citizenhood stolen from them by Israel. And on top of that they treat Palestinian Israelis like shit…

                    The only democracy in the middle east my fucking ass…

          And did you ask yourself why they don’t have the right to vote? It was decision made by Hamas and PLO not to organize another election.
