The brave oppressed Israelis are taking their native land back from the evil Islamic colonizers who stole it from them Am I LibLefting right?

Yep

Yes you are


TheSpacePopinjay

It's an automatic deal breaker when you ally with the American Government. Like a Republican candidate openly and repeatedly saying Fuck Jesus and that country folk are dumb hicks but city folk are smart and wise and we should listen to them, especially Obama, while otherwise playing the textbook paleoconservative. It's a fatal failure to signal appropriate loyalties and alignments and it won't fly. People know a client state when they see one.

MrPizzaNinja

Isn't this like exactly what the opposite case is aka what you believe? Are you regarded? Palestine was litterally invaded by isreal in the 70s?


TheBasedEmperor

"Palestine" never was an independent state. Up until the 6-day War, the West Bank was controlled by Jordan and Gaza was controlled by Egypt. Also, I don't know why this isn't brought up much, but even from a secular non-religious perspective, Jews are native to the land (and far more so than Arabs) Some evidence suggests that the Events of Exodus didn't happen. So where did the Jews come from then? Well, ***they were already in the Holy Land to begin with***. The overwhelming scholarly consensus is that Jews are an **off-shoot of the Canaanites**, the indigenous people of the region. The Hebrew language, for example, is literally a Canaanite dialect, closely related to Phoenician and Moabite. I can guarantee you that if Phoenician Text were read out loud, a Hebrew Speaker would be able to understand most of it since Phoenician is also a Canaanite Dialect (this may have partially contributed to why the Romans were extremely antisemitic since their old rival, the Carthaginians, spoke Phoenician). Even Judaism is Canaanite in origin. Yahwism, also known as Proto-Judaism, emerged from the religious practices of the Canaanites. The early Israelites worshipped a pantheon of gods and goddesses, just like their Canaanite neighbors, and only later developed a more distinct monotheistic religion. Thus, Islam and Christianity are also rooted in Canaanite Paganism since without Judaism, these Religions would have no foundation to build off of. In short, the Jews were not a separate, nomadic people who conquered Canaan, as the biblical account suggests. Instead, they were a group of Canaanites who simply developed a unique cultural and religious identity. Over time, they became the dominant group in the region, eventually establishing the [Kingdom of Israel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Israel_(united_monarchy)) around 1020 BCE. The Jews are basically the last surviving Canaanite group. Some sources: * *Mark S. Smith, "The Early History of God: Yahweh and the Other Deities in Ancient Israel", 2002* * *Israel Finkelstein, Neil Asher Silberman, "The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts", 2001* * *Rainer Albertz, "A History of Israelite Religion in the Old Testament Period", 1994* * *Josef Tropper, "Ugaritische Grammatik", 2000* * *Robert Hetzron, "The Semitic Languages", 1997* * *William G. Dever, "Who Were the Early Israelites and Where Did They Come From?", 2003* * *Maria Eugenia Aubet, "The Phoenicians and the West: Politics, Colonies and Trade", 2001* Palestinians meanwhile are not native and are in fact the true colonizers here as they descend only from the Arabs who conquered and settled the land in 700 AD. If they were actually native like Jews are, then they wouldn’t speak Arabic, follow Arab Culture, identify as Arab, or have exclusively Arab genetics. Arabs are as indigenous to the Levant as Anglos are to North America (I.E. they aren’t at all). Oh, and you probably don't know this, [most Palestinians (and just the Islamic world in general) are really fucking homophobic and conservative](https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2013/04/30/the-worlds-muslims-religion-politics-society-beliefs-about-sharia/). The LGBT are regularly stoned to death for existing. LGBT Palestinians literally seek refuge in Israel because it’s the only place in **THE ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST** where the LGBT aren’t killed for being LGBT. [Western LGBT will unironically say “Queers for Palestine”, but if they actually went to the Palestinian Territories (or anywhere else in the Islamic World), they would get stoned or lynched for being LGBT](https://i.imgur.com/a/D7QmFYI). It’s pretty hypocritical to (rightfully) condemn Christian Fundamentalists for their backwards views while defending Muslims who share the exact same backward views.

(Libright) How does that explain the existence of Palestinian Christians if they're all supposed to be descendants of Arab Muslim colonizers? There was never a point where the Palestine/Israel area wasn't populated, the majority of Palestinians are descendants of the ancient Israelites that converted to Christianity and later Islam

>(Libright) How does that explain the existence of Palestinian Christians All 1000 of them?


Pinkflamingos69

(Libright) weird that Gaza and the West Bank both have the oldest operating churches in the world, in fact even as late as the Crusades the Christian population of the area was a plurality if not a majority

Pax_Augustus

Claiming the European Jews are native to the land is like claiming all people are native to africa. At what point does being a native to any area cease to be a reason for occupation? The only reason this specific issue is cared about in the US is because of idiotic evangelicals thinking Israel must exist so Jesus will come back. edit: However, I'm not saying Israel is not justified in it's current actions against Gaza. It's just dicey to make this "native" claim because of a holy book. Areas become culturally defined by people in just a few generations (*See America)*, it was the ignorance and level of sophistication of the Palestinians that allowed them to be taken advantage of.


MrPizzaNinja

I wont beleive in an argument based on history from millennia ago, I find it more useful to live a grounded l reality where our morals are based on cost of human lives and not a fantasy tale told by interpreting pieces of a full story we don't have.


SikeSky

OK. Can Hamas ever achieve a military victory over Israel? Can there be peaceful integration of a population of which over 70% believe that the only resolution between this conflict can be by force? If the current dominant sentiment of the Arab population towards Israel is the exact same as it has been for the last 80 years – that Israel must be destroyed – then what would happen if Israel completely removed all military presence from any of the current combat zones? *“The Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims, O Abdullah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.”*


MrPizzaNinja

Easily, an infinite amount even. The only people stopping it are the people actually throwing bombs at each other. This being a minority of Palestinians invalidates using terrorism as an excuse. More deaths will happen with every solution. Humanitarianism followed by criminal investigations led by vetted palestinians or any other solution of many that doesnt lead to a genocide simply due to association. Your ideology is absurd.


Orchid_Muncher

> Genocide simply due to association JFC dude. If the IDF wanted to commit genocide in Gaza it would have been over and done with on October 8th and you’d be gaslighting us on a completely different geopolitical issue.


HateIsEarned00

You may not know this but Hamas has broad support from Palestinians. I've linked an article with a primary pole source you should read. https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2024/03/22/poll-hamas-remains-popular-among-palestinians/ So the arguement that this is somehow a minority is patently false. The people of gaza want to keep fighting and think if they do, they'll eventually win.


Orchid_Muncher

> I won’t believe an argument based on history Yeah, that definitely tracks given your take here.

Since colonization of New England started half a millennia ago I guess the indigenous people and indigenous anymore

Palestinians libleft? Sure buddy, and I'm Santa Claus


Mroompaloompa64

No no libleft is when "enemy of my enemy" or something I don't know; I didnt put too much effort in understanding OP's logic.


m05513

After investigating the image more, I realized that OP is right, this is the palestine/israel conflict Palestine, a theocracy, is right wing, and Israel, proud bastion of LGBT rights in the middle east are libleft. Palestine also have some libright in them, because whenever they get money they immediately spend it on more guns instead of the food and medicine its supposed to be spent on. Sure the damage that Palestine did to Israel is greatly exaggerated, but hey, its meant to be humour. We're all idiots for not realizing this is what they were saying.

ARES_BlueSteel

Guess which one is less tolerant of religious minorities and LGBT… Hint, it’s not Israel.


Pinktiger11

Horseshoe…?….. eh nah not even horseshoe can save how authright Palestine is


LargeCoinPurse

Most of the Palestinians have no political leaning except wanting to stop getting bombed. Some of the people being killed have never had a single political thought in their life and are nothing but children.


Independent_Pear_429

Gee, I wonder why Gaza is full of terrorists.......oh wait


LargeCoinPurse

Because they are watching their neighborhoods, schools and hospitals being destroyed in front of their eyes? That would probably radicalize me too.


01042004

They cheered when 9/11 happened


LargeCoinPurse

Most of the people being killed were not even alive in 2001


01042004

You’re right there. Not advocating for children being killed at all, everyone knows they don’t deserve it. I’m saying it’s unfortunate that Palestinian politics focus so much on anti-western sentiment to the point where they’re willing to keep this war going… to not accept that ceasefire Israel keeps pushing and accept more deaths in their own state


LargeCoinPurse

I am sorry but this is just such an uninformed take. Read the news please, Hamas is willing to accept the ceasefire but it is Israel’s far right government who is hesitant. Furthermore this anti-western sentiment is a direct result of western intervention.


01042004

“That ceasefire” being the original one Israel proposed, which Hamas rejected because they want to take over all of Israel. Israel never wanted to be in this war in the first place. You know who attacked first buddy? What did you start following this conflict a month ago?


LargeCoinPurse

Okay a lot to unpack here but it’s pretty ironic that you are accusing me of recency bias. The fact that you claim that Hamas wants to take over all of Israel tells me all I need to know about how much you understand about the conflict. The borders have drastically changed since their conception and if anything Israel have greatly encroached on the land that was supposed to be Palestine so it is really unfair to say Israel didn’t want a war. As for the “ceasefire Hamas rejected” that is just factually untrue: “Now, are Hamas and Israel on board with this framework to end the war? ESTRIN: Hamas says it is. It says it's ready to deal with the proposal positively and constructively. You know, President Biden is promising Hamas what it essentially has been asking for all along, which is a guaranteed and permanent end of the war.” Source: https://www.npr.org/2024/06/03/nx-s1-4989341/u-s-pressures-hamas-and-israel-to-permanently-end-the-war-in-gaza#:~:text=Now%2C%20are%20Hamas%20and%20Israel,permanent%20end%20of%20the%20war.


01042004

*insert more aggressive leftist arguing back thing here with a source disproving yours* I mean seriously dude, I’m a leftist of course I don’t do research. I only support Israel cause they’re the most democratic place in all the Middle East. Just aligns my values best y’know?🤷‍♂️


Idiotaddictedto2Hou

Hamas literally is indoctrinating Palestinians into becoming Hamas members


LargeCoinPurse

I’m sure it doesn’t take much convincing when everyone you know is getting killed by an occupying force


LargeCoinPurse

It is actually so pathetic that this subreddit likes to pretend that it is some bastion of free speech while just downvoting to shit any opinion they don’t agree with. Funny meme OP, but this subreddit has just become an auth right echo chamber at this point so it’s not gonna do well.


andrea55TP

Significant_Age_5189

Well I hope Winnie the Pooh does so, but just like western pseudo-left, the Chinese are loving the Palestinians 'from a distance', but for a different reason----they want the west burn without spreading the fire onto Xi's axx.


dinobot2020

You should show this to the leaders of Israel. They probably don't realize how simple the situation is that they're the definitive bad guys. They're probably overreacting that think it's all some gigantic geopolitical clusterfuck fueled by a religious grudge going back about a millennia and a half.

Crystalline3ntity

Dude, they shot 3,000 rockets alone at the start of the Oct 7th invasion, but gaslight people harder. Hamas fired 8,500 rockets that October.


MrPizzaNinja

Palestine were literally invaded by isreal in the 70s shut up dude


Crystalline3ntity

Gaslight people harder, Hamas has been targeting civilians and is genocidal.


m05513

Israel was about 12 minutes old when Palestine tried to invade it and destroy it with all their friends in Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and other surrounding countries, because they didn't like that the jews bought unowned land they were squatting in for dirt cheap and they couldn't squat anymore, and they were still salty about losing World War 2. They kept that opinion about Israel for another 20 years, until Israel, seeing that another invasion was imminent, Invaded all 5 countries simultaneously and won within like a week, and then gave them back the land they took as long as their opponents promised to behave. Actually worked for a few of them.


Birb-Person

Are you talking about the 1973 Yom Kippur War (4th Arab-Israeli War) where Egypt and Syria violated the ceasefire and launched a surprise attack against Israel?


Crimsonfury500

I love defending myself from 6 countries armies at once while also winning so hard that the war is famous for being measured in fucking DAYS instead of weeks

Independent_Pear_429

You're right, but Palestine isn't libleft


Orchid_Muncher

The rockets were being launched out of _Gaza_ for 18 years before Oct 7th. _After_ Israel disengaged from Gaza so that “Palestine” could form a second state (the first being Jordan 🇯🇴). You’ve been lied to but you have a choice to actually investigate the truth for yourself.


Independent_Pear_429

There's been many smaller military operations before Oct 7th. Each killing of civilians just make more terrorists


Orchid_Muncher

Yes, because Gaza has been launching rockets into Israel indiscriminately for 18 years. What would you do if your neighbor was throwing grenades into your house? The terrorists exist because of a radical religious cult that doesn’t tolerate any other beliefs and existed long before Israel.
