    From the river to the sea!

    “From the river to the sea!” is a slogan used by both Israelis and Palestinians in support of ethnonationalist aims at exterminating the other from the Levant.

        Someone hasn’t been paying attention to the demands of Palestinian nationalists. Or, for that matter, the bootlicking support of some Western leftists for the ethnic cleansing of the ‘settler’ population of Israel (used explicitly in reference to all of Israel, not the illegal settlements in the West Bank)

          Every Palestinian is a nationalist I guess. And good thing I’m not a leftist, I’m Marxist. Leftist is such a vague term as to be meaningless. Get off twitter dipshit.

            … nationalism is currently very popular in Palestine, yes.

            And good thing I’m not a leftist, I’m Marxist.

            “I’m not a dog, I’m a pug!”

            Leftist is such a vague term as to be meaningless.

            Uh-huh.

            Get off twitter dipshit.

            Don’t have twitter. Never have.

                If your suggestion was “We should ethnically cleanse the US of everyone except pureblooded Native Americans”, yes, I would call you genocidal, the fuck kind of question is that

                  That’s not the argument in either of these cases. We should not purge Jews from Palestine, but we should destroy and dismantle the state of Israel. Jews have lived there peacefully with Muslims for hundreds of years until the west stole land from the Palestinians to give create Israel and watched as the Israeli government committed part one of their genocide decades ago. Now the state of Israel is finishing the job.

                    Okay, well, short of waving a magic wand, dissolving the state of Israel isn’t going to end with everyone joining hands and singing kumbaya.

                    Oh, the West stole the land from the Palestinians, did we? Jesus Christ. I don’t even know where to begin.

        You… think I’m a Zionist because I don’t support ethnic cleansing of Israelis or Palestinians?

        Sorry that I think genocide is bad in all circumstances?

            It absolutely is about genocide, in the mouths of Israelis and Palestinians alike.

            Okay, before we continue this discussion - would the ethnic cleansing of every or nearly every Israeli from the territory of modern-day Israel be genocide - yes or no?
