    Why don’t you name disruptions of peace pre Oct 7 instead of calling me names?

    Zionism is the belief that Jews should have a self governing state in the Levant.

    By “self-governing” you mean an ethnostate. Jews don’t get to have specific rights because of their religious affiliation.

      Yeah an ethno state since they are uniquely scapegoated over and over by conspiracy theorists who kill.

      Regardless of whether they “should” have one, they do now and realistically they ain’t going anywhere.

      Am sure that much of the Australian indigenous community would like their entire country back but they know it is unrealistic so even if they were funded by Qatar or Iran they would not attempt to reverse it in total.

      There is still a long way to go for equity in Australia.

        So? They’re palestinians. You think they don’t have family members living on the other side?

          Reminding you of the topic of this thread, where I started off with:

          Gaza had peace before Oct 7, although heavily policed border control because of suicide bombers coming out and rocket parts going in.
