Let me expand the timeline for you slightly:

  • 1948: Israel expels 700,000 Palestinians from their homeland, with the aid of the British empire.

  • 1948-Oct 6th: Israel continues to exist as an apartheid state.

  • Oct 7th: Hamas terror attack, killing 1200 people. Israel continues to exist as an apartheid state.

  • Oct 8th-now: Israel kills 17000+ Palestinians. Israel continues to exist as an apartheid state.

You shouldn't have expected better from @[email protected] and I shouldn't have answered their dumb question either... I should have stopped for a moment and said to myself, "why would anyone ask this question unless to make a hideous point?"

It's got the same undertone as the "What would you do if 1200 of your people were butchered?" question. Not whatever you're doing, that's for sure!
