I think you're misattributing them not doing something with them not being able to do something. I'm telling you, the anti-semetism I've heard does not stop with Israel. It's literal Jews control the world and must be eliminated rhetoric. Nazi shit. Ik what Hamas is made up of and why they exist, but that doesn't mean they don't want to kill all Jews. Hamas in particular with that, people who have been made into orphans, have had their family killed, their land stolen are the most likely to be anti-semetic especially when the people doing it to them are the ones telling them "we represent all jews". They're a group of extremists purposefully created by Israel and they're playing their part very well in Israel's genocide.

Defend Palestinians, but don't be naïve about how many of them feel towards Jews. I don't blame them for how they feel either but that doesn't make those feelings any less wrong. And it also doesn't mean Israel is right in their actions. They're the ones with all the power and they're the ones who crafted the situation they're in. They hold all the blame and should stop what they're doing regardless of the sentiment Hamas or any Palestinian holds towards them.

You don't have to ignore their anti-semetism to be right about Israel being in the wrong for committing genocide, or to be right about Palestinians having the right be free in their land. Ignoring it only makes it harder to convince and talk to people who know about it.

A significant portion of Palestinians want to be rid of jews. I can't tell you how many times I've heard extraordinarily anti-semetic things from my family that escaped Palestine. And if that's the case think about how the people who still live there feel. At the very least I was able to convince my dad that his problem was with the state of Israel and not Jewish people (all the Jews who spoke out were a big help in that), but for my family that lives a half a world a way that's not something I can reasonably do.

To be clear fuck Israel and Palestinians should be free from their oppressors. But both of them want ethnic cleansing it's just that only Israel has the power to do it (it also doesn't help that Israel killed/black bagged all the major speakers/organizers who weren't extremists throughout the 70s-90s)

Also from the river to the sea is not inherently anti-semetic

If you mess with frame data you get desync and it's very easy to tell when that happens. Messing with anything other than models/textures will desync the game unless you're talking about offline. But even then pretty much every mod you download is made to be used online so people would notice by the time it makes it to an offline

This sounds like you're defending ethnic deportation. It doesn't matter which passport the Jews held. They were expelled.

I'm only pointing out that the deportation had nothing to do with their Jewish heritage.

I am clearly and specifically talking about the Jews, not the Muslims or Christians.

And I'm clearly and specifically pointing out that it had nothing to do with them being Jewish so it is very different from what was done to the Palestinians which was targeted at them.

But they were not given their land and houses back. They were displaced

Just like the Palestinians were displaced in the late 1800s by the Ottoman empire selling the land they lived on to Jewish people.

The Palestinians have never been wholesale deported, only displaced within the same nation.

Half the Palestinians living there were forced to flee their homes in 1948. I'm clearly not arguing with someone who lives in reality as evidenced by this line

just like some Palestinians in 1948.

If by some you mean 700k compared to the 10k total displaced in 1917 (of which only 1/3 were Jewish) the sure I guess more than 70 times can be considered some, but at that point words mean nothing and there is no point in continuing this discussion.

The 1914 deportations were of Russian Jewish people. If any Russians claim they have rights to the land then sure, I'll buy that, but I don't care for one's religion and I don't believe the Jewish people who were brought to Palestine in the 40s were of Russian descent.

Only 1/3 of the population that was deported in 1917 were Jewish. The rest were Muslims and Christians and had nothing to do with religion. Under British rule all the people deported in 1917 were allowed to return. So they got their claim when they were allowed to return, it really is unfortunate how many died due to the conditions they were sent into, and I'm not defending the actions of any State.

Russians being deported and people who were allowed to return makes those claims barely anything compared to the Palestinians who were ousted multiple times in the last 100 years and not allowed to return, with the ones remaining living in apartheid.

How much further back is a "little further"? My grandmother was one of the people who fled in 1948. The place her grandparents also lived. You're talking about what 300 years ago? 400? More? Forgive me if I care very little about a claim to a land that is older than Shakespeare.

I don't care about a "historical claim" I care about the people who were living in the land and were forcebly ousted in a time frame where the people who were originally ousted are still alive.

Also they were not "nomads" you fuckin racist. My great grandparents had land, a home, a community that were all taken from them.

The Jewish people who were brought to Palestine in the 40s were not being exterminated by the Palestinians. The Jewish people illegally collected guns while they were there and forced the Palestinians out of their homes and their country.
