    Most accounts of early use meaning freedom for Palestine not just from Israel, but from Jordan and Egypt as well. The one group that used it in a mostly genocidal undertone was the PLO in the 1960’s who believed it meant returning the whole region to Palestinian rule, and ‘removing’ all people that immigrated in the last hundred years.

    This you? Please enlighten me on how returning back to a pre-colonial state is genocidal.

    “Please mr. kkhamas let us genocide in peace, why are you resisting? 😭”

      There is a difference between ending colonialism and removing people from land. I find it absolutely crazy that people that have no issue with immigration anywhere else in the world think it is suddenly bad there. The issue isn’t with Jews simply existing in the middle east, its with Israel’s colonialism and genocide of Palestine. Isreal can stop existing without the genocide of the Jewish people. Removing all Jews is evil, just as removing all Palestinians is evil, they are both genocide.

      The issue is one of power, colonialism, and Israel’s genocide. Those can change without causing another genocide.
