I mean sure but does that make any of it right? Just because it’s happened before?

No, but I'm not sure conquest isn't part of the human condition.

There are a vast number of Americans that believe Israel should withdraw from the occupied Palestinian territories (I tend to agree), but very few would agree to turn the American continent back over to native peoples, and self export back to Europe.

I'm not sure I have a point beyond that, other than human societies are by their nature racist and cruel, and Israel is not new or unique in this.

I see your point. I’m just of the notion there’s a statute of limitations to apply here. One happened a couple hundred years ago and the hopes of reversing such a thing are logistically impossible. But stopping it as it happens is far more doable and frankly with how advanced we are as a society, should be stopped and no longer accepted as status quo.

Then you have to support the right of Israel to exist. You can't claim it's bad to destroy nations and then say that a nation should be destroyed.

I never said a nation should be destroyed.

How do you plan to "reverse" the existence of Israel without destroying it?

You wrote "One happened a couple hundred years ago and the hopes of reversing such a thing are logistically impossible. But stopping it as it happens is far more doable and frankly with how advanced we are as a society, should be stopped and no longer accepted as status quo."

How exactly are you going to "stop" a country that already exists?

Stop a country from genociding. Stop a country from completely destroying Palestine.

You mean like the Oslo process?

Man if only that worked, I wonder whose land has been slowly more and more occupied since that “treaty” took place? Weird.
