He asks an American regurgitating this how he'd feel if a religious group seized his state and displaced him based on the same premise, since America already has another 49 states. By flipping the script, he exposes the bad faith behind the argument used to justify displacement of Palestinians from their ancestral homes.

Israel Claims Genocide would be Moral and Just excitedsynapses 2024-08-09 | "No one in the world would let us starve to death 2 million Gazans, even though it may be just and moral..."- Bezalel Smotrich, Israeli Finance Minister and Netanyahu cabinet officialThis comes on the heel of throngs of Israeli mobs rioting at army bases to demand the release of soldiers who raped Palestinian prisoners. When asked if it was ok to rape Palestinian prisoners Israeli minister Hanoch Milwidsky said, "yes! ...everything is legitimate to do! Everything!"aljazeera.com/news/2024/8/9/everything-is-legitimate-israeli-leaders-defend-soldiers-accused-of-rapecbsnews.com/news/israel-hamas-war-idf-palestinian-prisoner-alleged-rape-sde-teinman-abuse-protestmiddleeasteye.net/news/raped-female-soldiers-palestinian-leaked-sde-teiman-photo-speaks-outMass starvation, genocide of civilians, rape of prisoners. In today's Israel, everything is acceptable. The Israeli government openly admits it would starve 2 million Gazans to death but "the international community won't let them." On one hand employing a "hasbara campaign" to convince global powers that it respects human rights. The clip includes a statement from Ghassan Kanafani, a Palestinian poet, writer, and PFLP figure who was assassinated by Israel in the 1970's. This is educational to show that Palestinians are not going away, the death toll mounts, the shame on the international community (particularly the United States for arming Israel to the teeth) continues, but the Palestinian struggle for human rights and dignity that most people in the world take for granted, is a long-term struggle that cannot be defeated.

IDF Films Torture of Palestinians excitedsynapses 2011-12-11 | Over 6,000 Palestinians have been imprisoned in Israeli jails. The use of torture has been well-documented as a method by which Israeli interrogators extract 'confessions'. Its use has been upheld by Israeli governments and no soldier has been prosecuted for employing torture techniques. Extrajudicial killings are common and yet even when video evidence is available these are rarely ever prosecuted. Between 2000 and 2013 a total of 179 investigations have led to only 16 convictions. In a recent high-profile case IDF soldier Elor Azaria served only 9 months for murdering an injured Palestinian on video. That an Israeli solider was prosecuted was so rare that it led to condemnation of the courts by the Netanyahu government and widespread protests in Israel.To put this into context 16 year-old Palestinian girl Ahed Tamimi served 8 months in Israeli jail for slapping an Israeli soldier.

Israeli Historian Describes Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine in 1948 (Nakba) excitedsynapses 2011-05-14 | "It was suggested to them that so few years after the Holocaust it wasn't a good idea to portray the Jews as murderers, expellers, looters, occupiers, and colonizers. This was a conscious decision by the political elites of the West to atone for what Europe did to the Jews in the Second World War. The price was very clear, the dispossession of Palestine."- Dr. Ilan PappéFormer Israeli parliament (knesset) speaker Avraham Burg describes Israeli "cynical exploitation" of holocaust to subjugate Palestinians:youtube.com/watch?v=ml-3eK64lMoIsraeli minister and Netanyahu cabinet official Bezalel Smotrich advocates genocide of Palestinians:youtube.com/watch?v=Z4u2BfNmGyUDr. Ilan Pappé is an Israeli historian who was a senior lecturer at Haifa University from 1984-2007. His position as an Israeli academic gave him access to official Israeli historical archives. Through research this Israeli-born academic learned the truth about the Israeli narrative. This clip of a lecture he gave in the US clarifies what happened on 1948, a day we commemorate tomorrow May 15th as Yawm An-Nakba or "Day of the Catastrophe."
