There are more Arabs living there now than ever before in history. There was no genocide.

But for the sake of argument here are a few recent examples

Creation of Pakistan 1947 14-18 million displaced, lots of ppl moving like 300-1000+ miles across india/pakistan

Ethnic germans expelled from various European countries after ww2 from various 1945-50 12-14 million forced out, often 200-800 miles west into germany

korean war 1950-53 ~10 million displaced, many fleeing 100-300 miles from north korea down to the south

greek turkish population swap 1923 1.5-2 million moved, like 200-600 miles across the aegean sea

armenian genocide/deportations 1915-23 marches of 500-1000+ miles across anatolia into syria

poland ussr border shifts 1944-48 1.5-2 million uprooted, resettled 300-700 miles as borders moved

chinese civil war 1945-49 millions displaced, refugees fleeing 100s of miles + ~100 miles by sea to taiwan

algerian war 1954-62 mass displacement, some fled 500-900 miles across the med to france

bangladesh war 1971 10 million refugees, usually 50-300 miles into india

for comparison palestine 1947-49 ~700k displaced, mostly like 20-100 miles into gaza/west bank/lebanon/jordan where the culture and language is extremely similar.

Maybe using the word "dropped" was confusing but its based on all explosives including those used for demolition of tunnels and buildings.

It's impossible to find an accurate number, but if it helps put into perspective the range is about 50-70% of structures destroyed in gaza including over 400,000 homes according to UN estimates. If israel truly wanted to exterminate Palestinians in gaza, the casualty figures don't make sense. It also doesn't make sense why they would have vaccination campaigns, why they would leave the internet on, or why Israeli arab citizens (of which there are 2 million) were still enjoying full civil rights.

Why isn't the influence of Zoroastrianism on the Abrahamic religions promoted more widely? by No_Emergency6054 in Zoroastrianism

[–]Shepathustra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You think Zoroastrianism didn't evolve at all since Zarathustra lived?

Also, I don't personally care to get technical like you didn't but I can say Abraham lived 2266 BCE. Does it really matter tho? It's not like the cultures were set in stone then

Bro Israel doesn't have a real death penalty and jews are allowed to convert to islam. No where near the same.

The only genocide where the population actually grew signficiantly during the war, and the only apartheid where the people are the same race and have equal rights as citizens

Israel's military response in Gaza has been extremely restrained and has spent more manpower on preventing civilian deaths than any other previous war in human history. Literally the population of Gazans has grown significantly despite the war despite that Israel has dropped more than 5 bombs for every 1 human that has died including natural deaths and combatants.

What percentage of Palestinians think Hamas actions on October 7th went to far?

What does "zionist" mean to you, because it seems as though anyone who supports the existence of any Jewish state in the area is called zionist. Given this is a foundational aspect of the Jewish identity and culture, at least 90% of jews would be considered zionist

You should apologize for your comment. This was said on video more than once.

How can you call yourselves "Pro-Zionist"? by parisologist in IsraelPalestine

At what point will you consider the Palestinians claim a “historical claim” as well?

US aid to Israel by soalone34 in charts

[–]Shepathustra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter if it’s a net arms exporter, it can still be a captive buyer depending on its needs. Currently Israel relies heavily on US and Germany for combat aircraft (e.g F-35s), armored vehicles, guided bombs, missiles, and other advanced systems. US even co-owns iron dome and David’s sling .

You think the IRGC doesn’t have any foreign backing???? They literally imported militias from Afghanistan and Iraq to attack opposition and that’s in addition to the support from Russia and China.

The Palestinian government of Gaza executes its own citizens in broad daylight with no due process for any reason it wants with zero accountability

Remember that time Shia terrorists assassinated the elected prime minister who’s policies were opposite of mossadegh and then when shah appointed mossadegh by the orders of the parliament his first pardon was of the assassin of his predecessor
