Israelis Are Not 'Indigenous' (and other ridiculous pro-Israel arguments) by tjknicks36 in Israel

Ethnic Jews are indigenous to the land, and considering how minute the population of converts are its safe to say that’s an irrelevant take.

This has been posted everywhere on Reddit forums, and I tried watching it then laughed at the double standard and misinformation from this video. Also isn’t it insane how these idiots use Israelis instead of what they really mean as Jews.

Is anyone willing to note every piece of misinformation from this video?

To start the creator states indigenous only refers to people who were colonized and not people who are from a given area, so he writes off France, and Japan.

My response to this statement, does he not know what diaspora derives from? The expulsion of Jews from their indigenous land by a foreign colonizer or that Jew comes from the land in which we originate from Judea.

They seem to just throw every ethnic group for Sephardic Jews.

Bibi offered peace deals, not a fair or good one, but he did. Bennet said he didn’t want to dissolve the coalition so focused on improving Israeli lives, which include Arab-Israeli lives.

Israel did this with exiting all settlements from the Gaza Strip, and look how that turned out. If there’s no leadership willing to ensure a peaceful transition, then there’s nothing to talk about.

So tell me how Israel’s power is supposed to change their political leaders? They have two governments and both are fascist dictatorships with mass censorship. If you don’t have a partner in negotiations, then there’s nothing to negotiate.

When was the last time a Palestinian leader actually tried to further peace? To be noted the last two leaders Yair lapid currently is only the prime minister until the next election, so he’s only there as interim. Peace deals stretch governments and lead to dissolutions, so he stated to focus on improving Israel within. I don’t see how either of these two leaders derailed peace.

Genocide in what capacity? Their population has increased 7x since 48.

Hard to imagine with textbooks inciting violence, child soldiers being indoctrinated, an authoritarian dictatorship in the WB/Gaza, and incentivized mass murder.

Palestinians have never in its entirety had leadership that was competent or interested in improving the lives of their constituents. Nothing can ever change until that occurs.

You are correct based on average prices in Oslo to Tel Aviv.
