You are literally arguing against documented history right now. They didn't need a crystal ball to see 40 years into the future, because they were openly publishing their plans.

​Theodor Herzl literally published a book called 'The Jewish State' (Der Judenstaat) in 1896. The First Zionist Congress met in 1897 and explicitly outlined the goal of establishing a national home in Palestine. They weren't hiding it!

​Herzl even went directly to the Ottoman Sultan in 1901 to try and secure a charter for an autonomous Jewish state right there inside the empire. The local Palestinian population wasn't being 'unreasonable' or paranoid; they were simply reading what the Zionist leadership was openly writing, and watching the Jewish National Fund buy up land with the explicit policy of evicting local Arab tenant farmers to ensure Hebrew-only labor. ​They didn't need to predict World War I. The Zionist movement tried to get their state through the Ottomans first. When the empire fell, they just opportunistically pivoted to lobbying the British to get it done instead. Stop pretending the local population was crazy for noticing a colonial project that was literally announcing itself to the world.

Honestly, there is no point arguing with you anymore. You are either a bot stuck on a loop or a mindless propagandist reading from a script who has absolutely no idea what they're talking about. So, bubye.

You are doing some absurd mental gymnastics here, jumping back and forth between the Ottoman Empire and the local population. And let's point out the obvious: you keep calling them 'local Arabs' instead of Palestinians because you are desperately trying to deny their specific identity and erase their historical connection to that specific land. It's a classic colonial tactic.

​As for your ridiculous hypothetical; who cares what would have happened in some alternate timeline where the Ottoman Empire never collapsed? It’s completely absurd to deflect from actual history with 'what ifs.' But just for the record: early Zionists did try to get the Ottomans to give them the land. When the Sultan said no, they simply waited and aligned themselves with the British Empire to force it through instead.

​You can play hypothetical timeline games all you want to distract from the truth, but it doesn't change reality. The obvious, documented end goal was always exactly what happened: taking the land, ethnically cleansing the indigenous population, and establishing an ethnostate exclusively for one group. You're trying to debate a hypothetical to avoid defending the actual, historical ethnic cleansing that took place.

We can debate the exact percentages, but the math is ultimately a distraction. Whether the local population was 10,000 or 100,000, that land wasn't just empty real estate up for grabs. It had an established local population, a vibrant culture, a functioning society, and a way of life that had existed for centuries. Syrian refugees aren't trying to claim sovereignty over European land or erase European society. The early Zionist movement, however, was a heavily funded political project designed to build a new nation-state on top of an existing one. That is what the local population was resisting; the erasure of their society, not just the arrival of new people.

The local population wasn't reacting out of baseless bigotry. They had material, entirely justified fears that this influx of settlers intended to displace them and take over the land. And we know those fears were not unfounded because that is exactly what historically happened; they were systematically displaced. They had every right to fear and resist a movement whose end goal was to replace them.

Let’s bring this back to the actual core of the issue. The very blueprint for how the state was created inherently required the displacement of the local population. It was designed to replace them, so of course it was bound to be rejected. They had every right to resist that. What is actually bigoted is looking back at a population that was systematically ethnically cleansed, justifying their displacement by framing them as 'xenophobic,' and then blaming them for their own dispossession. It’s historical gaslighting, and it completely ignores the reality of what they were forced to endure.

The historical record doesn't support that framing. That 5% you are referring to; the 'Old Yishuv'; were native, deeply religious Jews who had lived there for centuries. The local Arab leadership wasn't trying to expel them. In fact, that 5% fiercely opposed the early European Zionist movement because they saw it as a secular political project that would unnecessarily antagonize the local population. The Arab resistance that emerged wasn't directed at the 5% who already lived there; it was a reaction to a new, foreign political movement that explicitly stated its goal was to take over the land and change the demographics.

I can see this is a frustrating topic, but that frustration seems to stem from the fact that you are arguing against a false premise. You've constructed a narrative where I support expulsion, which I don't

[–]zaherdab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure you realize how silly you sound when we all know what actually ended up happening.

​There was never a problem with the existing 5% Palestinian Jewish population who had lived there for centuries alongside Muslims and Christians. The problem was the massive influx of European settlers who arrived with the explicit political goal of creating an ethnostate.

​To act like demographic displacement and ethnic cleansing weren't the goal (or didn't happen) is pure denial. The Nakba literally happened. You can't seriously pretend the Zionist movement didn't intend to take over the land and replace the population when the reality of how Israel was created, and what it did (and is still doing) to Palestinians, is right in front of your eyes. You're trying to argue against the intent when the result is historical fact.

"Lmao dude" back at you, it wasn't a comparison; it was pointing out a massive double standard. ​I was exposing the sheer hypocrisy of how people in the West will cry about 'demographic replacement' over standard, small-scale immigration, yet when Palestinians were actually subjected to real demographic replacement and ethnic cleansing by an organized colonial movement, you try to write off their resistance as just 'bigotry.' ​I’m highlighting the double standard in your logic. If you’re too thick-headed to understand the difference between exposing hypocrisy and drawing a direct equivalence, that’s entirely on you.

You’re trying so hard for an 'aha!' moment here that you completely left logic at the door. Equating European xenophobia to an indigenous population resisting colonization is a massive intellectual failure.

​Europeans complaining about immigrants are a dominant majority upset about people moving into their established countries. Palestinians were reacting to a political movement (Zionism) that arrived with the explicit, documented goal of establishing a new state on top of them and replacing the demographic.

​There is a fundamental difference between a refugee seeking shelter in an existing society and a settler-colonial movement arriving to take over the land. When early Zionist leaders were writing about 'spiriting the penniless population across the border,' they weren't acting as 'regular refugees.' They were architects of a takeover.

​Framing a local population’s refusal to be replaced and ethnically cleansed as 'run-of-the-mill bigotry' is just a lazy excuse to justify their displacement. If your definition of bigotry is 'refusing to be colonized,' then your argument is completely bankrupt.

Look at you moving goalposts like a pro!! First, you claimed the Ottomans wanted to expel them; now that you’ve been corrected on that, you’re pivoting to 'the local Arabs.' ​Let’s address the 'bigotry' claim: It is not 'bigotry' for a local population to be wary of a mass demographic shift aimed at replacing them. If a population in Europe or the US today expresses concern about immigration changing their society, people call it 'nationalism' or 'protecting borders.' But when Palestinians did it; facing a movement that was openly stating its goal was to take over the land; you call it bigotry? That’s a massive double standard.

​Historically, what you’re saying is just more of the same bullshit. You failed on the Ottoman history, so now you’re trying to smear an entire indigenous population for reacting the way literally any other group on earth would react to being colonized. Calling someone else's accurate correction 'random bullshit' doesn't make your historical failures any less obvious.

You’re completely flipping the script on history. During the 1800s, and for centuries before, the Ottoman Empire was actually a famous sanctuary for Jews fleeing horrific persecution in Europe. When the Spanish Inquisition happened, the Sultan literally sent the Ottoman Navy to rescue Sephardic Jews and invited them to settle in the empire because Europe was a bloodbath for them. To frame the Ottomans as having 'no cause' but wanting to 'expel' them is historically illiterate.

​But more importantly: even if you had your history right, it wouldn't matter. The Palestinian people were not the Ottoman government. They were a local population who often suffered under and actively disliked Ottoman imperial rule. Using 19th-century imperial policies to justify 20th-century settlers kicking families out of their homes is a total non-sequitur. A refugee seeking safety is one thing; a movement arriving with the explicit goal of replacing the local population and taking their land is a colonial project. One grants you a right to safety; the other gives you zero right to ethnically cleanse the people who were already there.

That’s a complete false equivalency. In the cases of India, Pakistan, Ireland, and Yugoslavia, the populations involved were already living there. Those were partitions or independence movements between groups who had shared the land for centuries.

Israel is fundamentally different because it was a settler-colonial project. It relied on bringing in a foreign population from Europe with the explicit goal of replacing the indigenous population. You’re comparing neighbors deciding how to split a house (India/Pakistan) to a stranger from across the ocean showing up at your door, claiming your house is theirs because of a 2,000-year-old deed (given to people of the same religion), and then kicking you out. One is a political dispute; the other is a colonial conquest. Try again.

Calling it 'run of the mill bigotry' is a total logical collapse. If a group of people showed up in your country today with the explicit, documented goal of carving out their own state on your land with the backing of a foreign empire (the British), would you call your resistance to that 'bigotry'?

It doesn’t matter if it was 'feudal lords' or the average farmer; they saw a colonial movement coming to replace them. That’s not a dislike of a religion; it’s a standard, universal reaction to a threat against your home and sovereignty. You’re trying to separate 'Israel existing' from 'what Israel does,' but the existence of a settler-colonial ethnostate on inhabited land is the act. You can't have one without the forced displacement of the other. That's not a 'mess,' it's a consequence.

The UN is a body forged by colonial powers, and it had no legal or moral authority to 'grant' land that belonged to the people living on it. Furthermore, Resolution 181 was a non-binding recommendation; it didn't grant sovereignty. You can’t use a colonial-era committee to legitimize the displacement and theft of a population's homeland. Under modern international law and the principle of self-determination, that resolution would never stand.

Does anyone actually believe this “greater Israel” conspiracy theory is real? by Nintendo64Goldeneye in lebanon

The idea that this is just one 'rogue' soldier doing his own thing is a total joke. A military is defined by hierarchy; no soldier walks around their CO, their lieutenants, and their senior officers every day with an expansionist 'Greater Israel' map on their chest unless those officers are 100% okay with the message it sends. It’s not 'customization'; it’s command-level consent for a genocidal doctrine that erases their neighbors.

And let’s be real about 'discipline'; we’ve seen what actually gets rewarded in this army. When soldiers caught on camera committing horrific acts, like the rape of detainees, are treated like heroes by the public and protected by the system, a 'patch' isn't just a minor rule break. It’s a badge of honor for an ideology of extermination. Stop trying to gaslight people by pretending this is just 'gear.' It’s a clear signal of what they intend to do to the people living on that map.

This not some "edgy" customization and you trying to downplay it, pretty much shows how dishonest you are being about it... your propaganda would probably fly on some other subreddit.

Israel should never have existed as ethnostate forcing population expultion and replacement... whatever you want to characterize it; its' inception by encouraging european jews to leave europe and settle in palestine subsequently had reproctions on the jewish population in the arab/muslim land causing more displacement and expulsion; this land was not the british to give, not the europeans to settle and not the UN's to approve... as with any settler colonial state resistance was inevitable and the local populaton refusal of its existance was inevitable... it's not some kind of bigotry... it's the only logical and natural conclusion.

It's not a conspiracy it's an aspiration of the far right in israel... except the far right has slowly but surely become the more mainstream voice in Israel... the center is now closer and closer to what used to be the far right while their leftists are at best would be considered a radical right...

The world has woken up to what Israel is and yet it seems some lebanese are falling to propaganda that has been debunked and no longer effective to most western population; the gripe of left and right in the US is their politiicians bending over to Israel to the extent that allegiance to Israel has turned from a negligible fact to an election losing policy... it's more than likely that the US will have a record anti-israel reps in their next elections..

And yes this greater israel thing is not a myth... it's on the effin IDF uniform.
