Did you not even bother to read the paragraphs I quoted? You have no clue what you're talking about

But in an astonishing recent Ha’aretz interview, after summarizing his new research, Morris proceeds to argue for the necessity of ethnic cleansing in 1948. He faults David Ben-Gurion for failing to expel all Arab Israelis, and hints that it may be necessary to finish the job in the future. Though he calls himself a left-wing Zionist, he invokes and praises the fascist Vladimir Jabotinsky in calling for an “iron wall” solution to the current crisis. Referring to Sharon’s Security Wall, he says, “Something like a cage has to be built for them. I know that sounds terrible. It is really cruel. But there is no choice. There is a wild animal there that has to be locked up in one way or another.” He calls the conflict between Israelis and Arabs a struggle between civilization and barbarism, and suggests an analogy frequently drawn by Palestinians, though from the other side of the Winchester: “Even the great American democracy could not have been created without the annihilation of the Indians.”

honestly don't see this in all that stuff you copy pasted

you conflate zionist with the mania of this last war, zionist used to just mean jews that want their own country

morris acknowledges the bad that was done in the war that led to the naqba, but saw it as the only option where the palestinians would never settle for peace and hadn't done for 20 years

No it doesn't, as discussed at length in the first section you didn't read twice. You have no clue what you're talking about. It's not a copypasta if I'm the one who read all the sources I sourced and provided relevant paragraphs and links all of which I've personally read, genius.

[–] jimmy90@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

what is discussed at length? palestinians not making peace?

[–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe read it before you try to argue stuff that's already within the damn reply

No, Zionism has always been about the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians since it's inception. Partition was a deliberate tactic to set the stage for plan dalet which was also planned. You keep repeating these myths. Section 2, Partition, shows how the Nakba was not "the only option" it was intentional. I provided multiple books that go into depth exactly how these myths are untrue and don't reflect the reality of the history.

when the ottoman empire was defeated both the arabs and the jews suddenly realised they had a chance of their own state

the arabs started attacking the british and the jews and the jews started attacking the british and the arabs

finally the british left and it was the arabs vs the jews

the arabs lost, big time, and kept losing for the next 80 years

i'm sure i can find a couple of books that say that as well

[–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sure, books written by Zionists who see Palestinians as subhuman. Good for you. Enjoy justifying ethnic cleansing and genocide. You clearly have no interest in human rights or the reality of Israel Palestine.

[–] jimmy90@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

quite the opposite; there's lots of non-genocidal zionists that wish october 7th had never happened and the war had never happened and wish the settlers in the west bank were in jail

but they are also sick and tired of the palestinian militant zealots pretending they and the surrounding arab states are just the victims for 100 years

for peace to happen both sides need to dig deep into reality

[–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, there isn't. All zionists support the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. If they didn't, they would be anti-zionists. Of which there are a few hundred of within Israel. If they genuinely wanted peace and an end to the anti-apartheid resistance, they would end the fucking apartheid.

[–] jimmy90@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

a few hundred, lol, that's very accurate!

neither side genuinely wants peace, they're still at war, there are still hostages

[–] Gensidersposdie@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The hostages are under the rubles with the rest, idiot. Do you not get what carpet bombing mean

[–] jimmy90@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

now that's a freudian slip if ever there was one. you mean rubble of course

[–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hamas proposed a full prisoner swap as early as Oct 8th, and agreed to the US proposed UN Permanent Ceasefire Resolution. Additionally, Hamas has already agreed to no longer govern the Gaza Strip, as long as Palestinians receive liberation and a unified government can take place.

Israel has never had interest in peace, you fail to comprehend that.

they better update that charter again to catch up with whatever they made up this week

i'm guessing you want the struggle to carry on because daddy putin needs it to use antisemitism to his advantage around the world

[–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Fuck Putin and fuck you. I don't support any fascist.

[–] jimmy90@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I wonder if you ever uttered something truthful or honest once in your life

Israel and the Soviet Union, Russia's predecessor state, were on opposing sides during the Cold War. However, the relationship between Israel and Russia has improved significantly since the early 2000s, with the election of the more pro-Israel Russian leader Vladimir Putin, and the election of the more pro-Russia Israeli leader Ariel Sharon.[1] Putin has had a close relationship with long-serving Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.[2]

Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, relations took a downturn during Yair Lapid's tenure as Prime Minister of Israel.[3][4] Relations improved after Netanyahu's return as Prime Minister, although cooler than they were before the invasion.[5] Unlike many Western countries, Israel has maintained relations with the Kremlin, refused to impose sanctions against Russia, and rejected calls to send defensive weaponry to Ukraine.[6]
