Say what you really mean?! Do you even know what a Zionist is? Keep supporting terrorism… See how it works out for you.

I'm opposing terrorists dipshit, terror is literally the agenda for current Gaza operations. A zionist is a judeosupremacist intent on ethnically cleansing Palestine. I know more about them than you, ziotrash

Ethnically cleanse Palestine?! You realize the Jews have been wiped out of every other country in the Middle East while millions of non violent Arabs live in peace with full rights in Israel. It’s a democracy. Why does every Palestinian supporter turn to name calling when their argument falls apart? Hamas is a terrorist organization and think Israel is the bad guy ain’t it…

That's not the Palestinians problem.

while millions of non violent Arabs live in peace with full rights in Israel

A manageable minority with the full rights of a black person in the rural American south in the 70s. Israel even has it on paper that Israel is the nationstate only for Jews.

It’s a democracy.

Tell that to the millions living in the Westbank under Israeli military kaw, still somehow being denied building permits by Israel in their own land.

Why does every Palestinian supporter turn to name calling when their argument falls apart?

It only seems like name calling because the realities of what Israel is doing is that heinous.

Hamas is a terrorist organization and think Israel is the bad guy ain’t it…

First off, every Arab in Israel has the exact same rights as Jews. Clearly you’ve never been there. I would happily tell everyone in the West Bank about Israel but as a Jew, if I went there I’d get killed.

Let me ask you this. Do you support October 7? If you had a close relative kidnapped by terrorists, what would you want your government to do?

You fail to recognize that the Palestinians have to sleep in the bed they made. They elected Hamas who took every dollar of aid for tunnels and weaponry. Hamas and the PLO have created the world the Palestinians live in, not Israel. They’ve been offered a nation and land time and time again. This isn’t about land.
