Life as a genocidal settler-colony can be hard. You just want to quietly go about your day, exterminating the natives to fulfil your Biblical prophecy of Disney Land Gaza, but you keep running into problems like "international law" and "public opinion".

Israel was close to clearing the skeletal population out of Gaza when they heard something truly terrifying is on its way. No, not the asteroid at the edge of the solar system that may or may not be an earthbound alien mothership! I'm talking about something much scarier: international wanted terrorist Greta Thunberg and her second-in-command Liam Cunningham, a fearsome warrior who was forged in the fires of Westeros. The pair are travelling aboard a flotilla of... humanitarian aid ships.

As you can imagine, the 4"10 autistic girl and her loyal assistant strike fear into the heart of every IDF soldier. The situation could only be scarier if Ms Rachel was aboard one of those vessels, but that doesn't bear thinking about. Israeli drone operatives are in a difficult position: if they do what they want to the Freedom Flotilla, they could find themselves charged with "war crimes", and if they allow the boats to get through, it will set the precedent that Palestinians eat. As you can imagine, Israeli strategists are in panic mode, trying to figure out the best way forward.

there was lots of intermixing in the Jewish diaspora, but genetic tests still show that Palestinians and Jews are related.

I know there was, but it's always been a ridiculous myth that the people who can trace their ancestry to the same country 50 generations back have less claim to it than some mfs because "their ancestors" were expelled. No they fucking weren't, some moved, and a ton of the ancestors of these euros were just converts, just as Palestinian muslims were converts (and some remained jewish, only to not count as a true jews for these fucking settlers).

To quote an anti semetic leader my country once had

„ I decide who is and isn’t a Jew“ Seems to be Israel’s modus operandi

using that logic we are all entitled to real estate in Africa.

just saying that there's a bit of poetic tragedy, where the Israelites who left thousands of years ago, with strong intermixing, are now killing the ones who stayed.
