President Joe Biden was asked by a reporter in Israel on Wednesday what made him confident that the Israelis weren't behind the explosion that killed hundreds at a Gaza hospital on Tuesday.

Biden responded that it was "the data I was shown by my Defense Department."

Two U.S. officials told ABC News the Pentagon independently concluded the Gaza hospital blast was likely caused by an errant Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket that fell short of its target.

Palestine as a country has never existed and Jews have as much of a historical claim to the regions as Palestinians do.

So for you, a millennia of history, distinct cultures, and dialect are meaningless. People who migrated and forcibly colonized in 1948, with no connection to the region or land have as much of a claim to it as an ethnicity who has lived there for centuries.

So if that's your argument do you just believe that israel has the right to go on a conquest and slaughter palestine? Genuine question.

Have you never heard of middle eastern Jews? Genuine question

[-] freepalestine@monyet.cc 3 points 11 months ago

of course, I even said there were Jews that lived in palestine before annexation. one is a ethnicity and the other is a religion, so I'm not sure how that's relevant.

even if i follow your train of thought, jewish palestinians existed so they have the right to create an ethnostate?

Because both Palestinians and Jews existed in Canaan. Both have equal claim to territory, which is why a two state solution is the only solution.
