    You're being intentionally obtuse. Good luck with that

      Looking at the responses in this thread, I'm pretty sure I don't know enough to comment on the situation. Seems like you would have to study this subject semi-exclusively in order to have an informed take.

        Well wasn't the excuse that the Jews had that land originally then over the history of time there were land disputes. I forget the whole history of it but that's a bit I remember.

        DNA tests proved this is a lie already

          That was like 2500 years ago. There are Palestinians today who still carry the keys of the houses they were forced out of.

          Should I have the right to go to Africa and kick people out of their houses, on the basis that all humans are believed to have originally come from Africa? There's a statute of limitations at some point, surely.

          I'm certainly no expert on it and I know that both sides have their arguments but these Zionists are really extreme and are just making excuses to justify the war crimes they're committing. At the same time, Hamas also has their own issues, just not as much as Israel does.

              That's rough. Watch out for the retaliatory strikes provoked by your expansionist apartheid regime.

              There's probably a country out there that would accept you as a refugee, if you ever get tired of living on the front lines.

                I wonder if you'd apply the same standard in reverse. If a Chinese ambassador says something about the US, should I just take them at their word with no further evidence, until someone can prove that their claim is wrong?

                If said Chinese ambassador wrote a book that was also sourced (like this British ambassador's book is in a fair few places), their claims aren't disputed by any factual evidence and is generally corroborated by historians, I'd be inclined to believe them yes.

                I wouldn't expect said ambassador to have a scientific study backing up every single sentence in the book. If he's writing about his experiences, that can be a valuable perspective on things. I wouldn't treat it as gospel necessarily but I can still apply critical thinking to ascertain whether or not they're a credible source.

                    You're not going to find many books to the effect of, "see how hegemonic we aren't", so you mainly need to look at how the ussr treated republics within it, and especially preserved national minorities.

                    The USSR academy of sciences published works in many languages, same for the state publishing houses.

                    There are also some longer works on the languages of the USSR, because there was such a diversity of them and the constitution mandated their protection, but I haven't read them.

                    Compare with the US (wiped out every indigenous language), or the UK (tried to do the same for Irish and Welsh). It's always projection with these anticommunist westerner historians.

                              The status quo is that Palestinians have no rights (legal, human, you name it), while the Israeli state protects the Israeli citizens. They don't get to vote, they don't get to travel, and they don't even get to keep their homes and lives in the face of the Gaza genocide and state-sponsored settler-colonialism.

                              Now, there is no reason that liberation for Palestinians must mean some sort of displacement or genocide for Israelis. The very fact that Zionists want you to believe that liberation is a zero-sum game is very telling.

                              One option would be a secular state that represents both Israelis and Palestinians, with appropriate measures to protect whichever ethnic group may be in the minority.

                              Another would be a recognized, democratic Palestinian state alongside Israel, in the borders of 1949 (or perhaps 1967), with a robust right to return. The illegal settler occupations erected since then would obviously need to be removed.

                              There are, of course, other avenues, some more utopic than others (as an anarchist, I favor a no state solution but I am pragmatic enough to recognize that this is wishful thinking for the near-future). But none of them, at least the serious ones, include dispelling all Israelis.

                                  Perhaps also read https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russification then, which is linked on that page. It explains how the Soviets:

                                  • Forced other languages to use cyrillic if they didn't before, aligning the spelling of words with Russian
                                  • Made Russian a mandatory subject in schools
                                  • In mostly urban areas made sure education was primarily provided in Russian
                                  • Made indigenous people learn Russian, but Russian immigrants to those areas did not learn the indigenous language there

                                  These were all policies aimed at "unifying" the various cultures in the Soviet Union and strengthening control.

                                  Early Soviet Union is as you described, promoting various cultures and languages. Lenin saw that as a way to gain favour with the local populations. Later leaders however went down a different path.

                                    What happened to white settlers in South Africa? To this day they still hold most of the good lands and are richer.

                                      there is no land back. people want a state with equal rights; that's it. i love how this is always a "concern": hey i know we genocided you, but what if you retaliate? we can't have that so the genocide most continue.

                                      in reality we've seen what happens: what happened to the white south africans in south africa? what happened to the slave owners in the united states after emancipation? what happened to them after natives got some of their land and autonomy back?

                                      nothing. prosperity, even. but at this point i don't give a shit if it's not nothing. israelis proved time and again—yes the population too, not just the government—that they're genocidal maniacs.

                                      this is exactly the same as being concerned with what would happen to the nazis if germany gave rights back to the jews. imagine asking "what if the jews strike back? no the camps must stay".

                                      just as it was right back then to emancipate the jewish people and other minorities no matter what would happen afterwards, so it is for palestinians now. luckily for the rapists and murderers of the world, the oppressed never turn out to be so genocidal once freed.
