    You had the first part but didn’t extend the same pleasantries to Israel in the second

    We knew it wasn’t going to happen from the beginning though, that’s why people who are actually pro-Palestinian have been pushing for equality with Israelis

      The reason I didn’t extend the same pleasantries is because Palestine has a right to exist as a state. Palestinians are a people that have consistently occupied that land for a very long time. It’s a diverse group of people that represent the diverse and rich history of the region. Israel is a genocidal European colony named for a biblical people that haven’t been a demographic majority in thousands of years, yet feel they have an exclusive right to that land.
