    Being pro-Israel and being pro-Palestine are mutually exclusive positions since Israel is genociding Palestine.

    That’s like saying you can be pro Nazi and pro jew.

      I mostly agree in fact, however in definition it isn’t true. Israel is a nation that could exist in many other forms. It doesn’t have to do what it’s doing. It’s not the same as “pro-Nazi” because Nazism is an ideology, not a nation. A nation doesn’t have any set ideals, only a set of people and borders it represents.

      You can be anti-Nazi and pro-Germany because Nazis didn’t define Germany. They were Nazis at one point in time but are now represented by totally different ideals.

      No it would be like Finland allying with Germany because they had to be against Russia

      But I didn’t say pro-Palestine, I said pro-Palestinian which you clearly know the difference since you had to change it to make your point

        You just proved my point. The Finland/Germany/Russia comparison only fits with ‘Palestine’.

        The Nazi/Jews comparison is accurate with ‘Palestinian’.

          Would it be easier if I said “Finnish” instead of Finland?

          If the US backs Palestine do you honestly believe they will turn against all their allies to aid American security of the region and be Israel 2.0?

            That is irrelevant to the conversation.

            The state of Israel is currently genociding Palestinians. You can’t support the state of Israel and support the Palestinian people at the same time. Full stop.

              Oh lol

              It’s quite easy, you pressure your ally to stop that and to elevate the status of Palestinians in society

              Send humanitarian aid and doctors to Palestine
