    Fun fact! ^He puts Palestinians in quotation marks because he doesn’t believe they have any right to the land, can’t claim it as a real country and because he thinks none of them are civilians and are actually all terrorists. The more you know!

      Imagine if we put “Israelis” or “Jews” between quotes like that. What would be their reaction?

        No one is an “Israeli”. They’re either a Jewish citizen of Palestine, an outsider in Palestine, or a disgusting settler living in someone else’s house (not even human).

          Of course they are human. Humans take other people’s homes, too.

          And while I agree with your overall point, I don’t think it’s helpful to deny anyone their identity. Israelis are citizens of Israel and they and their government have a chance to set this all right and not be a goddamn apartheid ethnostate.
