CNN reporting on some interesting survey results from the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research in Ramallah. Seven hundred and fifty adults were interviewed face to face in the West Bank, and 481 were interviewed in Gaza, also in person. The Gaza data collection was done during the recent truce, when it was safer for researchers to move about.

    What are you talking about with “indigenous to”. Israel is a colony. It was created through the removal of the indigenous people.

      There have always been Jews in Israel/Palestine and 20% of Israeli citizens are Arabs, the only Arabs that were removed were the ones who either didn’t want to leave with Jews around or the ones that attacked them in 48, and lost.

      Only in your head are Arabs the only indigenous inhabitants of this region lol.

        You are conflating Zionists and Jews. Fuck all the murderous Israelis. Most people don’t care if they are Jewish or not.

      Are you saying Jews aren’t indigenous to… Judea? Cuz that’s pretty wild. They’ve been there for thousands of years even despite the variously successful attempts to displace them.

      Also, colonies serve a homeland, send resources back etc. What nation does Israel act on behalf of? Alternatively, which country sent people to Israel to colonize it for their benefit? The answer can’t be ‘europe’ to that one…

      Fundamentally, Israel is the greatest decolonization effort man has ever seen. The Jews were mostly kicked out over a period of time , the Diaspora formed and worked to re-establish the homeland and were eventually successful in doing so. That’s a win for everyone other than the people who moved into the region while it was colonized and refuse to live in Peace with the original inhabitants.
