Israelis/Palestinians come from same place, have nowhere else to go, and need to find way to share that homeland. This is the I/P conflict. Posters like this arenโ€™t just racist. Theyโ€™re a profoundly stupid category error, written by people far away from issue they barely fathom

It is admirable that Palestinian President Abbas said this.
There is much darkness and tragedy.
But this is the future.
2 nations. 2 republics. Israel & Palestine. Security and calmness for both.
There is no other way.

Grateful that the World Central Kitchen is resuming operations in Gaza, following a month-long hiatus after the horrendous killing of their staff on April 1st. There's an immense need for their services as large segments of Gaza's population suffer from malnutrition andโ€ฆ

They are making a fair offer to both sides.

Israelis get recognition and partnership.

Palestinians get self-determination on the land where they live.

Both sides win.

It is interesting that the Arabic language equivalent of 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' is 'From the water to the water, Palestine will be Arab'

This is the guy who said we should be grateful that he didn't start killing Jews because Zionists have no right to be alive.

My friend Palestinian peace activist Hamza๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ interviewed by CNN about his concerns about rising antisemitism and support for Hamas on campuses in the USA and UK.

Typical day on Twitter, random Western leftists are here to tell me that I am a pro-war Israeli shill, and random Likudniks are here to tell me that actually I am not Palestinian I am 'probably an Egyptian'.

Your identity does not make you right or wrong about any issue.

My identity as a British-Palestinian does not make me right or wrong about any issue.

Only facts and evidence can make you right or wrong.

This pathetic grifter spent the past 13 years defending the Syrian tyrant Assadโ€™s relentless campaign against his own people! She had no problem with Iran and Putin using their military might against Syrian civilians to keep him in power!
1 million dead and 11 million displaced!

Being able to live in peace is more important than the question of who is indigenous.

But both sides are indigenous.

I don't know why people misinterpret this but to be clear, when I say I want peace, I do NOT mean permanent Israeli occupation.

What I mean is two countries, Israel and Palestine, living in peace.

I'm talking about working towards and achieving a 2 state solution.

The Palestine protests are explicitly pro-war protests.

Whether or not you agree with them, we should all acknowledge that they are pro-war protests.

You should go to Gaza.

Go to the West Bank.

Go to Jordan, Lebanon, Israel.

Make up your own mind about these societies by experiencing them.

Here is the criticism of Israeli government policy that so many critics were waiting to see, I doubt any of them will pay attention to it because it doesn't fit their narrative.

Hamas supporters vs Native American indigenous land activists is not the conflict I was expecting to see today.

I read someone say that Palestinians are 'culturally appropriating' watermelon.

This is wrong.

It is actually a huge thing in Palestinian culture. It was one of my favourite foods growing up and when I was in the West Bank in rural areas many fields were growing watermelons.
