"Just fifty years ago" still has tangible effects on life today, settler. Hell, "just two hundred years ago" still has tangible effects on life today.

    Wait wait wait, are you trying to tell me that events in the past affect the present? That doesn't even make sense. How can something that already happened in any way change what's happening right now? Utterly insane.

    This reminds me of when the General Secretary of PCUSA said people who say stuff that happened in the past still matter don’t understand dialectics.

    Not to mention that it's ongoing. It's been fifty years since they started to kinda almost nearly hide it.

    Love when the "ancient history" deflection is levied against Palestine specifically, as if the settlers committed atrocities some odd time ago (and not literally yesterday, today, tomorrow...)

  • Hell even the ancient kindgom of Israel comitted atrocities against other Canaanite people, and the ones they couldn't eradicate entirely were Philistines, from which Palestine was named (or Philistines were named for the land, i don't remember). They even brag about those atrocities in Bible and whine about Philistine resistance, painting them as opressor, despite one look on maps, both back then and the current one will show easily who was opressor and agressor and who was the victim. And i won't even mention the bible story of Samson and the current nuclear option named after him.
