   - #Israel is carrying out genocide in #Gaza.

   - Context! You must go back… all the way to October 7.

   - Sure, let’s go back: let’s go back 76 years to May 15, 1948, to the #Nakba; the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people where 750,000 people were “expelled from their homes or made to flee, at first by Zionist paramilitaries through various violent means, and after the establishment of the State of Israel, by the Israel Defense Forces.” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba)

   - No, no, not like that.

     @lk108 Right, was that when the Palestinians carried out the Holocaust?

     @aral But further back, up to 1945, there was something else.. we have to acknowledge and transform all the trauma, or it will never end

     @mikewaghorne One happened within living memory. The other is a fairy tale in a fairy tale book.

     @aral Hell. Why not go right back to the slaughter of the Canaanites - men, women, children and their cattle - ordered by some mythical 'God'?

     @aral I don't really know much about the history of the region so got the book the Hundred Years' War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi on the recommendation of this video https://youtu.be/1ZPR-M5QFPA?si=ZFzZxNMroiEI9iVv

     @aral That is probably true but it is the kind of fairy tale that Netanyahu is using to slaughter Gazans. He refers to Gazans as Amelakites who must be destroyed. Fairy tale tellers can kill with calm consciences.
