     I'm not interested in your ahistorical take on the Nakba. If you're not Palestinian, this is a great day to shut up and listen.

     "Israel’s rejection of what Palestinians say is their right of return has been a core grievance in the conflict"

     This is a factual error. The right of return is a right for all refugees. It's not a matter of opinion.

     @CartyBoston @boulder@mastodon.social offers that require abandoning your rights under international law and accepting illegal settlements.

     This fact is not entirely their fault, but when given the chance to establish a state, they have rejected it time and again. This is because the principal grievance of the Palestinian cause, one revealed in those rejections of sovereignty and by rhetoric spanning generations, is not the absence of a desired nation-state but the existence of another one.

     Imagine having so little agency that you are criticized for "rejecting offers".
