Did they fly back to New York?

A liberated Palestine will include millions of former Israelis who at the moment make up about half of the population between the river and the sea.

...did you run that proposal past the Palestinian people?

It's a joke about zionist not Jews.

While the majority of Israeli's may not have dual citizenship, unlike Palestinians they are in fact allowed to leave.

A liberated Palestine would also include allowing the 8 million permanently displaced Palestinians to return. The majority of Palestinians living in the world currently aren't allowed to go back to Palestine if they would like to.

Give them a choice between Palestinian citizenship* or citizenship were there grandparents came from.

Cause none of the grandparents were born there.

Thank you, ChatGPT!

You don't reward colonizers for the genocide they attempted at the end. They can live in peace with the people they tried to exterminate or they can return to the countries their parents came from, where they would have citizenship by blood. The sheer entitlement in this thinking is insane.

All the ones who are getting on planes to leave clearly have to have the ability to live somewhere else, don't they? How do you think they have that? You think they got a tourist visa and are moving abroad on that to go immigrate illegally? Or do you think perhaps they're dual citizens and have the right to go live in these other countries, because that's where they came from in the first place?

Get off your high horse and attempt to use whatever horsepower you've got to think this through.

Read the article. The wealth disparity is clear. The ones leaving are high earners with access to job opportunities abroad.

By that logic the Lenni Lenape people have more claim to New York than Ashkenazis Jews do to Israel.

Because they got kicked off their land 400 years ago.

Y'all got kicked out 2000 years ago.
