      As opposed to an active genocidal occupier in Palestine?

        It’s literally been happening on and off for thousands of years there…

          Not really. The occupation only began in 1917 at the earliest categorization.

              They weren’t colonized that’s for sure, they were (mostly) Muslim Arabs in a country where being a Muslim/Arab was normal and didn’t imply you had less rights or straight up didn’t deserve life.

              I think I understand your point of confusion. The original comment said this has been going on for thousands of years, and I meant to say that it only began around 1917. Although there was an Ottoman occupation before the brief Arab rule period, the Ottoman occupation did not have the turmoil and issues associated with the Zionist occupation.

              Where did I make any self rule claims? Don’t see why it’s relevant.

      Anyone taking action against a country committing genocide has my appreciation

        They do not care about the genocide, they care about reacting to the bombing of their own embassy.
