And when you say Israelis should leave, you don't mean Arab or Palestinian Israelis right? We know exactly which kind of Israeli you want specifically removed, the Jewish kind.
But even if we follow your argument, I'm native Mayan/pipil. I'll support your idea that Israel return the land, once you fucking return mine and leave my continent.
Wish we could but like the Palestine/Israel conflict we all know we can't. Just need to score internet points.
Wish also that all this insanity had people being specific about what kind of reparations would help heal the wounds rather than arguing that this is the point where a thousand year's blood feud should end with the complete destruction of an ethnicity.
So because someone is an idiot, everyone gets to be idiots? I fully support leaving native land to native people, but we gotta start somewhere and that might aswell be Israel/Palestine.
you don't get the nuance man. hes saying the guy is white. regardless of what reality is. so it hits on so many levels. maybe white. maybe just some native blood. oh man. next level shit.
Because it hasn't happened to most of the residents of Gaza, the land Hamas administers. Gaza has had the 1967 borders since like 2004 and 1/2 the population of Gaza is below 18. So most Gazan have never had land taken from them.
Because it's not actively happening in Gaza. Gaza has the 1967 borders and no settlements. Israel evicted every Jewish settler in the mid 2000s at an honest effort of peace. And Gaza was suppose to be the model for peace and a 2 state solution in the region.
Instead of peace there's been constant, increasing conflict coming from Gaza. And not just against Israel, but against Egypt and the West Bank too.
Why not start by giving all of western Massachusetts back to the Wampanoag, Upstate NY to the Iroquois tribes, and the rest of the US to whichever other native tribe was originally lived there?
Or start by giving Australia back to the aboriginals?
Should apartheid have ended by deporting all the white South Africans back to Europe? Or was it a good thing that it ended by, you know, giving black South Africans rights?
Personally, I'm all for a one state solution, so long as it's one secular, democratic state that protects everyone's rights.
I'm brown, black hair, with 67% Aztec/Mayan ancestry and my mother was born in a village without electricity or running water, but sure, keep being racist
Yes, diluting their race to extinction. This is not a "genocide" per se (though the slaughters were), and is to be expected from immigration - but it has led to Mayans' distinctiveness disappearing.
"Deluting race into extinction" sounds like white supremacist rhetoric to me tbh. Just admit your takes about racial purity and "soft genocide" are shit
Never once did I say that it's a bad thing for a race to be diluted out. It's the inevitable endpoint of humanity.
The only part that makes it bad is the colonialism and actual murder and genocide that took place at the same time, accelerating its process.
This is the imagery white supremacists conjure when they whinge about alleged "white genocide", but their claims are bullshit because there is no one killing white people en masse and stealing their land.
Race mixing and "dilution" is inevitable when cultures meet and share amongst each other. This is natural and fine. What is not fine is murdering people, stealing their land, and raping their women to produce bastard offspring and create an underclass of mixed people to be brutalised as badly as their native parents, ending with fully native people being replaced by mixes of their rapists.
There is a huge fucking difference here, and by ignoring that you are the one furthering colonial narratives.
Through the self-rule of states in Mexico and Guatamala and the legal framework known as Indigenismo maya people have a surprising amount of autonomy and self-rule.
A civilization (British English: civilisation) is any complex society characterized by the development of the state, social stratification, urbanization, a currency, and symbolic systems of communication beyond natural spoken language (namely, a writing system).
To quote a different Wikipedia article
The Maya (/ˈmaɪə/) are an ethnolinguistic group of indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica. The ancient Maya civilization was formed by members of this group, and today's Maya are generally descended from people who lived within that historical region. Today they inhabit southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Honduras. "Maya" is a modern collective term for the peoples of the region; however, the term was not historically used by the indigenous populations themselves.
In short, that sentence doesn't say what you think it says.
