feotakahariHonestly, I don’t think Palestinians deserve or have a right to “their” land. Neither do Israelis currently living there. I give a slight preference to continuity of ownership, since it would be pretty disruptive if you kicked me out of the house I’m currently living in, so I guess that balances things towards Israelis. But at the same time, there are folks who still hang onto their house keys to symbolize how they want their houses back, and I won’t disrespect them by saying they deserve the houses much less.
That’s how I feel about a lot of this Israel stuff. Like, I respected one writer because she was one of the few military fiction writers who seemed to recognize civilian deaths were bad, and then she stopped recognizing civilian deaths were bad when Israel caused them. I can’t ask for policy change among randos on the Internet who can’t control policy in the first place. But I can at least ask for consistency.
