I’ve had multiple family members deployed to active warzones.

Whenever we talked about war, it was never about politics. It was always “X’s tour is supposed to finish next month,” or “I heard something happened near [town], wasn’t X deployed near there?”

I know how everyone talks about it on the internet, but what is it like for you at home?

  • You cannot seriously be blaming the people in a concentration camp for richting back.

    Lovely how Israelis compare themselves to genocidal American colonizers and think they have a point.

      No. The native American bit was for the “why don’t Israelis just leave/give back the land?” people… Because after 70+ years people have grown up, worked hard, bought land, raised families, etc.

      nobody I know in America would want to say “hey, I worked my whole life to (own my property, build my business, raise my family, etc) … If the native Americans asked really hard I’d give it back” …

      But a lot of people are saying that the Israelis should just leave.

      Edit. The other bit is that there are Muslims who live in Israel. There are Christians/atheists/etc who live in Israel as well.

      Jews aren’t welcome in SA, Iraq, Iran…

      Concentration camp is not a good analogy for what’s going on here

        The original Palestinian owners of the land are still alive. They are currently in the concentration camp being slaughtered by Israel.

        Jews still live in the countries you mentioned and are far less repressed than Palestians in Israel where a full apartheid and genocide against them takes place.
