    That’s a massive post that could have been more effectively summed up as “Yes Im that racist and I know fuckall about history”

    Factually the majority of Israelis are from Middle Eastern nations whose relatives were expelled when Israel was created so it is factually inaccurate to suggest that Israelis are Europeans when the above covers roughly 55% of the population.

    Some Palestinians might have ancestry with the original native groups but we would have noway of being able to determine this. We factually do know that there was significant Arab migration into the area at various points and the modern population is related to these Arabs. To be clear there is no “native” population to the Levant that can be proven in any way right now.

    While I agree Likhud is racist and largely counterproductive you have so many overtly factual errors in addition to the overt racism it is difficult for me to take you serious at all.
