Against The PINKWASHING of Israel

30. That's absurd.

You're making an absolutist statement about Israeli's as a whole.

The government policy is a reaction to Arab doctrine that Israel should not exist. Israel has existed as a state since 1948. It doesn't matter how it fucking got there. It's there. Thus it must be recognized as something that exists. The entire Arab world treats Palestinians the same way Israel does. Israel believes that it must, otherwise that's where they would migrate to, weakening the Israeli state and installing a caliphate or whatever. That's how they view it. The Arab world assigns refugee status to every person born from a Palestinian male (mind you most of Jordan was originally Palestinian during the exodus, the designation is literally conferred by birth certificates and arbitrary passports).

The refugee camps in Syria and Jordon and Lebanon house over a million "refugees." Mind you the vast majority of these Palestinian people are descendants of the original exodus, they were born in Syria, Jordon, Lebanon, but they have lesser rights conferred to them as they are "refugees" who "must return" to Israel. Mind you, if they have never ever set foot on that land, they "must return."

FYI you're the one who started the whataboutism with your comparisons when I was not originally even making any. I shouldn't have even bothered. It was just quaint. I mean, the biggest propaganda outlet against "pinkwashing," who "supports Palestinian gays," has its monthly Queer Party in none other than Tel Aviv. Talk about hypocrites.
