    So a state is paying people to immigrate, and that state is also paying for the colonization of a neighboring state and forcibly moving the ethnic population…but since it’s not the same people it’s not ethnic cleansing?

    The discussion was about the question of expelling Israeli immigrants for the crime of being immigrants, so no, those immigrants were not engaging in ethnic cleansing. Is it a lack of literacy, or a lack of intellectual integrity that causes you to conflate me saying “every Israeli immigrant isn’t engaging in ethnic cleansing and thus cannot be collectively punished with ethnic cleansing” with “The government of Israel is not committing ethnic cleansing”?

    Both, maybe?

    Lol, you don’t have a fucking point other than conflating decolonization with genocide.

    Please, tell me more about how ethnic cleansing isn’t genocide if it’s done to Bad Ethnicity™.

      The question wasn’t about the individuals…it was about the state, as it has been the whole time. And you have the gall to talk about literacy and a especially integrity considering your entire argument is based on malicious interpretation.

      ^Please, tell me more about how ethnic cleansing isn’t genocide if it’s done to Bad Ethnicity™.

      Already sent you an article about the delineation between decolonization and ethnic cleansing… And how that claim is often used by people who support apartheid and colonialism.

        Idk, any Israeli citizen currently living there (that wasn’t born there) is a first generation colonizer, surely it’s not anti-semetic to call for that specific subgroup’s relocation, no?

        That is the comment which started the conversation and which I replied to, it is literally about individuals

        Fucking Duning-Kruger in the flesh. Your own inabilities rob you of the ability to recognize your own inability.

        Go ahead. Say that’s secretly about the state. Or maybe you can say “The state and individuals are one and the same, so it’s okay to commit genocide” a third time, because like the Zionists, genocide is apparently the only thing that gets you off.

        Already sent you an article about the delineation between decolonization and ethnic cleansing…

        Yes, yes, the sacred words of your religion absolve you for doing the exact same thing as the Zionists.

          “Is Israel paying for people to immigrate to Israel with the purpose of expanding the Israeli state not an ethnic cleansing of Palestinians?”

          This is the question you responded to …Why can’t you argue in any sort of good faith? Is it against your principles or something?

          Yes, yes, the sacred words of your religion absolve you for doing the exact same thing as the Zionists.

          Religion? Are you mentally well? I thought you were just being an asshole with the ad hominems and your general beligerence, but im beginning to think you might be bipolar or something.
