A bunch of rich kids partying on land pissing distance from the walls erected to lock in 2 million Palestinians, which was stolen from those Palestinians grandparents, are most definitely the fucken oppressors here mate.

Especially when you throw in compulsory military service

It wasn't stolen from them, what is currently Israel was British territory prior to ww2.

If you go back far enough with that line of reasoning, you end up back at Jewish territory anyway.

So really, they just gave it back to the original owners.
