Two nitpicks:

  • that was said by Abdul Rahman Hassan Azzam, who is Egyptian, not Palestinian
  • there's a huge difference between a threatened expulsion of some colonizers (words) and actual genocide of the indigenous population (actions)

"Well they didn't manage to do it so it's fine"

I mean, there is a big difference between the crimes you commit and the ones you don't commit.

If we're going to judge countries based off what politicians of OTHER countries say, we'll be here all night. Fuck Canada for the shit Trump says, etc.

We do judge countries based on that what is said and what they do.

Okay, but then address the point that the guy was Egyptian and not Palestinian?

It's not like they haven't expressed the same desire.

Post an example of Palestinian people calling for genocide instead of a some unrelated dude.

I know why people keep quoting this unrelated dud:, it's to make you think that "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" is a call to genocide. It's not, it's a call for freedom. Both quotes just use the word "sea", but are otherwise not related.

But they tried.

[-] KittyCat@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Oh they tried, what do you think would have happened if Israel lost their first war?

[-] iain@feddit.nl 5 points 8 months ago

You've already made up in your mind that the Palestinians are genicidal, in order to justify their colonization, oppression and murder by the Israelis. You do this for your own peace of mind. You need to do that because if you didn't, you would see it for what it is, a people fighting for its liberation. You require the Palestinians were all perfect pacifists, going along with their own ethic cleansing and genocide.
