Israel’s efforts to erase Palestinian history reflect ‘incremental genocide...

The idea that pasty white Europeans are reclaiming anything in that region is beyond stupid.

The question about genocide– yes, it’s an incremental genocide. And I think that’s a word that gives a lot of people pause and it certainly should. We don’t see the absolutely mass slaughters, although in Gaza I think we’ve seen something very much like it that we usually associate with genocide. But– the attempts to erase a people, to just erase them, to erase their history, I think follow a logic that can only be called genocidal. I mean, every time someone says– and people say it all the time, I get it on twitter all the time– “There’s no such thing as a Palestinian,” or “There was nobody there when the Zionists arrived”– these are genocidal statements, these are attempts to erase a culture, erase a history, decimate a people and I think they should be recognized as that.

"incremental genocide."

Yeah... sometimes not so incrementally...

This list is hardly inclusive, but from wiki, the "encyclopedia" that is heavily edited by professionals who are paid by Israel for propaganda purposes:

Around 400 Arab towns and villages were depopulated during the 1948 Palestinian exodus. Some places were entirely destroyed and left uninhabitable;[1][2] others were left with a few hundred residents and were repopulated by Jewish immigrants, then renamed.

Why don't you make a list of all the Jewish villages and towns which were depopulated or destroyed? Seems only fair.

There weren't any.

You folks never even read the OP. It is like you have these preset things that you are supposed to post, but get confused as to where.

This is the topic...

Funny how louie888 brought up the depopulated Palestinian villages, but now that we ask him to discuss the Jewish ones, he wants us to go back to the OP.

What are you doing? The thread is about the genocide of the Palestinian people. There was no genocide of Jews... ever... they have been thrown out of every place they ever tried to settle, that we know, but never exterminated with their history and culture.

Start a thread if you want.

I think I'll stick around and just point out your vile anti-semitism instead. You managed three distinct anti-semitic canards in one sentence. Impressive. Even for around here.

Let's talk about the erasure of the Jewish people in Palestine. Start with answering a simple question: Is the Temple Mount and the Kotel a Jewish historical and religious site?

I love when an anti-Semite plays the ant-Semite card.

Feel free to start a thread... this is the one on the genocide of the Palestinian people.

Ooooh. Four anti-semetic canards now. I wonder how many there are? Maybe you can hit them all in one night.

And I am making an important and relevant point which directly responds to your OP and the premise of this thread. If Arab Muslim Palestinians believe that the Temple Mount and the Kotel are an Islamic religious site and an Arab "Palestinian" historical site (and ONLY Islamic/Arab)-- WHOSE history is being erased?

The reclamation of the Jewish history by the Jewish people is NOT erasing Palestinian history. The premise of the OP is bogus.

As a Jew, I would think you'd be more concerned about Palestinians trying to erase all Jewish history from Eretz Yisroel. Besides, how can Israelis be trying to erase Palestinian history when they have no sites in Israel, except for the Dome of the Rock? Arabs, on the other hand, have tried to erase Jewish history there by destroying Joseph's Tomb; trying to destroy Rachel's Tomb (necessitating the construction of an ugly fortress around it); getting UNESCO to call the Temple Mount by its Muslim name only; renaming The Western Wall in Arabic; and destroying all archeological evidence of the Temple from the Temple Mount.

Even if true, which it is not, why would destroying structures be anyway near as vile as the Jew's attempts to destroy a people, from asserting that the people don't exist, that there were no such people when the European Jews began the colonial project and killing them by the thousands ever 1 or 2 years?

Your whining belongs in the conspiracy theory section of the forum.

It's your heroes in Hamas who, in both words and action, attempt to fulfill the goals of their fascist Charter. One of the strangest things to note is that we are living in a time when islamist apologists are embarrassed to acknowledge the precepts of Islamic politico-religious ideology or quote the verses and ahaadeeth on jihad or even acknowledge the goals of the Hamas charter.
