    Genuine question. The sign in the thumbnail says, “We want Palestine to be liberated.” What does that mean?

    Is it advocating for the dissolution of the state of Israel? Like, “liberated” implies the removal of an occupier, no?

    It can’t just mean “stop the murders,” right? Like, if that’s the case it was say to liberate the “Palestinians,” not “Palestine” right?

    I just ask because I feel like the messaging on this is a bit all over the place at times, and calls for the abolishment of the state of Israel seem a bit extreme to me, and I’m trying to figure out if that’s the actual stance people are taking.

      I can’t speak for them, but I think the world would be a better place if Zionists left Israel and came to the United States instead.

      We have plenty of room for them in places like Wyoming, although it doesn’t quite align with their fairytale novel.

        Historically, weren’t Jews living there even before Arabs? Why ethnic cleansing is allowed in that region?
