"When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less." Humpty Dumpty. One classic strategy relevant here is the motte-bailey fallacy, an equivocation favoured by more radical leftists and progressives. Pushing an extreme or indefensible view, the bailey, then when challenged retreating to a milder, more reasonable view, the motte. 'intifada' is one, as is 'jihad' and resistance. Of course, the dupes are only aware of the motte. They provide cover for the extremists.
Also remind your readers there hasn’t been an Israeli or Jewish person living or occupying Palestine since 2005 and the “outdoor prison” they claim to live in because of Israel actually had a much larger “prison wall” along the boarder they SHARE with Egypt (granted the tunnels underneath that boarder help those who could be seen as terrorist move between the two boarders).
Which is why words mean nothing anymore and all news is fake news. The human rights/NGO/progressive crowd have ruined public speech. What they have created in its stead is a situation where war that will crush the Palestinians who are everything you depicted is the only solution. So when the bombs rain down on Beirut the pro-palestinian creeps and their governments will have no one but themselves to blame for the disaster.
I appreciate this article but continue to be confused by the use of ‘Palestine.’ Are we talking about Babylonian Palestine, British Palestine, PLO “Palestinian” Palestine? It seems to me I may not be the only one confused and prevents many from understanding who is from where and belongs where. I could use some clarification.
There needs to be push back on what you said regarding indigenous peoples. Jews in Judea are the indigenous people. Arabs from Arabia are the non indigenous people in Judea.
Spot on. As I've stated elsewhere today the Arabs' stated goal of eliminating Israel remains unchanged since the British partition.

Absolutely. I guess I was speaking about the reference more globally. Sorry

I'm sure there's no confusion about who I'm speaking about.
