I think it's more fundamental than that @peterbrown
From the beginning in the 19th century, when those who eventually created Israel combined aspects of Christian Zionism with aspects of Judaism to create their ideology, they denied the existence of Palestinians. When Palestinians stubbornly continued to exist, that ideology denied their humanity. Eliminating the existing population of Palestine is fundamental to the very essence of Israel. #IsraelPalestineConflict #israel #Palestine #WarCrimes #CrimesAgainstHumanity #genocide @JapanProf@oatmeal@palestine@israel
