Indiana University's "Liberation Commencement" was a celebration of the students' brave commitment to fighting powerful institutions and their involvement in challenging Zionism and the Palestinian genocide.

Absolutely NOT, of course. Israel has never started a war. What's more Israel has always agreed to every serious peace initiative, starting from the Partition Plan of 1947 to the call for peace in the Declaration of Independence in '48, to withdrawal after the Sinai campaign, to the Peace settlement with Egypt in 1977, Madrid agreement, Oslo accords, and evacuating Gaza in 2006.

The question was, if Israel had never been attacked by any of its Arab neighbors, or any terrorist groups, would any of these so-called "genocide" or "massacres" ever have happened.
The answer is clearly: of course not.

As you probably know, there are about 2.5 Million Palestinian citizens of Israel (sometimes we call them "Arab Israelis"). They have full rights, vote in elections, work, go to university, have the same modern health care, same as every Israeli citizen. No ethnic cleansing here. (BTW, all the above is NOT true for Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria...)

Huh??
The 1947 Partition Plan left Jews with all the malaria ridden swamps in the Jezreal and Hula valleys, and the "uninhabitable" Negev desert. Whereas the part that could have become Palestine included the rich agricultural regions in the central mountains, with the cities of Nablus, Ramallah, Jerusalem and Hebron as well as the farm region of Gaza.
