Reasoning with Conservatives about Palestine

Instead of falling asleep right away last night, I kept myself awake by having an imaginary conversation. The holidays are around the corner and I was thinking about a childhood friend that I would see while visiting my mom in my hometown. For the record, my mom is awesome. She’s on board with what I do and she’s proud of me. Anyway, this childhood friend and her husband are in the key demographic for the Jewish controlled media to instill anti-Arab hate. They have two kids, live in a square state in the middle region of the country, and are Christian conservatives. Her husband is a veteran, having served in the Middle East on the behalf of Israel. Good people, the salt of the earth.

How would I talk to them about Palestine?

First, if they were pro-Israel or just wanted to see the whole area glassed, I would not necessarily hold it against them, as I remember that whenever I visited their home the TV was always on in the background. Therefore, their opinion would be based on bad information. Bad information like Hamas being terrorists. They might have even been conditioned to believe that all Arabs that don’t submit to the Israeli/American alliance are terrorists. On a side note, I remember in the 2010s when you were labeled an Islamophobe for not wanting mass Muslim immigration into Europe and America. Fast forward to today and you’re a terrorist enabler for being against Jews murdering thousands of innocent Palestinians.

One thing that red blooded Americans can get behind is the idea of fighting for your freedom. Since Jewish-controlled media isn’t bothering with history lessons, many people don’t even know why there is a conflict in the first place. To explain this, pictures work better than words.

For this picture lesson, I will employ some maps I found in an Al Jazeera (AJ) article. This article is a great read for those interested in the history. For purposes of not getting into the weeds, and not losing the interest of my conservative friends, I will do only a brief summary.

First, we have what Palestine was like before the British took over following the post-WW1 partition of the Ottoman Empire. The Jews living in the region were a tiny minority, both in population and land area. I’ll just say that I am not the biggest fan of British colonialism.

Because Islamic rule had lost control of their homeland, the borders were open to unwanted immigration. Foreign entities dictating immigration policy is something that White Europeans and Americans should be all too familiar with today.

On May 14, 1948, the British Mandate expired, which triggered a war between the Jews and the Arabs. Jews ended up capturing 78 percent of historic Palestine. Israel did this with “Significant superiority in numbers, technical and military training courtesy of veterans of the world wars, sympathetic allies in Europe who smuggled advanced weaponry and equipment and troops into the country, as well as a centralized command which ensured unity in goals, organization and tactics.” (source)

Something that might also be of interest to conservatives is the separation wall that Israel started building in 2002 and completed in 2005 with a total length is 440 miles. According to AJ:

“Israel says that the wall is for security purposes. However, rather than following the internationally-recognised 1967 boundary, known as the Green Line, 85 percent of the wall falls within the West Bank.

This severely limits the freedom of movement for Palestinians.”

Trump supporters were never given their promised wall, even with a GOP-controlled House and Senate. The Jewish-controlled American media was calling such border control inhumane and racist. Bloomberg went so far as to call it a “Monument to White Supremacy”. Where was the media outrage for Israel building a wall that nearly boxed in the Palestinians?

Here’s Benjamin Netanyahu gloating about his own wall, though his version is largely to keep people in rather than out.

Fast forward to today and this is what the Palestinians are left with. A sliver of their original land that not only is much smaller, but broken up, as well. Palestinians are surrounded by people that are encroaching on what little they have left while keeping them locked in open-air prisons, terrorizing, and murdering them.

From 2008 to 2020 over 5,000 Palestinians were killed by Israelis while on 215 Israelis were killed. As of October 29th, 2023, over 7,000 Palestinian civilians have been killed by Israel in retaliation for Hamas’ Al-Aqsa Flood, which is claimed to have led to the deaths of 1,400 Israelis. Considering the history and circumstances, it is clear that Palestinian resistance isn’t terrorism, it is a fight for freedom. It is a fight for survival. And Hamas aren’t some shadowy underground terrorist network—they are the democratically elected governing body of the Gaza strip that also has a military wing.

While Israel is wantonly committing the worst human rights violations we’ve seen in decades, America, is shelling out billions of dollars to them. This money is used by Jews to murder as many Palestinians as they can reasonably get away with, and to make life so hellish for the remaining that they leave. And their blockading food, water, and fuel entering Gaza clearly points to their motivations of starving out as many people as possible. This is genocide. America—the country with at least forty-five Holocaust museums—is funding Israel’s bloodthirsty ethnic cleansing campaign.

America being evil might be an uncomfortable thought to an American patriot. Too bad. Facts must be faced. One must also remember that just because the American power structure is evil doesn’t mean the American people are evil, especially seeing as Congress puts effectively zero stock in public opinion when deciding legislation. If you know what’s going on and you don’t do anything about it, that’s when your morality comes into question. All upright White conservatives should dump the genocide-enabling GOP.
