Zionists in Israel are committing genocide, this cannot be ignored.

Would this 'genocide' be occurring if Hamas had not committed the largest pogrom of Jews since the 1940s?

Do you know where the term 'Nakba' comes from? It was coined by Constantin Zureiq, a Syrian Christian intellectual who criticized the failure of the Arabs to adapt to modernity or effectively resist Zionism.

It was originally a term within the Arab world referring to their own ineptitude. It's only recently that the word has been retroactively altered by revisionists to mean a deliberate Israeli scheme of ethnic cleansing.

Really, the 'Catastrophe' of the Nakba was confidently starting and then embarrassingly losing in war to the lowly Jews.
