      I really love the bullshit “doesn’t Israel have the right to exist” question, as if they care about anyone’s right to exist, fuck off and cease existing yourself already Israel

        I felt that way until i learned about the history and colonization of Israel. Most people in the U.S. don’t know that much about that region. They just see a supposed ally that occasionally gets attacked.
