That’s a different point entirely. I was only disagreeing with the commenters comparison of what happened to the Canaanites thousands of years ago to what’s happening today with the Palestinians. What i think about giving the land back to the Palestinians doesn’t matter.
It’s a false equivalence. Yes, it’s a fact, but let’s not pretend like they weren’t trying to use the Canaan conquest example to put a bit more dirt on Israel’s name. Yes, they did it. But so was every other empire and nation back in the day. Context matters.
Edit: I didn’t realise the first commenter in this thread was you haha
Gotcha… I guess I interpreted it as simply replying to the question of who I was talking about initially (native Americans or Israelites).
I’d say yes everyone was doing it, but we don’t “give back” land that was conquered… Like, America is never going to give America back to the first people’s, and we’d be pretty pissed if the world tried to make us (which is why it’s understandable that the Palestinians are pissed too)
So you’re agreeing that giving Palestine “back” to the Jews just because their ancestors lived there was stupid?

Who were you disagreeing with? The comment you replied to just stated a fact… I don’t see any of this comparison in that comment
