Are you suggesting that the Palestinian people are not a national, ethnical, racial or religious group? Or did you just bold some words you don't understand? Also would you care to explain how I don't understand the parts I bolded? Israel has historically conducted a campaign of violent displacement of the Palestinian people. They've murdered them, removed them from their homes, and placed them in ghettos that Israel exercises a great deal of economic control over leading to massive rates of poverty and low access to necessary resources. You're supporting a state that has and is committing genocide.
Funny how you specify that there are no settlements in Gaza. Is there maybe another Palestinian territory with Israeli settlements that you're conveniently forgetting to mention?
And yeah, that's exactly how Israel's territory expanded.
No, we didn't try. We did commit genocide against our indigenous people. Arguably we still are. Genocide does not require the wholesale destruction of a people.
