What 1000 year conflict? The nakba was less than a century ago. Plus "please stop giving 2000 pound bombs to Israel to commit a genocide with" is a very far cry from "please end the Israeli apartheid state".
That’s because we don’t expect the republicans to ever actually fix any of the problems, because to us they are obviously pure evil. We are much angrier at the party that PRETENDS to be on the left and then does absolutely nothing leftists want them to.
Memes get a pass when it comes to outright lies... I guess.
Israel: mentioned by name in multiple 2,000+ year old religious texts describing the same region of the world
Leftists: "The entire concept of Israel was invented in 1948 by the British."
And most of the people in the area became Christians and later Muslims. Some stayed Jewish. And these are the Palestinian people inhabiting the land since thousands of years. They are the descendents of that biblical people.
Now their distant relatives who have left come back and rob them of their land. But this is a new development. And for obvious reasons 2024+ years ago there was neither Muslims nor Christians who could have been in conflict with Jews.
Israel is a kingdom with it's capital in Samaria. It fell 2700 years ago, give or take 50 years.
Edit: Also, want to know what happened to the Samaritans: They became the Arabic speaking population of Nablus (and other areas of northren Palestine).
The Holy Roman Empire is the Roman Empire. The Emperor is even annointed by the pope!
