Borders shift, bro. - Lemmy.World

Lemmy

Unpopular opinion but do folks honestly not understand how those borders shifted? Mostly because a bunch of countries tried to murder the Jews and yeah, Israel took part of their land in the counter offensives.

If Ukraine kept Kursk, I can’t imagine we’d really be complaining?

Basically, if you launch a surprise war I think you forfeit the right to be surprised or angry when your land gets taken.

How the fuck can a population that you’re killing and stealing the land from start a SURPRISE war?

I take it you have 0 knowledge of the Six Day or Yom Kippur wars? Which is how the borders in the headlines moved. I mean, heck, a lot of recent maps of Israel show in which war the territory was taken.

I kinda guessed folks were ignorant of the history but come on, this is pretty basic stuff.

The existence of Israel as a settler-colonial entity nullifies any argument that any resistance on the area can be a “surprise”.

It shouldn’t exist. It is all stolen land that they are continuing to steal.

I mean, Israel was taken from the Jews way back when so by your logic, aren’t they just taking back their land and thus, apparently according to you, allowed to do whatever?
