A conversation with a Palestinian apologist | a.k.a. Destroying the narrative

 “The Israeli occupation is the problem and the core of the conflict. That’s why Palestinians attack Jews.”

“Got it. So before the ‘occupation’, by that logic, there should have been no Palestinians murdering Jews, right?” “Exactly”. “Cool, cool, so why were hundreds of Jews killed by Palestinians between 1949 and 1956? How does that work?” “Well, because there was the Nakba in 1948 where Israelis kicked Palestinians out of their home!” “Got it. So before the ‘Nakba’, by that logic, there should have been no Jews killed by Palestinians?” “Exactly.” “Cool, cool, so why did Arabs massacre Jews in Hebron in 1929? No occupation, no oppression, no Nakba back then. There wasn’t even a state of Israel then, so what were they resisting then?” “Well, they already knew that the Jewish people intended on taking their land so they wanted to prevent it.” “Got it. So there should not have been any Arab violence against Jews outside of Israel, which was then called Palestine.” “Exactly.” “Cool, cool. So, why did Arabs massacre Jews outside of Israel? Ever hear of Farhud where Iraqi Jews were slaughtered for no reason other than them having the audacity of existing?” Arab/Muslim hatred of Jews has nothing to do with some fabricated occupation or some fairy tale event called the Nakba, which was really just an event in which the Arab countries attacked Israel and lost. Arab hatred of Jews dates back to the Quran.
