Yes, but Israel wasn't formally declared until '48.
And what exactly happened between 1946-1948?
A lot of ethnic violence? Do you want me to start citing examples in '46-'48 of Jews being beaten to death? I presume you are already aware of the reverse being performed on Palestinian Arabs.
So what's the relevance of the settlement being founded in 1946?
Funny how the natives of an area resist colonization.
So ethnic cleansing is okay regardless of how long it's been or how internationally recognized a settlement is?
You can't justify attacks against a settlement indefinitely because at one point other people lived there.
Is it ethnic cleansing when you drive out a colonizer? We are talking about 1946 now, right?
So can you explain what you mean by pointing out it was founded before 1948? So that we can stop answering each other with questions.
No, we're talking about a settlement that was founded in 1946 and has been a part of Israel since 1948 being attacked and its civilian population murdered in 2023.
Hmm think my comment was deleted by accident and I couldn't rescue it with an edit
So you mean in the context of 2023, not in the context of 1946?
Yep, like I said elsewhere, it's a war crime and a massacre.
Well, then we're in agreement. Apologies for the aggressive tone.
