My very good friend posted a video I disagree with. We commented back and forth. And then this girl says that "If people invaded our country, I hope that in 5000 years our decedents will fight for our land that is rightfully ours". I wanted to be like, "Sweetie, you realize that with your theory, we are the "Jews" because we're all immigrants". But I just can't ?

Is she American? Because really.
Yes. And from Massachusetts. I didn't want to write back because she seemed very young....
Oh totes, Jews would love to live in Germany versus the holy land. Bonus, we'd have proximity to the graves of millions of family members! Gross. And the Florida thing? Unfunny.

Jews are not immigrants to their ancestral home. No.

Wait, wut, yes. Sorry, but yes. If a bunch of blacks folks up and moved back to wherever DNA testing confirms we came from, we would still be immigrants. And if a bunch of Aleutians suddenly decided to trek on back to Russia, they would be immigrants. Hell if a third generation Japanese family decided to return to Tokyo, they would be immigrants.

It's not Palestinian land. They were placed there by the Brits. We're all Semites. It's our land. We were forced into the diaspora. Give me a fucking break.

Umm no. Just because at one point 2,500 years ago, someone belonging to your ethnic group controlled a particular piece of land for a certain amount of time, that does not mean it belongs to you forever and ever amen no matter what else has happened in the intervening millennia.

I am trying to imagine how that would go. England got it's name because of the Angles. Do the Picts get the right to force them back to Germany?
The whole of the earth as it stands now is the result of a series of migrations over time. Russians into North America, all manner of Goths from one side of Europe to the other, Tatars across Asia, African migrations.
In recent memory, you have the English transporting convicts to Australia displacing Aborigine peoples, spreading out to New Zealand and displacing the Maori. They do not speak Spanish south of the border and below because Incans learned the language and decided it was superior to their own.

God knows the United States would be one of the first to go. "Everybody back to your respective countries now! Evacuate Atlanta, the Cherokees want it back now!"
I can't do this impassively. I have enough stress right now. I shouldn't have engaged. I do not consider sabras to be immigrants. Israel is a Jewish state now, and it was the ancestral home of the Jews. You can mock all you want.
The next person who claims their life is entirely too stressful to be judged by their online comments is getting bad makeup shipped to their houses. Raccoon eyes, cakey foundation, and unpigmented eyeshadow will be on your doorstep in a fortnight.

You're a peach. I said I shouldn't have engaged right now.

Don't you think this is taking it a little too far? Threats and stalking are one thing but...unpigmented eyeshadow....that's low, hbc, that's low.

I'm going to say that until you actually read up on the history of the region and know what you're talking about, you shouldn't engage at any time.

Yes, it's valid when the UN establishes the state by vote. Are you arguing that Israel is not a country?
Someone forgot to tell the Palestinians they should have gotten to the state certifying office first.
But seriously though, I am not rah rah Palestine/Fuck Israel in the face at all. One can see that by my previous comments on the issue, though I've avoided making many of them of late. That being said, your comments suggest that anyone can return to any country of their bloodlines at any time and it helps to have a UN rubber stamp. The UN has made a good many of questionable decisions. It's okay to question this one. It is not okay to pretend as if those lands were empty and free to be handed out to whomever one chooses. And then handed back again later with a relatively fresh international body's consent.
The simple fact of the matter is that Israel, Gaza, the West Bank, etc are no simple open and shut matter.
In general, the declaration that something is a state is not the end all be all. You need only to look at history to know that your arguments are not logical or consistent with world history. Neither do they take into account political climate.
I do believe that Israel has the right to exist but it's not because of something so illogical, shifting, or inconsistent as a UN declaration, ancestral homeland, or Britain handing out lands that don't belong to them like candy.

And that's why I specifically didn't mention gritty lipstick or gloss with a glue like consistency. I also left out stinging liquid eyeliner. I felt like that was just a bridge too far.
I thought about wishing upon her the horror of mistaking one's toner for makeup remover. I think @kateaggie would agree this is just a cruelty no woman should experience.
