on #Palestine: people defend israel saying it's reparations to Jewish people for the Holocaust — and yes like I will not hear debate on if reparations were needed for the Holocaust, obviously reparations couldn't even begin to address the horror — BUT (1/?) the idea of Palestinian territory given as European #reparations TOTALLY ignores the fact that the land was not Europe's to give! Britain was a colonial power playing cards with Palestinian lives, lands, and homes beginning in 1917 (pre-holocaust) w/ the Balfour Declaration (2/?)
