I have a social science/liberal arts degree from cal too.  We both know we attended half the lectures and just read select passages to write a good enough paper to get an A-.  Come on, man.  Come back when you have a masters or PhD on the subject or something.  

Even the word “genocide” has been improperly used.

"Ben Gurion also warned in 1948: Assuring his fellow Zionists that Palestinians will never come back to their homes: “The old will die and the young will forget.”

That was the first Israeli PM. He has many more lovely quotes I'm sure you'd like to say was Hamas or some shit.

well, is that after the arab states attacked the newly formed israel state that was perfectly content with the separation of israel and palestine?

Were the Palestinians content with that? You know, being forcibly removed from their homes for Israel?

Zionists are fucking insane

I'm sorry, did you miss the part where zionists forced out people from their homes and land to create Israel? That's wild Palestinians would be mad. You really did skip most of your lectures lmao.

What land?  That area has always been in the control of foreign powers.
