    Well, in the case of Bedouins, it technically isn’t a genocide…. Seems ironic to me that a member of a group that is traditionally migratory refuses to leave. But the reason is obvious: if they leave, they’ll have nowhere to come back to and nowhere to go.

    Climate change (local as well as global) has been hard on the Bedouin everywhere.

    And it also points out that the Israeli expansionists aren’t just about Palestinian genocide; they don’t want anyone who’s not Jewish on the land. And I’m sure if they ever accomplished that, the goalposts would move to “only practicing Jews allowed” and following that, “only orthodox Jews allowed” — except that the orthodoxy wouldn’t necessarily line up with how we’ve traditionally used that term.

      They pretty much do the same to their Armenian and Christian minorities. They are trying to slowly grab the whole land, which is very ironic, because they seem to have fully embraced from the river to the sea ideology.
