Nobody said that the state of Israel has been around for 1,000 years, they're saying conflict over the land of Israel (Southern Levant) has existed for 1,000 years. Actually, it's more like 3,000 years.
If your chronology of events here starts in 1948, you're omitting a shitload of context as to why rights over this region are so contested.

the funniest part about this post is that trump and kamala's statements here are functionally identical, differing only in the phrasing.

Please look up Brett Mcgurk before you praise Biden and Kamala's stance on Israel. Literally following Bush era policies in the Middle East.
Completely irrelevant. Nobody prizes it. Everyone just is aware that it's the best realistic outcome that election can have.
Third party is statistically impossible, don't lie to yourself. Trump: see meme. Harris: not as bad as Trump.
Unless you're a reactionary or an accelerationist who wants to see everything burn, the choice is clearly Harris.

This is classic liberal brain worm nonsense.
Blue maga cultists world rather blame leftists than get your shitty candidate in line with her genocidal policies.
It's not a difficult situation to resolve: stop supplying Israel with weapons and support.
In southeastern Michigan I have the luxury of voting for candidates at various levels of government who do oppose supplying Israel with weapons.
In the presidential election, where is the leverage?

What 1000 year conflict? The nakba was less than a century ago. Plus "please stop giving 2000 pound bombs to Israel to commit a genocide with" is a very far cry from "please end the Israeli apartheid state".
Memes get a pass when it comes to outright lies... I guess.

Stop killing Palestinians is such a far left position man. I can't even. Americans are effing weird.

Yeah I'm perfectly fine with not being on the same side as people openly embracing Dick Cheney and weird people can't figure out how being active in genocide is bad.
"I'm not going to support Dick Cheney, so I'm going to help the guy even Dick Cheney thinks takes things too far."
And disingenuous people "can't figure out" how not stopping the current weapons sales is still better than giving Israel even more and better weapons and telling them to wipe the place out.

Another post that makes me further double down on voting 3rd party. It is because of this mentality that not enough people vote 3rd party to make a difference. Also, I refuse to reward genocide.
I would also like to add Trump being worse isn't a good argument because this administration has let israel do all it wants and given them every weapon and funding.

Ah yes, opposing genocide is a radical far-left position. Of course.

Western settler-colonialism is not “a 1,000 year conflict.” It’s a modern imperialist project.
