      You recognize Israel thus you defend Israel.

      A state is an instrument of oppression dammit. To recognise “X is a state” is NOT the same as defending X.

      So, again, stop being a liar. (Actually it’s worse, you’re being a dumb fuck.)

        Saying people need to recognize Israel to advance the Palestinia cause is defending Israel. Palestinians do not recognize Israel for a reason.

          To pretend that the state is not there is simply not feasible. It’s wishful belief - this shit harms more than it helps.

          And, again: if you really want to die in this weird hill there are other ways to refer to that power structure, as long as you make sure the zionists can’t distort your discourse from “it should be gone” into “they should be gone”.

          Palestinians do not recognize Israel for a reason.

          If this anyhow helped, we wouldn’t be discussing this. Nor there would be piles of civilian bodies in Gaza, murdered by the state of Israel.
