who needs to do the Palestinians right in ur eyes? just the Israelis who were alive 70 years ago? or every civilian of Israel? does the 19-year-old whose never left tel aviv need to spend the next twenty years paying her share $5000 due to the next gov’t of palestine? how will this work? literally all yall do is speak vibes w/ no realistic thought
Ur assertion that benefit alone creates personal liability is wrong, unsound & straight up perilous because moral and legal culpability require agency — intent, participation, control — rather than just inheriting the circumstances. Attributing individual debt for historical wrongs is punishment innocents who have done nothing to deserve punishing. You are arguing for the collective punishment of an entire group of people. You’re no better than the Israeli oppressors.
Yeah, it is pretty uncomfortable, #3. I learned our history here in the U.S.; I learned when our government taxed Black Americans more for just being Black; I learned when our government detained Japanese civilians for just being Japanese. I consider collective punishment to be horrible. I’m surprised you don’t.
