Typical hasbarat – roundly defeated on the facts, so, just ridicules the idea of using sources rather than pulling things out of one's rear end. And then, off to new talking points.

Yes, it certainly is about land. And it is also about religion, but only in the sense that one small minority religious group was turned into a large minority group by the British invaders, who broke the terms of the League of Nations mandate which required them to bring the people of the land (not unwelcome hostile immigrants) to the point where they could govern themselves. They denied the Palestinians the self-rule they were entitled to until that religious minority was large enough to take over the country by force. And that group then set up a regime in that land which gave automatic citizenship to their own co-religionists, while denying it to the indigenous people of other religions. THAT is what makes it a religious dispute – explicit Jewish supremacism. Do you really expect the Muslims and Christians to ignore the criteria on which they are relegated to third-class citizenship or no citizenship at all in their own ancestral lands?

The relevant land is the land that the racist settler state has ethnically cleansed, or rules over with a worse-than-apartheid regime. That land happens to correspond with historical Palestine, and that is what makes the Palestinian identity (which has always existed) particularly salient now. The same way that the identity of the people of Aquitaine would become particularly salient if some group in London claimed descent from the medieval people of Aquitaine and conquered the province, forcing out or repressing the French people living there. A strong Aquitanian identity would rapidly develop among the dispossessed, superimposed on their French identity. If you came along and said that the Aquitanians had no right to get their land back because their Aquitanian identity had not been very salient before their dispossession, you would rightly be decried as mad. Well, the situation is the same with the Palestinians, except that their identity has always been stronger than that of the Aquitanians. For instance they form an identifiable genetic group in the way the Aquitanians don't, being largely the direct descendants of the ancient peoples of Palestine. (They are in a genetic cluster with Misrahi Jews, who also have genuine genetic roots in the area, but that cluster is more distant from other Jewish and Arab populations.)

And thank you for your concern about my safety. I will be careful not to fall into the hands of the international terrorist groups that do that sort of thing. In fact, I will in general try to avoid the sort of areas where your side’s artificial proxies are able to make life hell for all the normal decent Christians, Muslims and Jews that try to make their countries prosper in peace, instead of bringing them to chaos in the American or Israeli interest. Mixing with people in the Resistance would definitely not be a worry. I have seen videos of the carol concerts given by Lebanese Christians to honour their Hezbollah friends and defenders.
