    But would you do with all these people living there for the last fifty years?

    That’s not up to me, is it? That’s for Palestinians and ex-Israelis to decide.

    Would you, like, revoke the citizenship of that country from those born there?

    What would be the point of revoking the citizenship of a state that doesn’t exist any more?

    Would you revoke their property rights to homes they lived in for 20+ years?

    I’m assuming you’re not talking about people like this?

    What did you think we mean when we say Israel is a white supremacist settler colonialist state?

    You’re asking the wrong questions, Clyde. A better question would be… would all the Palestinian villages that the Israelis destroyed and tried to erase from history be rebuilt?

    And are regular people there responible for their country being an apartheid state?

    Yes. To what degree such responsibility extends can be determined on a case by case basis, but the short answer is… yes. For instance, the shareholders in Israeli corporations are vastly, vastly more responsible than simply somebody who was coerced into doing two years of military service in the IDF - and that extends to people outside of Israel, too.
