  • What about slavery in the US? Are black Americans not still suffering from the effects of slavery generations past even though they’re not actively enslaved today?

    You can’t ignore the bigger picture. The contention between Jewish and Arab people has never ended. It has only evolved. WWI ended only 100 years ago (Oppression by Ottomans). Holocaust survivors are still alive and many living in Israel. They also experienced the Arab Israeli war and other aggression from surrounding Arab countries.

    When does an oppressed group stop being oppressed? They can both be oppressed and do bad things.

    Not sure how you can say that. The Ottoman Empire and British Mandate Palestine are directly related to regions that are currently Israel and contained Jewish people who had been oppressed in that area and who were being oppressed in other places like Germany and had migrated there.

    The point being that you can’t excuse violence that affects innocent people just because they are part of an oppressed group.
