First, ending an occupation and apartheid is not “changing borders”. You are maliciously oversimplifying the situation in Palestine.

Second, are you seriously saying that people’s feelings have nothing to do with injustices waged upon them by force?

And just to add one thing - the theoretical worsening of a situation in response to ending injustice never justifies the maintaining of said injustice. You can argue this point all you want, but it will never be true.

"Poof[ing] Israel and turned Israel & Palestine into a democracy" literally is.

> are you seriously saying that people’s feelings have nothing to do with injustices waged upon them by force?

Nope.

I'm not talking about justification. Famine is unjustified. The war is unjustified.

I'm saying Y would be worse than X. That is true. It doesn't justify X. But it does make Y stupid.
