> so-called “Israel”

What’s with the ‘so-called’? That’s what the country is called. Israel. But I’m not sure that you’re aware but there was a really big one 25 years ago this coming September. Maybe you heard of it?

u/fortran77 used the phrase so-called “Palestinian” movement (slightly edited since), so I simply responded with the same rhetoric :)

Of course, I somehow doubt that you would have a similarly strong reaction when Palestine is erased.

No that was because they hate our freedom, not because of decades of occupation and war all over the middle east funded by US taxpayer dollars.
