With the anniversary of Oct 7 coming up, I suspect it will be a topic for some friends of mine. Due to some work I’ve done on them over the past year, I think they might actually be amenable to learning more about Palestine and everything that’s happened in the last 100+ years.

The seed you should plant in people’s heads is to say that the OG Zionists were atheist Jews who claimed that the land was given to them by a God they don’t even believe in.
