We are watching millions of lives being asphyxiated between the ocean and barbed wire fences, all to appease a people who have spent their lives waiting for this moment with bated breath.
Of course not, but when someone says that “a people has waited with bated breath for this moment” it sounds a lot like you’re insinuating that jews wanted all of this to happen.

What do you mean when you say “a people”?
He means the Jews. One good thing about this whole fiasco is it’s made the antisemites take their masks off.
Do you think disagreeing with Israeli committing genocide on Palestine because of the atrocities of Hamas means you’re an antisemite?

A specific subset of jews, the Zionists, did. But the average Jew definitely condemns the violence and killing, even if not all of them do
I took the ‘a people’ to mean the Israelis who have seized this opportunity.
“A people” is a way of referring to a group of people, a society. You could be more specific and say “the Jewish people” but it’s the same usage.
Someone in fact called Palestine “A land without a people for a people without a land.”
Is it making more sense now?
*fixed autocorrect error
You couldn’t say that.
You could say “the Israeli people”. What is going on here is not the actions of Jewish people.
Okay sure.
