Can someone explain to me why ā€˜Free Palestine’ = Jewish hate?

Hey Bob, if you don’t want to free the Palestinian people, could you please also explain to me what you’d prefer to do with them?

I will explain to you - although I do want Palestinians to have their freedom & self determination, this should not come at the cost of the Jewish state and its people. Most people who just say the two words ā€œFree Palestineā€ can’t comprehend holding two truths at the same time and want to dissolve Israel as the Jewish state for the Palestinians.

Not wanting a Jewish state = Jewish hate as you don’t believe they have a right to a country where they should feel safe after all the prosecutions. Also it happens to be their ancestral land.

You can call for a free Palestine and self determination of Palestinians while also calling for the safety and self determination of Israel and its Jews, which he hasn’t done.
