I am pretty happy about the fact that I taught somebody five days ago of the Palestinians’ Jewish heritage. She had also been under the mistaken impression that they were simply the descendants of some Arab tribe that moved in shortly after the Roman Empire expelled the Jewish population, and when I showed her the reality, she was fascinated.

Funny story about my source of inspiration: out of boredom, I looked into archived /pol/ threads (which I don’t recommend doing, by the way, especially with images turned on) where some antisemites wrote off the Palestinians as being Jewish. Then I did the same thing on X (formerly known as Twitter) and found others doing it, though some users actually brought up the fact in good faith and offered evidence for it. That was what really sparked my interest.
