I suppose to the same place Palestinians are supposed to go..

Palestine? That's not moving; they are there now.

Are you aware this is a thread concerning Israeli settler violence? The settlers are not settling on empty land..

I am aware of that.

I responding to a comment suggesting that Israelis (not settlers, but Israelis in general) should move to another place, but the comment did not specify where they should move to. Where is this place that the Israelis can go?

And my response was highlighting the fact that Palestinians are being slowly displaced, with no alternative location to move to.

Right. Just like it makes no sense to suggest the Palestians be moved somewhere else, it makes no sense to suggest the Israelis be moved, for the simple reason that is is not possible.

I feel like people get caught up with notions of what would satisfy their sense of cosmic, historical justice without paying any attention to what can actually be done in reality.

For sure. However, where this tangent started was that GP suggested that the people displacing Israelis would be other more extreme Israelis. Hot take or not, crazy times.

Frankly, current Israel was not really built on top of empty land either.
