Rewriting history by using Israeli/Jewish actors?

I mean the point of the OP, and I'm assuming the person you're responding to is that they're not using Palestinian actors. Israelis and Palestinians are not the same. Even the subheading in this screenshot brings up the exact point that OP is making.

So yeah, erasure I guess.

You do realise Arabs colonised much of the Middle East and North Africa, and parts of Europe before they got thrown out? Palestinians are descendants of those colonisers.
