A tiny, tiny proportion of Jews who take that view for specific theological reasons. You don’t get to weaponise them in your fight against the Jewish state by acting like they’re representative.
Again, trying to weaponise tiny Jewish fringe groups which represent a tiny fringe of Jewish opinion to attack the Jewish state doesn’t work, and borders on antisemitism.
what i surmise from your approach is that majority rules, and since the majority signs off on imperialism and genocide, the rest of your community is wrong and anyone who takes their view is antisemitic.
There’s no imperialism or genocide in Israel. Jews are indigenous to Israel and the land was partitioned by the United Nations in accordance with international law, just as Pakistan and India were as well as many other states. Only Israel, the only Jewish state on the planet, is treated this way. Not hard to guess why. If the Palestinians hadn’t declared war in 1948, 1967, 1972, then the First and Second Intifadas, now the October 7th Holocaust, they’d have their own state by now. Unforuntately, they’ve shown repeatedly that they cannot yet be trusted to run a nation-state with military capabilities. The Denazification process of Palestine would have to be given time to work through first, just like it did in Germany after the Second World War.
yes there is. they are systematically dispossessing the palestinian people of their homes and killing them indiscriminately. they are witholding food, clean water, and medical supplies. it’s a genocide and it’s being executed by an imperialist arm of britain (and the us).
hey are systematically dispossessing the palestinian people of their homes and killing them indiscriminately.
If they were killing indiscriminately the war would have been over within a week.
The occupation of the West Bank and illegal settlements are a disaster, a moral catastrophe, and one of the major roadblocks to peace between Israel and Palestine. It’s to the eternal shame of Netanyahu and his far-right allies that they haven’t been put a stop to.
they are witholding food, clean water, and medical supplies.
This isn’t true. There are multiple entry-points into Gaza and have been for weeks. The problem is a lack of international aid and the difficulty in distributing it within Gaza, because Hamas repeatedly steal the resources before it can get into civilian hands.
it’s a genocide and it’s being executed by an imperialist arm of britain (and the us).
they shut off the water. they blockaded the ports. they struck a bakery after the grain had reached it. you and i must have disparate definitions of “true”.
Nobody questions Pakistan or India’s right to exist, even though they were created the same way as Israel was, and with significantly more bloodshed and loss of life – millions dead, in fact – and on the basis of religious faith. There’s hardly any Hindus left in Pakistan, but about 20% of Israel are Arabs including Druze, Christians, Muslims, Atheists, and nomadic Bedouins. They serve at every level of the country – from courts to the Knesset, enjoy the exact same set of civil rights as any other citizen of Israel including the right to vote, uniquely among any country in the Middle East.
The reason is that Israel is a Jewish state, and people hate Jews.
i mean fuck the media. corporate media can all die in a fire. i think there is some legitimacy to the argument that this conflict (and others in israel) recieve a disproportionate amount of coverage. that, of course, would lead to more discussions of the validity of their state. but i assure you my stance on the existence of any state starts with “states are tools of oppression”.
The reason is that Israel is a Jewish state, and people hate Jews.
you’re wrong. i oppose nation states and i have particular issues with each of them. we’re discussing israel right now so you’re going to hear my specific problems with israel.
is that what you tell the antizionist Jews?
A tiny, tiny proportion of Jews who take that view for specific theological reasons. You don’t get to weaponise them in your fight against the Jewish state by acting like they’re representative.
holy fuck imagine writing all these words in this order and not realising what you’re doing.
is that what you say to jewish anarchists?
Again, trying to weaponise tiny Jewish fringe groups which represent a tiny fringe of Jewish opinion to attack the Jewish state doesn’t work, and borders on antisemitism.
i’d say claiming zionism is identical with judaism is antisemitic.
what i surmise from your approach is that majority rules, and since the majority signs off on imperialism and genocide, the rest of your community is wrong and anyone who takes their view is antisemitic.

Ugh
this smacks of “it can’t be genocide because population has grown”.
they literally shot the hostages they say the want freed.
they shut off the water. they blockaded the ports. they struck a bakery after the grain had reached it. you and i must have disparate definitions of “true”.
this isn’t a rebuttal.
i don’t know what you mean. please say it.
Antisemitism.
No Jews, no news.

i do. lots of people do. but it’s convenient to ignore them and pretend to be a victim.
