❝ The clearest example of that is the #Nakba in 1948: Armed Israeli forces expelled & displaced most of the Palestinian people from their homeland, destroyed hundreds of villages to their foundations, and confiscated homes & land for the purpose of “Judaizing the country” ❞

    Israel does not equal Judaism/Jewish people. I’d argue that claim is antisemitic because that would mean that murder, rape, racism, apartheid, colonialism, theft, etc are somehow traits inherent to Jewish people.

      Nonetheless when you call for an end to Israel, you are calling for the genocide or displacement of millions of Jewish people, so you come across as antisemitic. You may think Israel doesn’t have a right to exist, but it’s been around for many decades and for generations - it’s not going anywhere. And calling for it’s destruction only mutes your voice as you come across as a violent extremist and only enforce Israel’s arguments for why they need to continue their war on Gaza. It would be much more productive to call for human rights to be respected, for a ceasefire, for return of hostages/prisoners, etc.

        Israelis are not victims, they are mostly European colonists who have been raping and pillaging since 1947. I don’t give a rats ass if you, a zionist, think that’s antisemitism. You’ve played that card out and are the reason for actual danger to Jewish people worldwide because it is now a meaningless word.

          But what do you see as a path forward? If you want the destruction of Israel, the genocide of Jews, then they will be victims; they are rightly fearful of giving up any power. If you want a two state solution with a peaceful border, then say so and stop sounding like an extremist - it only weakens your voice.

            I never said genocide of jews, you keep saying that. There shouldn’t be a two state solution, Europeans should learn to stay home instead of wreaking havoc in others homes. The best path forward would look similar to Germany after ww2. This includes prosecution of military, civic, and civilian offenders. Any “dual” citizens sent back to their countries of origin because they are literally just colonizers and have no actual ties to the land. Then a government not predicated on race established with equal rights for everyone, restoration of stolen property, and reperations made. If some bad shit happens to some folks who participated in/supported the terrorist ethnostate, I’ll have zero sympathy. You reap what you sow.
