    That’s not the argument in either of these cases. We should not purge Jews from Palestine, but we should destroy and dismantle the state of Israel. Jews have lived there peacefully with Muslims for hundreds of years until the west stole land from the Palestinians to give create Israel and watched as the Israeli government committed part one of their genocide decades ago. Now the state of Israel is finishing the job.

      Okay, well, short of waving a magic wand, dissolving the state of Israel isn’t going to end with everyone joining hands and singing kumbaya.

      Oh, the West stole the land from the Palestinians, did we? Jesus Christ. I don’t even know where to begin.

        Yeah, do you not know how Israel was formed? The western European powers stole land from Palestinians to form the state of Israel. It’s extremely well documented and was done at the behest of Zionists and also gave the Nazis exactly what they had originally wanted in the lead up to WWII. Israel is not a Jewish project, but, in fact, a Zionist project.

          Yes, as I matter of fact, I do. Apparently, you don’t and think Israel came into existence in 1948 by the West sending its supersoldiers to seize land from the helpless Palestinians. The arrival of Jewish settlers in the Levant in the early 20th century is extremely well-documented - and not at the behest of the West. I don’t see the point in discussing the history of the region, though, with someone with such a basic lack of understanding of the previous disenfranchisement of Palestinian peasantry under the Ottoman Empire which enabled the arrival of Jewish settlers who purchased land. Unless the Ottoman Empire is also the evil West to you.

          Israel is not a Jewish project, but, in fact, a Zionist project.

          All Zionist projects are Jewish projects, though the reverse isn’t true. By fucking definition. Come on.
