Would you only accept them if they were willing to denounce an integral part of their religious or ethnic identity?
If an integral part of their religion was committing genocide, yes I would absolutely not accept them. I’d probably say with them. Fortunately a lot of Jewish people have figured out how to be Jewish without the whole genocide thing. Wild how that works.
Strictly, Zionism is opposed to religious Judaism, which is very clear on the Jews not being allowed to have a Jewish state in Eretz Yisrael until the Messiah comes (it’s why most orthodox Jews are against it by default).
i’m not very up on my differences between the torah and the christianized old testament, but i’m pretty sure there’s some “god said kill all these people” in there.
of course I haven’t heard of anyone saying palestinians are actually amalekites, and we’ve all seen the video of the israeli cops shoving an old hasidic man protesting the genocide
The argument that apartheid and genocide are vital aspects of Jewish identity is obviously trash, but if we take it seriously, doesn’t it contain an implicit argument that the Nazis conducted the holocaust in self-defense?

Of course it isn’t actually integral, or there wouldn’t be Jewish people protesting israel. Lots of people have one without the other.

If Central americans or Scandinavians or whoever were still doing pagan human sacrifices, I’d definitely say fuck those guys and their religion.
