Jewish on Sidechat | I will say Jewish people have been oppressed for centuries and so visiting Israel is interesting because the whole foundation of the country is for Jews to feel safe. While ofc allowing Christian’s and Muslims to coexist. It’s quite powerful stuff.

It’s a beautiful country with kind people. So arguing that the country should be dismantled is bull.

It’s not about the government or current president or current policies. It’s about the existence of a settler colony in the first place. The idea of Jewish nationalism in historic Palestine necessarily requires either the murder or displacement of Palestinians for the settler colony to exist. 80 years ago and today. All settler colonies must be dismantled before democracy is possible. Incl the US

Yeah but like you don’t get to come back thousands of years later and ethnically cleanse the land to get it back just to feel “safe”

The Holocaust was an incredibly valid reason to create a Jewish state.

OP 1w

do you support Land Back for indigenous nations given the holocaust they endured under settler colonialism? what about Black nationhood and reparation for chattel slavery and genocide? or is it only Israel that deserves reparation for the crimes committed by supremacist states?
