I think there are problems with ethnostates as a whole, but it’d definitely be less problematic if Jews were settling an inhabited region. The problem with Jewish territorialism (of which Zionism is a subset, but it also included the Jewish Autonomous Oblast and proposals for Argentina and Kenya) is that there isn’t anywhere liveable but uninhabited. Someone would have to be displaced or marginalized.
Yeah, it actually is. Discrimination serves a purpose which is to provide a group with a strong sense of community. People like to organize based on shared identity, whether that’s language, religion, and yes, race. Depriving people of that causes them to feel isolated and therefore it’s wrong
