None of these antisemites dogpiling him in the replies and this thread would ever go this far over a muslim or arab star visiting, say, Saudi Arabia or UAE, and making it out like visiting there was a positive endorsement of everything that state has ever said or done. But Jewish stars like Gal Gadot and now, Noah Schnapp are held to another standard while the only difference is their Jewish background and faith. Who the hell you talking to because I said nothing of the sort.
style17 Posted July 23, 2023 Posted July 23, 2023 Good. Being a Zionist is perfectly correct as a Jew, as the alternative is to be brutally slaughtered in a Holocaust or kicked out of the Arab countries around Israel. Twinks on ATRL i’m sure have a perfectly reasonable understanding of the conflict though! What is your solution for Jews if it is not to remain in Israel? Please don’t quote me unless you are willing to give one. 3 3

Is this suggesting the Jewish population of Israel would rather leave sacred lands than co-exist amongst non-Jewish populations if those people happen to make up a larger portion of the population than them? No longer maintaining an artificial Jewish ethno-state =/= the expulsion of Jewish people from the land. The resolution would be to remain where they are, as the UN tried to mediate until Zionist militias assassinated Folke Bernadotte, a UN diplomat. Again, this rhetoric knowingly runs into the problem that even the UN made it clear one of the requirements for a two-state solution is for the right of return for millions of Palestinian refugees. That it is fine for the number of Palestinians to out-number the population of Israel and that Israel stop expanding its borders. Because that's how Zionism calls for the eradication of the Palestinian people - it's the hope that you can displace a population outside of the borders of their home and essentially make them stateless. Get rid of any collective of Palestinians, and suddenly there is no Palestine. If there is no longer a Palestine, there is then no Palestinian people. There's just then disparate groups pushed into the borders of Jordan, and Syria, and Egypt, and Lebanon, etc. "A land with no people for a people with no land." - Zionism's own Manifest Destiny. Trying to argue that anti-Zionism - the rejection of a Jewish ehtno-state - is antisemitic would mean that everything those within the Israeli government have done for decades to appear more moderate ("this is not apartheid, we don't want violence, we want a two-state solution!") would be a complete lie.

Israel currently has several hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with full rights. Israel has been willing to make a two state solution many times. Would a state under Palestinian control/majority really give Jews rights when every other Arab country brutally kicked them out? You’re just an anti-semitic joke. 1 2

ZIVERT Posted July 23, 2023 Posted July 23, 2023 Also, the same people that defended Russia’s excuse for invading Ukraine need to stop gaslighting people. Ukraine is not sending missiles into Russia proper AT ALL (let alone civilian centers), all of the fighting is being done on Ukrainian territory. The same people using that argument to defend Hamas’ terrorism don’t even think Ukraine has the right to exist in complete freedom, so please come up with a better argument 1 3

Well, "anti-Zionists" say its because they want to eliminate the Jewish state (which is the only state on Earth they talk about like this) which not so coincidently sounds like the anti-Semitic version that wanted to just eliminate Jewish people. We're all supposed to sit around and pretend that's not on accident, I guess. It's just a thinly veiled acceptable progressive version of old antisemitic tropes. Nothing new, same old ****. 2 4

There's no faster way to prove that Zionism is not an indigenous movement than to reveal you believe settler nations as legal entities and the people who live within them are one-in-the-same and calls to end a Zionist Israel are calls to somehow end the existence of the people of Israel in itself. Do you think Native Americans seek the subjugation of 300M Americans? That First Nations people seek the subjugation of 38M Canadians? You out yourself as thinking the goal of Zionist Israel should be the subjugation of the Palestinian people by assuming the end of such subjugation would only result in the inverse. What do you suppose it says when the reasoning for why Palestinians can never be given equality is the same "vengeful savage" narrative given by Afrikaners and Rhodesians before the end of their settler state experiments? Why do you think Americans would not address the foreign policy elephant of Israel when it commands so much disproportional undeserved positive attention from US politicians? The Israel government murdered an American journalist last year. Last week, Congress just issued a bipartisan resolution deeming it a form of bigotry for a Congresswoman to refer to Israel as a racist nation. Would such resolutions be made for similar killers of US citizens like the KSA? Edited July 23, 2023 by Communion 3
