    Israel does not have a right to exist.

    This is like saying unions don’t have the right to exist because of police unions. Don’t let the existence of corruption rob an entire group of the right to exist. If Israel didn’t exist, every country would go right back to treating Jews the way they’ve always treated them. Demand the downfall of the ethnonationalists, not the nations being used to justify ethnonationalism.

      What a fucking joke. The world persecuted Jews is the reason they have to genocide, ethnically cleanse, and colonize Palestine?

      Do Palestinians get to choose a people to do that to? When do we stop with this stupid loop?

      Bull fucking shit. Israel is stolen land, taken during the Nakba after Palestinians were kind enough to welcome Jewish refugees from Europe. It has no fucking right to exist any more than the US or any other conquering nation does.

        To which date, specifically, should we reset nations and borders, in your opinion?

          Pedantic argument. There’s no specific date to “reset”. You and I are both well aware of who is an oppressor and who the land was stolen from.

          Land back to all Native peoples, fuck the Eurocentric hegemony created by European imperialism.

              The fucking Palestinians with genetic markers VERIFIABLY TRACEABLE back 2000 yrs. Did you know most Israelis are allergic to the native olive trees and most Palestinians aren’t? That’s because most Israelis are GENETICALLY EUROPEAN.

                That’s very interesting, I didn’t know that.

                If I’m following correctly, the solution would be to redraw the borders of the region and only permit those without an olive tree allergy, through genetic testing? I don’t think that’s really effective because it’d be a lot of work and probably result in a lot of false positives and false negatives. Is there another way we can identify who actually belongs there? What do we do with the rest of them?

      Terrible example! Israel is intertwined with the worst most violent and intrusive components of policing. They use Palestine as a laboratory to run experiments about how to oppress people. A key component of a global network of repression and imiseration. It is one of the ways the evil project is insinuated into everybody’s lives, even if you do not consider Arabs to be full humans. Which is a required assumption to be writing comments such as the above.

      Abolish the police and abolish Israel.

      bullshit, jews already live all over the world and antisemitism was well under control until Israel’s current government decided to speedrun their palestinian genocide
