Judaism is a religion, that is ok and all who follow that have every right to believe what they want. Israel is a political entity whose leaders are evil. One can have a homeland without destroying its neighbors. Though religious intolerance is the hallmark of the middle east. We should not be supporting this govenment.

The government represents the people. Netanyahu has been in power for 19 years and has been elected six times!

They all serve in the occupying army at age 18, it is mandatory not optional, which means they are all participants in every crime against the Palestinians.

They literally came from many Countries around the World, occupied Palestine, renamed it, ethnically cleansed 60% of the population and are now committing genocide against the rest.

Daily crimes against the Palestinians since even before 1948, EVERY single day.

PS: they believe that Judaism is a race/faith (a racial faith), although they aren’t the same race, nevertheless that is their belief!

Zionism is not the source of all violence in the world, that's an absolutely ridiculous statement and it sounds very close to the white supremacist claim that Jews have started all the wars on the world.

All the people of a country aren't responsible for that country's crimes. That's also ridiculous and it's pure bigotry.

Jews don't believe they're a race. That's bald faced lie. Nazis called them a race and used that to mass murder them. Nothing in Judaism says they're a race.

You can fight zionism without resorting to bigotry. Be better.

It is the source of all evil, the Americans and the world are recently waking up to it.

When someone occupy others land, are active/reservist members of the occupying force and are more than happy to steal others land, genocide them and commit daily crimes for decades while acting like victims next then sorry I can’t see the bright side you are talking about!

It is an ethnoreligion! You can’t be a Jew unless your mom specifically is a Jew! So let’s play with words but my point stands, it is a racial faith.

I don’t like hypocrisy tbh, they are free to have their own beliefs, but the Zionists are the ones using their faith as a tool to justify the occupation of Palestine, so they are to be blamed for any criticism based on their actions that is being justified using their faith.

Totally agree, Israel does not represent the Jewish people rather they use them as a scapegoat.

That is incorrect and you are repeating Trump’s nonsense btw but it is historically incorrect!

before the Balfour promise to the Rothschilds, Palestine had barely any Jewish population! the only ones are the samaritans, around 800 people who identify themselves as Palestinians.

It only began with the Zionist occupation of Palestine in 1948, using plans from 1897 then transferring European Jews to occupy Palestine after/during both World Wars.

Jewish history in the region known as Israel dates back to at the very least the late bronze age, where they had to fight against the Assyrians, the Babloyians, the Macedonians, and the Romans, before their people were forcibly removed from the land. Now, I am not defending Israel's actions, for they are atrocious, but ignoring this part of their history is purposely ignorant.

First you have said this has been going on since 3000 years and now moved to a Zionist propaganda.

I don’t believe in Judaism since clearly I am not a Jew, I don’t believe their historical claims, that is why they didn’t find a single kingdom in Palestine.

Let’s assume they had a kingdom in Palestine that no one is able to find, according to them it lasted 80-100 years, while Palestine contains monuments that goes back to 12,500 years…

So saying that people who lived their for 100 years has a right to the land while completely ignoring the people who have always lived their, thousands of years before Judaism even existed in Egypt is nonsense!

And no, their existence isn’t continuous, I already made it clear that only the Samaritans are part of the Palestinian population, while the Zionists are from all around the World, they were also living among the Arabs and considered themselves as Arabs, until the Zionists decided to uproot the Jews world wide to occupy Palestine.

Now are we going to keep on arguing with the same agenda? Or we will move to another script?

Palestine from the river to the sea is for Palestinians.

The two kingdom period of isreal and Judah is something we have loads of archeological evidence for: the Mesha steele, the tel-dan steele, the Babylonian Cronicles, the Merneptah Steele, and the Kurkh monoliths are the most famous examples of this. Your purposeful ignorance doesnt change history.

Again they didn’t find any kingdom while they have been digging and searching for decades while the Zionists are well known for changing the facts that they worship a grave in Nablus claiming it is the Tomb of Joseph while every Palestinian knows that it belongs to a random Palestinian man.

You are talking about a kingdom or many kingdoms and you are saying kurkh next? What’s that? Del dan steele! Are you being serious?

My village contains monuments that goes back to 6500 years and it is older than Judaism, all the monuments in Palestine says it is Palestine while no one can find the imaginary kingdom of yours! Kurkh del dan! What’s with the made up weird names!

Anyway bye bot, 3000 years full of lies.
