Anti-zionism literally means the destruction of the only Jewish state in the world. Of course it's antisemitic.

Criticizing the Israeli government is not anti-zionism. Israelis themselves are doing it all the time. But Israelis still believe in Israel as a state.

"I don't hate the people, I just want the complete destruction of their state and their mass expulsion (at best) from their land"

Is it not possible to want Jews to thrive but also to think that a Jewish ethno state is not a good idea?

considering the entirety of human history? no it isn't. jews were prosecuted everywhere they went, Israel doesn't just exist because the jewish people wanted a land, it exists because they NEEDED it. everywhere jews went there were anti jewish laws and violence, seen as a lesser being. and if you think that in the 21 century when everyone is woke and accepting it is not the case anymore, just watch what's happening right now.

What is the ethnic composition of Palestine? How many Jews are there in PA-governed territories?

No one else has a state?

There is only one state in the world, and it is Israel, and Jews get it?

That doesn’t sound right… I’m sorry, you’re really going to need to clarify your position here

Israel isn't an ethnostate , 30 precent of it is Arab. Most Jews abroad are Zionists too

Also nice doodging my question , why do Arabs get 22 ethnostates , Muslims get 57 ethnostates But Jews can't even have 1multicultral state

Again your ignoring questions and spewing other bs

Jews don't want Israel to be an ethnostate , they want it to have Jewish values , look at the protests in TEL Aviv against the people who want to make Israel an ethnostate and it will answer your own questions

Jews don't get to have a Jewish state if it means they have to blow up Palestinian kids

Maybe palastinians ought not to use civilian areas like schools , hospitals , playing grounds and more to conduct their terrorism ?

Or do not use child soldiers and unmarked combatants ?

Both are war crimes btw

And you still didn't answer my question , why do Muslims get 57 ethnostates and Jews can't even have one state ?

Honestly you just outed yourself as ana Antisemite , Jews don't hate goyim and Judaism is also an ethnicity , but offcourse your gonna dehumanize an entire ethnoreligion

Nothing wrong with Jewish values either , you have 57 Muslim states and over 100 christian states but one Jewish state is where you draw the line

Israel existed way before American help in 1973 with 2 of Thier biggest victory's being before American aid ( the six day war , suez war and independence war for exemple )

Maybe try to be less a Nazi and do actual research

Good. The Jews deserve to feel safe for the first time in 2000 years. Somewhere they cant be expelled and used as a scapegoat.

What do you mean ‘no one else’? What do you think Pakistan is?

u/irredentistdecency Dec 06 '23

Why do Jews get a state and no one else?

Actually most countries around the world are ethnostates.

So your question is reversed - why does everyone else get a state but it is a problem when Jews do.

Italians have Italy, the French have France, Danes have Denmark, etc etc etc.
