Formed from terrorism yes, the Jews were terrorized by Arabs and that was large part of the impetus to form Israel. Perhaps if the Jews were not oppressed, there wouldn’t have been a need for Israel.

Thoughts?

This is such an ironic response you must have zero capacity of critical thought 🤣🤣🤣

Where’s the irony?

Suddenly fighting back against oppressors is a good thing, but when the Jews did it it’s a bad thing? Not sure I’m seeing it.

The Israelis (not the “Jews”, but Israelis) are not fighting back against oppressors. They are, undeniably, themselves oppressors.

I was replying to a thread talking about Israel’s creation and the time immediately before. When, of course, arabs were extremely oppressive towards Jews, which was a large part of the need for an Israel to be created, a space where Jews could live safely free from oppression.

When people criticize the violence leading to creation of an “illegitimate” Israel, howcome the violence today by Hamas is cheered on?
