Sounds like something an antisemite would say!

Haven't they heard, according to Zionists only Jewish people have a right to live on their ancestral lands.

It's not that different from Christians condemning Christians in other countries for committing genocide. In theory a good religion demands people speak out against atrocities, no matter who is committing them.

I can always depend on you to not be a shitty person thank you so much because the amount of people I used to respect I've seen denying/justifying this makes me lose hope not just as a person but specifically as a jew. Saw a twitter post of yours from 2014 where you said something similar thank fuck

jdaviswriter.bsky.social•426 days ago

It's a go-to thing. And it's not just antisemitism that's a symptom of a deeper problem.
This hyper-conservative attitude to cut down to the bare bones of EVERYTHING now creates a backlash because it's not dealing with the complexities. You're with me or against me attitude is destroying alliances.

It's a growing sentiment https://bsky.app/profile/showyourwork.universityofaustin.net/post/3kftf73nat22l

What filth. Israel has no problem with Palestinians living in the Levant. Nearly 20% of Israelis are ethnically Palestinian. That's nearly as many Palestinians in Israel as in Gaza. And most of the Palestinians living in Israel have Israeli citizenship.

How many Jews live in Palestine?

The situation was on the brink of being resolved when the 2-state solution was turned down by Palestinian leaders years ago. The far-right radical Israeli coalition will no longer offer that.

I'm by no measure a supporter of Israel and their indiscriminate killing of civilians in Gaza. I am Jewish

kaelik.bsky.social•426 days ago

There was never a 2 state solution on the table at any point except when the Palestinians offered it and Israel rejected it:

flawedhowl.bsky.social•426 days ago

Maybe that's because Israel has made it abundantly clear that it will never respect a two-state solution. You can't resolve a situation when one of the parties will always violate it side of the agreement.

puravidahombre.bsky.social•426 days ago

You'll get no argument from me on that point.

Netanyahu needs to go to prison for his crimes against humanity, the far-right Israeli coalition needs to be toppled, and more reasonable people need to ascend to the control of Israel.

Including bringing Palestinian terrorists to justice.

notfemme.bsky.social•427 days ago

Extrajudicial executions are not "justice"

notfemme.bsky.social•427 days ago

Collective punishment is not justice

epiguy.bsky.social•426 days ago

Precisely - that’s why the terrorists have to be put in front of a court of law and be judged according to proper legal standards.

trashdyke.gay•426 days ago

Bibi Netanyahu should be tried for crimes against humanity.

jelliclealexander.bsky.social•426 days ago

Unfortunately they don’t hang at The Hague.

trashdyke.gay•426 days ago

Spending his life locked up, knowing he failed, is a pretty good fate for a guy who wants to be a dictator.

notfemme.bsky.social•426 days ago

Sure, but under Netanyahu Israel's judiciary is hopeless compromised and it certainly isn't able to do that for Palestinians.

epiguy.bsky.social•425 days ago

Which is an entirely different issue, indeed, and doesn’t constitute a rationale for not having them tried and judged. Den Haag may be more appropriate anyway, at least for the leaders.

notfemme.bsky.social•425 days ago

i don't think people disagree with stating that those involved in atrocious crimes should be held accountable.

harishevek.bsky.social•427 days ago

If you're from a German-speaking country, and you have the urge to lecture Jewish people on their criticism of Israels government, I would suggest... simply not doing that.

onbluskysku.bsky.social•427 days ago

Austrian spotted

epiguy.bsky.social•426 days ago

Well - firstly I have not defended the unspeakable government of Israel in any way, secondly there are quite a few Jewish people left in German speaking countries like here in Switzerland.

verdantbabble.bsky.social•427 days ago

All religious states should be dissolved!!! The only think that will save us.

mcbooty.bsky.social•273 days ago

all states should be dissolved period IMO all states have a vested interest in a bigoted hierarchical power structure and in occasional to frequent acts of genocide. The US and England for example are non religious states but have a long history of genocide.

shoguncheney.bsky.social•426 days ago

When you're calling for Israel to be destroyed, yes it is. It's our ancestral land too.
