One significant difference, though, is that you can’t blame a jewish Israeli for being born in Israel. In that sense they’re much different than the Western muslims who moved to ISIS territory.
Maybe Israel shouldn’t have existed in 1948, but we have to deal with the fact that it does.
That does of course not excuse West Bank colonialism and apartheid. But if I had a workable solution to that I’d not be writing Lemmy comments on the shitter.
You would have to define what a real country is, and how it is not the same as the geopolitical status quo of Israel. By any useful contemporary definition Israel is a country.
Claims in religious texts don’t mean anything if you cannot independently verify them. What matters is what people (with some power) believe, and a lot of people do believe it does and ought to exist. Enough for it to exist anyway.
There is nothing more anti-semitic than Zionists using the good Jewish name to shield them against criticism of the genocide they are committing.
Israel is like the ISIS for Jews. Dragging their name through the mud while doing things that are completely against their book.
