    “Not all jewish people are Israelis so it would be anti-semitic to start hating random jews over this. It’s correlation not causation.”

    “Yes, that makes sense and is fair. However, I can say that Israel as a country is being pretty fucking awful and since they’re separate things then I should be able to criticise one while leaving the other out of it.”

    “No, now you’re being anti-semitic.”

    It’s like, pick one.

      That’s a hot take, I’m interested to see how that works out for you.

      I always debate with myself whether it’s worthwhile to weigh in on these things because no matter what opinion you have there’s a group of very opinionated people who will disagree with you, despite not being involved in the conflict and having no personal stake in the outcome.

      All I’ll say on the matter is: are we not passed the point of killing eachother for land/resources? No? Alright then.

      Wow you are missing a lot of history, over a dozen civilizations had that land before the Palestinians. Why does it not belong to them?

        Before the Palestinians? Who do you think Palestinians are? Do you think they’re a new group of people that took the land recently? Different groups of come into conquer the region but the residents were still them. That’s how migration waves work. Especially in this region considering mostly it’s not people settling in the area it’s just people ruling the area from afar. Hell they are a Semitic people.

    Israel’s right to exist is almost as valid as Taiwan’s, and they’re both nearly as valid as Palestine’s right to exist.
