Comment on If Hitler’s genocide helped forge Israel, what will grow from today’s persecution of trans people?

again, what does any of that have to do with 1917? I’m confused

In 1917 belfour assured zionists that they will have their state. A state that couldn’t been build without ethenic cleansing. It makes zero sense to compared israel which are presecuting palestinians to trans people who are getting persecuted.

I believe the point they’re trying to make is that where the will to forge Israel came from the genocide of WWII, the idea for Israel and the Zionists pre-date WWII.
