  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.
