  What choice is there?

  The large majority of them were born and raised there, and a lot of them truly want peace and prosperity. If their democracy were functioning well then cruel people like Netanyahu would not be able to cling to power for so long, and especially not after his trials.

  To ask every Israeli to leave or die is not different than the gaza genocide.

    Well just because apartheid south Africa or nazi Germany got dismantled it doesn’t mean that everyone living there suddenly ceased to exist.

    A state is an imaginary construct and as such can cease to exist without the actual human being‘s phyiscal existence being affected by that.

      “The entire concept of” South Africa and Germany still exist. The comment you made above says

      Israel is a colonialist entity committing crimes against humanity such as but not limited to genocide and apartheid fuck 100% the entire concept of it.

      Implying you think it and its people should stop existing.

        So look at Rhodesia to Zimbabwe, if you want a new state that arose from the destruction of the settler-colonist state prior.

    Yes, but only one of the two is happening irl, the other one is a hypothetical.

    Also hippies protested more in the USA against Vietnam killings.

      There ARE massive protests in Israel about this specific topic. It just doesn’t make the news for obvious reasons, kinda like the absolutely gigantic protests here in the US don’t make the news.

      For you to say “I want to eradicate this people” is not nuanced based on which people are currently being eradicated. It’s just a stupid and hateful opinion.

  Israel is a colonist entity just like the USA, Canada, Australia, new Zealand, Argentina, Brazil, etc etc. When the original Israelites arrived there thousands of years ago they colonised it and drove out whoever was there first, they were then driven out by the Arabs who were driven out by the Ottomans who were driven out by the British, who ceded it to the Arabs and Jews who will likely both get invaded by the Turks to “restore peace”. It’s a cursed piece of land. But, you can’t remove it, because the Israelis have hidden a bunch of nukes all around the world as an insurance policy.
