All Jews must kill Zionism within Judaism

I also reject the framing of “Israel makes Jews unsafe/increases antisemitism” because: (1) we’re the oppressors in the context of Israel, not the victims; (2) this framing abdicates Jewish responsibility because ‘Israel’ is not an amorphous self-animating thing that merely hovers over us, it is a colony that we as Jews actively build and sustain daily through concerted generational effort; (3) that’s not “antisemitism” it’s a reaction to Jewish-led genocide which all our institutions support; (4) you’re conceding to the propaganda that there is a “rise in antisemitism” when Jews currently do not face systemic oppression for being Jewish and the “antisemitic incidents” data is tracked such that every anti-zionist protest sign is clocked as a separate “antisemitic incident” by the ADL so; (5) enough with the Jewish victimhood, “Jewish safety” and “antisemitism” talk, it’s just a distraction from Jewish-perpetrated genocide of Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims.

    I’ve not personally seen or heard a large contingent arguing otherwise. I’m sure you can find people who would argue otherwise, but you can find people who would argue the world is flat. Determining what percentage of people believe that position seems hard, but purely anecdotally I don’t think it’s many.

    Lol. Well now I know you’re being dishonest.

    Further research doesn’t adequately support the stance.

    Maybe you should have done that research before repeating falsehoods?

    I meant “unclaimed” in the sense of not having a legitimized government. I realize this descends into a debate about the legitimacy of Hamas or the PLO, and to what degree those were successfully operating as a cohesive state, and to what degree it was their fault if they weren’t. I’ll address this more in a later point.

    “Obviously the savages can’t be allowed to govern themselves!”

    You really are just an old school colonialist.

    My gut is that

    Don’t care.

    but your last point just sounds like a Zionist talking point flipped around. How do you expect a state to exist when it has thousands of armed militants operating within its borders?

    Ok, just keep demonstrateing that you’re talking in obvious bad faith I suppose.

    It’s not an easy problem for anybody, which is why it hasn’t been solved anytime in the past century.

    No. That’s not why it hasn’t been solved, and you know it.

    It’s worth noting that neither of the first two options can work at all with the only two players at the table being Israel and Palestine.

    Yeah, but one can work without a massive military campaign to remove hundreds of thousands of armed squatter extremists.

      Tough to follow the thread when my old comments keep getting removed, lol.

      You keep accusing me of dishonesty, which I’m genuinely not being, but I don’t think I’m going to change your opinion of me.

      You did point out I was incorrect on something and I verified it and affirmed that you were correct. I’m not sure what else you want from me there.

      However, if we’re accusing each other of arguing in bad faith, I think it’s pretty clear I wasn’t saying, “the savages can’t govern themselves.” We don’t need to resort to flagrant misrepresentation. I think I’ve attempted to approach your position charitably and engage with it in a respectful manner.

      I did struggle to figure out what exactly it is you’re arguing for in the last block of quotes. Do you think that reconciliation between Israel and Palestine is actually an easy problem that can be achieved without outside influence? Looking back I don’t know that you’ve established what you think should be done to resolve all this.
