“The resolution suggests that all anti-Zionism—it states—is antisemitism. That’s either intellectually disingenuous or just factually wrong,” said New York Representative Jerry Nadler, who voted present. “The authors if they were at all familiar with Jewish history & culture should know about Jewish anti-Zionism that was and is expressly not antisemitic. This resolution ignores the fact that even today, certain Orthodox Hasidic Jewish communities … have held views that are at odds with the modern Zionist conception.”
So you’re also calling for the destruction of the Arab ethnostates as well? If you’ve got an issue with the country that offers rights to Arabs… then surely you’ve got issues with the surrounding countries that don’t offer rights to people who aren’t Muslim right?
There are over 2 dozen countries that require the head of state to be a certain religion. You’re against those countries existing right? Or is it just the Jewish state? BTW, Israel doesn’t have laws against Arabs being Prime Minister.
Yes? Did you expect me to say no to that?
Lemme just make sure it’s clear, this is not about Israel being Jewish… It’s about them running an open air prison, taking a moral high ground and my country’s relationship with said ethnostate.
Also that verbage, “destruction” is so interesting to me. I don’t remember calling for the destruction of Israel?
I expect you to now start campaigning for the destruction of the Arab world then. Yet it’s clear based on your comment history that’s never occurred to you. Yet another internet hero who’s completely ignorant as to what they’re calling for. The removal of the governments of the entire Arab world. That’s beyond delusional.
If the only advocacy you do is against the lone Jewish state, my initial point applies. You’re only advocating for one here.
Being Anti Zionist is calling for the destruction of the Jewish state. There’s no way around this. Zionism by definition is the movement for the right for the Jewish people to have self determination by the formation of a homeland. If you’re so ignorant as to call for the dissolution of that State and also attempt to argue that wouldn’t lead to the death of Jews in the region then you’re either intentionally ignorant or you’re trolling.
It’s a popular issue being discussed at the top of my feed, of course I have opinions related to it. There aren’t a ton of articles with discussion about other Arab ethnostates running open air prisons on Lemmy, if your feed has some I’d love to hear some suggestions.
You’re trying really hard to paint this as an antisemitic thing when it really just comes down to them being weird as fuck. No country in the world operates in the way they do with as much political power and influence as they do. I don’t even think that’s much of a stretch to say, even Israeli officials confirm it. It’s ultimately a human rights issue, I’m not calling for the destruction of Israel, I’m asking you to not destroy the people within Israel.
You can use history and semantics all you want, but Gaza is the stain on your argument. What’s happening there is awful, period.
