No, it’s not reductive. Being a targeted minority doesn’t automatically grant you the right to kick people out of their homes in a given arbitraty region at gunpoint.
the entire rest of the world was like, "displaced Jews? Not in my country!
Not really, the communist block was rather accepting of Jewish people. There were plenty of pogroms in tsarist Russia which stopped happening in the USSR, and there was even an Autonomous Jewish Oblast in the USSR at the time.
It is Israel’s fault that this happened, the whole idea of the country basically since its Inception was that of a Jewish ethnostate, which implied kicking people out of their homes, and the state became expansionist so it started illegally and violently colonising land that was already inhabited. The fact that Jewish people have been oppressed for millennia is a fact, but that doesn’t change the fact that the very conception of the modern state of Israel is flawed from the very beginning. And I mostly don’t blame Israeli citizens themselves, since I guess for the most part they were people looking for a place free of oppression, but the modern state of Israel means less oppression for them at the expense of extreme oppression towards native locals, which is absolutely wrong.
