    I have never, ever heard of someone calling for the deportation of Israelis. I think anyone who wants that was probably anti-semitic already and has taken the objectively horrific actions of the IDF as a reason to hate Jewish people in general.

    This thread is going so “it’s bad to call for the genocide of israel” i had to re-read the meme.
    It says “expell israelis to europe”… it doesn’t say “kill’em all”, wtf is wrong with this thread? Or am i missing something?

    And no, a one state solution is not possible, as shown after over 70 years. Unless that state was to be ruled and controlled by the UN and all other military forces completely dismantled - so, not gonna happen.
    It would be slightly less unrealistic if the UN was to enforce the Green Line, ensuring the West Bank and Gaza are entirely in control of Palestinians.

    Both fail 'cos the UN has no teeth.

    Full embargo on israel, especially on weapons, could work, but, again, hypocrites of this world won’t let it happen.

    Jewish people and groups around the world need to issue strong rejection of Israel’s actions.

    If they don’t, i’m very concerned that Israel’s crimes will fall back on them in the future.

      Let’s look at sentiment from different groups

      Young and liberal associate them with Israeli genocide.

      Young and conservative is full of full on Nazis.

      Politically they aren’t worth much being concentrated in liberal strongholds.

      When the old folks who are pro Israel go into the grounds dislike will be a rare point of agreement. Not a great position.

            I’m sure contains, though I doubt there’s a complete overlap, not covers for. People who want a literal genocide to end aren’t automatically antisemites or antisemite apologists. Nor are antisemites, especially Trumper antisemites, automatically in favor of Palestine.

            Well yeah, obviously. There are anti-semites everywhere. I meant those whose motivations are “free palestine,” which in my estimate is the main motivation of the free palestine crowd when viewed as a whole – not antisemitism. I don’t mean to say that there don’t exist people who are aligned with free-palestine just because they’re anti-semitic. But there’s no protection from those people either way – so, no downside.

    Unfortunately, the term “antisemitic” no longer has any kind of fixed meaning. I wish that weren’t true, and I think it’s a combination of forces that decided to misuse the word for several decades, that have now led to it being meaningless.

    And you might be tempted to tell me what you think it means, and maybe I could agree with you, but when I turn on the TV tomorrow someone else will be using it in a totally different way that’s inconsistent. Actually I’m kidding. I don’t have a TV.

      Most reasonable people out there know that being Jewish =\ zionists. There are plenty of Jewish people out there that are against Israel. It’s the Israeli government that has tried their best to conflate the two in order to protect their own murderous regime.

          That’s why literally nobody on the left does this. A common and reasonable refrain is that it’s anti-semitic to conflate judaism and zionism.

    We’ve tried a 1 state solution for a long time

    It’s probably time to start aknowledging the goal of Zionism is to take land from others, and aknowledge that the Zionist have too much influence in politics.

    It’s either the Zionists go, or we just have to accept that Isreal wants to behave like a fascist colonizer and cut ties

        If we look at the modern history of the reigon, the Zionist have been the agressors since NATO made the choice to just give the Palestinians’ land to the Zionists, because the Zionists wanted the land and had an excuse/sympathy after WW2.

        There hasn’t been a political party in Isreal capable of being peaceful and fair with their neighbors.

          NATO wasn’t founded until over a year after Israel was. Soviet aid, in fact, was instrumental in saving Israel after it was founded in '48.

            If you want to be pedantic about what NATO was called when the same members were just the allied forces then idk if we can talk about this in good faith.

            Okay? That still doesn’t justify genocide?

            Jews are not being currently genocided, Zionists are currently genociding Palestinians. So I feel like that’s what is most valid to focus on.

            It seems like most of the “antisemitism” that appeared out of nowhere in the last couple months is just a renewal of an IDF troll campaign. The warmongering Zionists get their trolls to beat the “antisemitism” gong whenever they are starting to look bad in the press.

                It was the allies who gave the land to the Zionists.

                The Haavara Agreement … enabled Jews fleeing persecution under the new Nazi regime to transfer some portion of their assets to British Mandatory Palestine.[2] Emigrants sold their assets in Germany to pay for essential goods (manufactured in Germany) to be shipped to Mandatory Palestine.[3][4] The agreement was controversial and was criticised by Revisionist Zionist leader Ze’ev Jabotinsky and by some non-Zionist Jews, as well as by members of both the Nazi Party and the German public.

                https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haavara_Agreement

                We can see the landgrab was even unpopular with non-Zionist jews at the time.

                Dude you gotta chill. Palestinians are being erased, and Jews are not. It’s really as simple as that.

                Supporting Zionists does not help Jews. And pretending any antisemitism happening against Zionists is as bad as the erasure of the Palestinian people is intentionally ignoring the ongoing atrocities to clutch pearls.

                Zionists and Isralis don’t get sympathy from me while committing the worst war crime possible.

                  Are you… did you not read what you literally fucking quoted? Not only is that not ‘the allies’, but rather independent Zionist orgs making a deal with Nazi Germany, but it’s not giving land, and it’s not post-WW2 like you claimed.

                  Oh, okay, since Palestinians are being genocided right now, we can call for a little genocide of Israelis, as a treat.

                  Yes, it’s increasingly apparent that you’re quite willing to tolerate calls for genocide as long as the ‘other side’ committed genocide first.

          Settler-colonialism in the continental US didn’t end until 1953. Israel was founded in 1948.

          people are still living in the houses of displaced people

          Millions of people were displaced in Europe and other places of the world during the 1940s, who never got to go back and claim their lost property. 900,000 Jews had to leave Middle Eastern countries in the 1940s and 50s and often lost their property over the course of that.

              Congratz you’re starting to learn how it’s problematic to deport people who were born in the reigon.

              Luckily, it’s not problematic or worthy of condemnation to deport people who were born in the region if their government commits genocide first. The Israeli Jews have to learn that collective punishment is Good, Actually, as long as it’s in response to previous crimes.

                I don’t think we need to deport the Isralis, but they ARE genociding their neighbors so maybe they can’t live peacefully in the reigon.

                IMO the Palestinian families that lived there before WW2 have more of a claim to the land. That’s if they can’t stop killing each other.

      Jews, Muslims, and Christians lived in that area together for hundreds of years. This is a political conflict. The fucking Israeli settlers are psychopaths who roll into towns and start setting things on fire. It’s about territory, like all colonialist aggression.
