Man I was fairly anti-Israel just on the grounds of "you stole a bunch of land, kicked everyone out, and they're pissed no shit"
Then I listened to a podcast with an expert on the area/history who lives there as well, just a basic rundown of how society works there was all I needed. Jews are fine, but the "nation" of Israel needs to be dismantled.
Well obviously "Jews are fine".
This whole thing isn't about religion. It's about human rights and nothing else. I am so disgusted by all the blames of anti semitism thrown around currently. And at the same time there are legit anti semites running around, that are more often than not siding with Israel, but everyone seems to focus on the "pro Hamas radical anti semites" that are somehow emerging right now. No. It's not about religion, ethnicity or whatever. It's about basic human rights for everyone!
Sure but most Americans treat calling the actions of Israel bad as basically Hitler.
The anti semites are out in force on the side of Israel because it's precisely the form of society they want here. Tiers of rights with the highest only going to one particular group.
