Why is that hard? America is not split between white america and black america. There isn't two countries in America. There is just America and all citizens given freedoms, white americans, black americans, hispanic americans, etc.

Am I missing something in my logic? Why cannot the Palestenians be granted Israeli citizenship and become citizens?

Because a Jewish state assumes a Jewish majority and a Jewish rule. That's why.

Why does there have to be a Jewish state at the expense of the Palestinian people. In what other circumstances do we allow ethno and religious states? We didn't allow America to become a "White" country. No one split South Africa into two.

If Jewish people want to live in Israel, fine, but you don't get to cleanse the place of everyone else who lives there, and you don't get to disenfranchise those people and treat them as second class citizens. It's not a sustainable solution and was never an appropriate response to the Holocaust. It just feeds into this idea of Jewish supremacy, and isn't any different than white supremacy and other such nonsense.

It is different, though. Sorry but Jews are special. Truly they’ve been persecuted throughout history and everyone kinda hates them. If they want to be left alone to in their own state, it’s the most reasonable basis for “supremacy” that ever existed.

I don’t buy that propaganda, Jews are no more special than anyone else.
And by the way, the Gypsies in Europe have been persecuted more

Name another group that’s been persecuted as a matter of government policy (not just random bigotry) as much?

Roma (wtf with “Gypsies”) are itinerant and don’t want a state, so it’s not a good analogy. If they did, however, maybe they’d have similar claim to necessary protection.

Plenty
The native Americans, black slaves in the US, the Russian rule has always been brutal to all ethnic minorities, plenty oppressed in China, South America has its own stories, Zulu empire was brutal

The list goes on

Russian “oppression” is not the same thing as mass killing targeting an ethnic group. Russia has deported certain groups and but not mass murdered them. Also Russia is awful to everyone includes Russians who were serfs/slaves. Same with China’s treatment - re-educating Uyghurs is awful but they aren’t slaughtering them en masse. Please be more specific about “South America.” What ethnic group was singled out for extermination by the Zulu empire? What are you even talking about. Yes, lots of governments are brutal and awful. No, no cohesive national group has been so consistently persecuted as the Jews.

Zionism was founded in order to save Jews from Russian pogroms. If the Russian pogroms weren't that bad then well whoops to your argument.

Don’t be ridiculous. Your argument was about all the supposedly equally oppressed ethnic minorities OTHER THAN JEWS.

Of course. Russia does it to everybody and it's not that bad. So by that logic...

The only pogroms in Russia you cited were against Jews. Russia sucks period. But Jews have been specially targeted. The Pale of Settlement was for Jews.

Well yes, but you claimed that Russia does it to everyone and that what they do isn't that bad.

As a matter of fact, most pogroms happened in present day Ukraine.

Sure. It was Russian Empire. This does not change the point.

What am I reading here? Jewish people are special so they have a hall pass to commit genocide or other atrocities in the names of a Jewish homeland? Is this how low we have all fallen?

Tell me this is not what pro Israeli people are talking.

No one is saying specialness justifies genocide. But it does justify Israel existing as a Jewish state.

Reading comprehension fail. Jews are special. Get over it.

No. They aren't. You're no different than a skinhead screeching about white power. You sound stupid.

You sound historically ignorant and incapable of taking account of the context behind Israel’s existence.

There's no historical context that makes Jewish people superior to anyone else. Yeah they've been through shit. So have a lot of other people. They're still just people after all, no better than anyone else. It's this kind of thinking that's found yourselves becoming the very thing you once fought against.

Seriously why? I am not jew and have no interest is a Jewish state. Why should the US be the guarantor of a Jewish state? Why should the resources of the US be at the call of a Jewish state?

I understand if you are Jewish. You have your own private country paid for and protected by the US. It does not make sense for anyone else.

Because it also happens to be an awesome military ally in the region, an albeit imperfect democracy in a region full of crap regimes (that no one at Columbia bothers to protest on the regular!) and technology hub from which the US benefits. Israel rocks.

Which they are committing a genocide to clear it of the undesirables they've decided aren't pure enough to live among them. Gee. Who does that sound like?

I am not Jewish. The impetus behind Jews wanting a tiny country of self-governance for their own safety and security is not difficult for me to understand. You have to be the worst kind of black-and-white thinker to believe that in this scenario Israelis are acting “just like” American white supremacists.

The Israeli military employed harm-reduction and humanitarian policies to a far greater extent than literally any other country, including our own. I hope you apply your bizarrely overbroad definition of genocide to literally every other military confrontation too.

Israel is not our ally. Get real. We know their intelligence is self serving to the point of being useless and why would anyone trust it after all the major failures? Israel does not allow US to use their airspace or airfields. They would never provide troops or help us in a war. It is a real struggle to see Israel as ally of the US. At best Israel is a protectorate.

You have to be drunk on propaganda and crazy with cognitive dissonance if you can't see that calling yourself a superior race entitled to your own ethno fiefdom cleansed of the indigenous population is exactly the same as white supremacists.

40k innocents dead, the majority of which were women and children. Hospitals and schools bombed. Mass graves and evidence of torture. War crimes on top of war crimes. Loud proclamations of your goal of ethnic cleansing.

You're right, this is totally normal and acceptable, and not at all what a genocide looks like as it unfolds. You morons won't admit it was a genocide until they finish the job.

How is it a military ally? It's a military sugar baby to the US, a perpetual nursling. I can't think of a single time Israel has helped the US militarily. The milk flows only in one direction in this relationship.

You say it's a tiny country like this makes their demands reasonable. Numerically speaking, Jews are a tiny people so why would they need a big country? Although I must say it's getting less and less tiny every day, as the murderous settler thugs profiled in NYT today attest.
