"You weren't using it anyway" doesn't sound like a good excuse to most people. |
Let me rephrase your question: How many majority muslim states are there where muslims are now the majority after having immigrated en-masse from another continent a few decades ago and having removed hundreds of thousands of locals, and where some muslims lived before but were a small minority? |
I don't care what religion is in the majority in any country. |
Ben gvir does! |
Israelis didn't "immigrate" to Israel. It was given to them, partly as penance for WWII and partly to get them out of Europe. Learn some history, man. |
Who TF cares? Jews (and I'm intentionally using this term as expansively as possible) comprise less than 16M people worldwide. Muslims apparently comprise 1.9B. There are 119 Muslims for every Jewish person. The number of Muslim-majority countries isn't even close to that figure (there are less than 50 Muslim-majority countries, most of which are tiny like Israel). So your question doesn't make the point you think it does. In fact, there are 40 - 45M Kurds across the globe. Where's their country? Seems like, based on your logic, they are more deserving of a country than the Jewish community. |
Learn how immigration works, man. Over 90% of current Israelis (or the ancestors) immigrated to Israel since the state inception. That makes them immigrants. |
I am going to guess you think everyone is deserving of a country more than Jews. By the way - Jews being such a small minority, is why we need a homeland. And it's a tiny one. Less than the size of New Jersey. |
Democrats threatening Jewish people was totally predictable |
Nobody is "deserving" of a country. And there's no point in responding to your guess since, as someone presumably identifying yourself as a Zionist, I already know that you believe that Jews "deserve" a country before anyone else, and that Jews should be at the front of the line for every privilege imaginable. Part of the ol' Chosen People fairytale. Besides - at worst, any view that everyone is "deserving" of a country more than Jews is no worse than a nullification of your racist, entitled view of the world. |
lots of jargon there, not a lot of serious thought |
By the way, one of the few things that's more bothersome than the inherent racism and entitlement within Zionism is the fact that so many people, like you, believe that a separate country was the only way to ensure that Jewish people would be able to live safely. I wouldn't have believed that. Even if I had believed it, the only solution that would have made sense at the time would have been directly and forcefully addressing the conditions that supposedly led to those safety concerns, wherever they existed. Jews should not have been partially segregated, and certainly not in land that was already occupied. That partial segregation has intensified the sense of entitlement and the racism that were bound to flower through Zionism following WWII. Bottom line, the opportunity to subjugate and viciously dominate another group was too tempting after the horrors of the war. |
Left wing Jews support things like this thread and attacking Netanyahu because he is a right-wing leader. They want to be in agreement with their fellow left-wingers, except for that pesky little detail about their right to exist. |
I know - everyone expressing opposition to Zionist propaganda is not as smart, not a serious thinker, an idiot, and basically inferior to those stellar Zionist thought leaders. Your tactics are as boring and tired as they are age-old and, frankly, embarrassing. Back here in reality, you responded with that boring, tired schtick to something that was direct and to the point. Nobody deserves a country. Even if you believe that a country can be deserved, you would obviously make the case that Jews deserve the first bite at the apple. And for that reason, even if thug accusation you made about me is true (i.e., that I would rank order Jewish statehood at the bottom of my list), that would make me no worse than you. But, no - lots of jargon (do you know what that word actually means?) and "not a lot of serious thought". Just ugh. Honestly, those like you make it nearly impossible to experience sympathetic feelings for anyone like you. |
DP. Who deserves a country? Anyone who can take and keep it. So far, that includes us, Israel, and Britain. But does not include Palestine or Crimea. Did Israel take their country post-WWII? No, it was given to them, but they have held it since then. Has it been the best thing that could have happened to them? Maybe, maybe not. But they have held it, despite hostile neighbors. |
