I don’t want to sound like a contrarian, but I’m struggling to figure out how this relates to the previous comments.
I will say, as much as I am being argued with for saying that the history of Germany’s history with Israel is complex, and the history of Zionism is complex, no one is really responding in a way that doesn’t sound like the Charlie Day red string board meme.
When I look at the current state of Israel and Palestine, I see a lot of people backed into corners. Netanyahu knows that if he loses power, he’ll be arrested for corruption, so will do anything to support his base, who are the worst of the Zionists this thread is about, so he only has an incentive to continue butchering Palestinians.
I see the US not wanting a nuclear armed Israel to feel that they are out of defensive options against their neighboring countries, and as such feels a need to keep supplying weapons and intelligence so that Israel is only, merely, butchering Palestinians, instead of something worse.
I see the Palestinians being sacrificed, which is causing some of them to need to fight back, so they’re radicalized, and join Hezbollah.
And I see the rest of the region wanting to punish Israel for their heinous actions.
And looking at this as a US citizen, my experience is that the people who want to make it look like the solution to solving this is easy, are also usually trying to get you to vote for Jill Stein, and I’m not convinced that it isn’t an astro-turfed movement to push for spoiler votes to get Trump in office.
I would like it if we could say the situation is nuanced, and then talk about the nuance, rather than scream that it’s cut and dry
I’m not conflating at all.
A common theme with zionists, that Herzl himself also said, is that the land was promised to them by God
