Edit: Blocked the author’s name, because it’s not my tumblr. I didn’t expect so many people to misinterpret it and respond in this way.
Edit 2: This is not from the same author, but it’s a reply to them. I think it might help clarify the post for those that are confused:
I normally don’t worry about usernames on tumblr, but since there’ve been some really out-of-pocket misconceptions in the thread, I don’t want anyone to harass them.
You could say the same thing about the US, it’s been under european occupation for 250 years.
Most jews living in Israel were born there. Like it or not, that is their home now. They can’t go back to their country because they don’t have another one.
What can be changed is only what they do from now on. The right thing is to make peace and make ammends with the Palestinian people. The wrong thing to do is the genocide they are doing right now.
You think I don’t? And what part of the post leads you to believe the author wants Jewish people to “go back to their country”? That is NOT in the post. Where are you getting this, and what are you arguing against? Definitely not my post!
The post argues how jews occupied the land and are treating Palestinians poorly and the proposed solution is to ‘make every country safe for jews’ and ‘stop creating an ethnostate’. The past is past, you can’t undo all the things that already happened. The “ethnostate” already exists. Other countries stopping from being antisemitic won’t solve anything now. So what I understand is being proposed, between the lines, is for other countries to stop being antisemitic, so the Israelis can go to those other countries instead of their own and give the land back.
I’ll take reaching for $100, Alex
No, the Jews that are already there can stay. More can immigrate if it fits into the national agenda. They just live in Palestine and have to participate in a real democracy instead of an ethnostate. And yes, it must be safe for both Jews and Arabs (and Christians, Beduins etc.).
See, we’ve given them more than enough money to buy their own country. You gotta take the training wheels off at some point, and 76 years seems like plenty of time to find their feet. At the very least, wander out into the desert like their dear Moses and build a new Jerusalem, with hookers, and blackjack, and matzoh. Especially the matzoh that shit is fuckin awful and we could all use a place designated to hold all of it. For cultural purpose of course.
