    I’m 70 years old and have always supported Israel until now, but I am starting to believe that the world would be better off without Israel. They function with a complete absence of honor and humanity, and completely lack the ability to compromise fairly. Israel is an irritant to a peaceful world.

        They didn’t even use the word “Jew” in their reply. So why are you conflating the 2?

        Holy mental gymnastics, Batman.

          The thing is with dog whistles is that the people that use them think they’re being clever and fooling everyone. But it doesn’t really fool anyone, and those that use the dog whistles pretend to be offended when you start talking about the subject they’re really talking about.

          Seen it hundreds of times with the MAGAs and y’all are no different from them.

        Elimination of Israel != elimination of the people living there.

        Quite the opposite; Israel, as a settler colonial project, necessitates the elimination of many of the people living there.

          We’re in a thread under an article celebrating how Israelis aren’t welcome in other countries.

          So that indicates eliminating Israel isn’t just about ethnically cleansing Jews from the area, since you don’t want there to be anywhere else for them to go. So what does “eliminating Israel” mean now?

            Who said eliminating Israel required ethnically cleansing Jews? There were jewish people living in Palestine before Israel, there will be Jewish people living in Palestine after Israel.
