i like to use my refrigerator to store perishable food. i've found that its much cooler temperature helps many food items to stay fresh for longer than they otherwise would

If a group of Black people claimed to represent all Black people, and then killed 14,000 children, then yeah I'd say they were setting the Black liberation movement back somewhat (in addition to being mass murderers)

Yeah and I'd imagine he uses the "what it means to be a Jew" card a lot. It's true, I'm not Jewish, I'll never fully understand it. But so what? Don't all major religions condemn murder, which Israel is doing right now, en masse? This trumps any semantic debate about nation/state, holy land etc.

Oh you're completely denying the murders then. Someone better tell the IDF, who's bragging about them. The factual/moral correctness of an argument is unrelated to how many people are expressing it. Every recent civil rights movement (feminism, anti-racism, LGBT rights) was opposed by the majority.

The murder of 14,000 children is not just "citizens being treated differently from non-citizens". You're so stupid that you lift your articles from ChatGPT and your opinions from the IDF. Try having an original thought and some human feelings.

Ok, assuming your point is true (they are "too spiritual" not because of discrimination from racists like you 🤡), what about Palestinians without Israeli citizenship? Those in the West Bank under endless checkpoints and settler violence and those in Gaza picking up pieces of their children.

Lol I'm not the one saying they should go there. Take it up with the person who asked me twice whether they should have a "right of return" to places they don't even want to go to.

Yes, of course it's better for Jews, by definition. If the Jewish homeland had been created on an uninhabited island, it would be another matter. My problem is the treatment of Palestinians. Continuous oppression since 1948. Jews should be safe from antisemitism but not by creating a new oppression.

I suppose I wasn't clear earlier, but yes, if Mizrahi Jews (etc) wish to return to their ancestral countries, I support their right to do that. They understandably don't want to because of antisemitism in other ME countries, and I strongly believe antisemitism should be eradicated everywhere.

I only see one "should", but yes lol that's how English works. A lot of ME countries are severely antisemitic, which is bad, and I would like all antisemitism to be eradicated. Btw Israel is not helping that cause at all and in fact actively making it worse.

I'm just a random guy with an opinion, which is my right. An Islamic theocracy would be bad too. I hope for secularism and peace in the region. But, that Islamic theocracy is a hypothetical, and the current Jewish-supremacist state is real and committing crimes in front of our eyes. That must stop.

All countries should be free of antisemitism so Jews can choose to live where they please. I don't think a Jewish-supremacist state is necessary. That implies Jews can't integrate anywhere else - which is antisemitic Nazi rhetoric. All theocracies are bad and oppressive.

That was poorly worded, my bad. I meant I don't have a problem if Mizrahi Jews (etc) wish to return to their ancestral homes in other countries. And it would be unambiguously good if those countries were no longer antisemitic so it would be an option for them.

I don't have a problem with that. The mass banishing of Jews to the newly formed Israel was a terrible tragedy. But I don't see their descendants wanting to leave Israel for other ME countries. In fact they are generally super-loyal to Netanyahu and the Zionist project. So, not a pressing question.

Right of return means it's a *right*. It should not be conditional on their beliefs, or their subservience to you. No non-bigot talks like this. You're just a standard-issue racist. You will lose, and Palestine will be free. Have a nice day.

How are you saying both "Jews have one state" and "It is a secular state" about Israel? Both can't be true at once. The answer is it's a Jewish supremacist state. Jews can't even legally marry non-Jews. Hardly secular melting pot behaviour.

I believe the solution will be a single secular democratic state. Homeland for Jews and Palestinians with right of return. Of course it'll take a while for things to cool down to that point. But there won't be peace in the region while the expansionist, Jewish-supremacist apartheid entity exists
