“Let’s take any other ethnic or religious minority,” said Eden Yadegar, a junior at Columbia. “Would you only accept them if they were willing to denounce an integral part of their religious or ethnic identity? The answer is absolutely not. So how come it’s OK to say, you know, we accept Jews, but only if you denounce your religious and social and ethnic connection to your homeland? It’s ridiculous.”

Zionism is obviously not an integral part of the Jewish identity, if it were there wouldn't be publicly Jewish anti-Zionists.

If an integral part of their religion was committing genocide, yes I would absolutely not accept them. I'd probably say barbara-pit with them. Fortunately a lot of Jewish people have figured out how to be Jewish without the whole genocide thing. Wild how that works.

^ Zionism isn’t even remotely integral to Judaism as far as I know. The only ethnicity that has genocide as a core part of its religion and ethnicity is white people.

i'm not very up on my differences between the torah and the christianized old testament, but i'm pretty sure there's some "god said kill all these people" in there.

of course I haven't heard of anyone saying palestinians are actually amalekites, and we've all seen the video of the israeli cops shoving an old hasidic man protesting the genocide
