Comparing the hamas attack to the holocaust is like comparing an indigenous people's raid of settler encampments to the holocaust. It is wildly inappropriate and ignores the difference in power between Jewish people under the nazis and Jewish people in a White Jewish ethnostate

Oh of fucking course it is going to be violent, unless the settler state caves. That is how anticolonial movements always go. But it is a lesser violence vs the continued violence its existence is predicated on.

Please pick up wretched of the earth by Fanon at your local library, it is a very necessary read for westerners.

Yee! You got it. All those nations should not exist, theyre all settler colonialist projects.

What is different? What is different between the slow encroachment on land, the starvation of resources, and the disproportionate violent response to raids that kill settlers?

I think you're getting the logic wrong, and the basic logic also isn't rooted in empirical studies.

Can you please cite empirical studies that make your case?

I could be wrong of course, but even if LVT plus UBI work it would still be better to just do what the CPC did and stop enforcing the right to own other people's homes.

If your response to seeing Jewish antizionism is to downvote congrats you're an antisemitic piece of shit.

You're continuing to equate being Jewish with an jewish apartheid state, which, as I said before, is antisemitic.

Destroying Israel doesn't actually mean killing Jewish people there, that's some settler-ass logic. Can you name a single time that an apartheid state was destroyed that resulted in all the settlers being killed? Destroying apartheid states is much less violent than apartheid.

Go to a pro Palestine reality and see Jewish people lead "from the river to the sea" chants if you want a visceral illustration of how silly the propaganda you've bought into is.

You'd be defending the genocide of indigenous people as "just warcrimes" under the same logic.

You do realize a state can dissolve without literally everyone dying right? When East Germany and West Germany reunified the entire population of both countries didn't die. When apartheid collapsed in South Africa all the settlers didn't die.

You're talking about the original phrase that had Rashida accused of antisemitism, and given the context it seems like you think "from the river to the sea Palestine will be free" is antisemitic.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just very tired of dealing with zionist antisemites and may have jumped the gun.

telling that YOU think it is antisemitic and need to defend yourself.

The one thing you know about me is that I've said the Jewish side of my family was directly affected by the holocaust. Do you think this is appropriate to say to me? If this was a real life interaction, would you say this outloud?

That literally isn't antisemitic, conflating antizionism and antisemitism is antisemitic

You're being antisemitic by equating anti-zionism with antisemitism.
