If I’m understanding what you’re not flat out saying, I think we need a reminder that: Jews ≠ Israel.
Genuine response, I’m not trying to argue or be feisty, I’m honestly curious:
I was raised with Zionist views and so my background and knowledge leans very pro-Israelie Jews. I’m hearing your words and when I then follow the last sentence with “so then where do the Israelie Jews go who are being claimed to take the homes of the Palestinians?” I’m brought to a drop in the path as my knowledge says that the homes they’re in (not literally but same location) are their original homes. So, the question is: if we give Palestinians their homes back in Jerusalem and throughout Israel, where do those now displaced people go? Russia, Germany, Poland, etc? Those aren’t their original homes either, they were displaced to there earlier and then had to flee from there eventually as well.
I would really appreciate a continuation of your reasoning or solution-ing - not as a challenge but to understand what happens after the Palestinians get what they need/want. The immediate answer displaces Israelie Jews, yet again, and it’s frustrating as no one comes out and says that straight up. I think that’s where a lot of the frustration in conversations comes from as the silence on that followed question leads to it being perceived as anti-semetic rhetoric eventually being answered as “fuck them - they’re from nowhere and have no claim or right to any land” which eventually leads to the jump of “they’re not worth anyone’s time” which leads to worse.
Please note: I’m not inviting name calling or rude comments, I’m purely looking for a civil discussion to broaden my views and am open to alternative viewpoints from my own.
Kid A was genius, I’m curious on your thoughts of In Rainbows?
Also, its marketed as a children’s mouth guard so it probably helps them want to wear it. Not a parent though, so I have no idea.
