Antisemitism can't be ignored

But it’s a historical fact, regardless of whether anyone wishes to accept it as such or not.

And many of those people that would deny Jews autonomy and self-determination in their ancestral homeland would happily support it for other peoples in their ancestral homelands, just not Jews in theirs.

Yes, there’s something anti-Semitic about discrimination in that regard.

Historical fact according to who?

By that standard, Native Americans are historically entitled to govern America, no?

Native Americans do indeed have a lot of recognized autonomy on their reservations-which few would dispute.

And the land that composes Israel was indeed historically Jewish.

Ever heard of the Macabees?

Yes but Native Americans were essentially wiped via colonialism (and disease stemming from colonialism)

Israel is financially supported by the USA and would essentially suffer the same fate if it weren’t for the fact

Jews and Native Americans have both faced violence and massacres.

But no one I know denies Native American autonomy on tribal lands, nor does anyone deny that the Americas are their historical ancestral homeland.

By contrast, many deny Jews similar autonomy in their ancestral lands, and it would seem that some like you even seem to question whether that even their historical ancestral homeland.

Anti-Semitism!!!

What is this “according to whom” crap?

Ever heard of the wailing wall? That is the remains of a Jewish temple that dates back to Biblical times.

Archaeological/historical fact.

Denying that is like denying the Holocaust.

ANOTHER form of anti-Semitism.

I’m not religious.

You don’t have to be.

It’s not religion.

It’s HISTORY.

It’s ARCHAEOLOGY.

Denying it is just ignorant.

I’ll help you out.

Again, going by your standard, Native Americans should be governing America if you’re merely using “history” to determine who has ancestral entitlement to a plot of land.

Yet Native Americans do not govern America.

Israel, would be torn to shreds if it weren’t for America funneling billions of taxpayer money to them.

If you really believe that Jews are entitled to Israel, then that’s fine. In fact, I’m fine with it myself → Let Jews in Israel pay for their ability to defend themselves separate from American tax dollars

Why should African Americans or Mexican Americans have to pay tax dollars to Israel?

The reality is that the US Government only cares about Israel because it’s an extension of their own economic and geopolitical interests.

But they do exercise significant governance over their tribal lands in the USA. And of course, those tribal lands are in the USA, their HISTORICAL ANCESTRAL HOMELAND.

See by contrast, …:

If the anti-Zionists had it their way, the Jews would NOT exercise any governance in their ancestral homelands, Israel would be destroyed, and Jews living there either massacred, forcibly expelled, or forced to live under outside domination.

TOTALLY anti-Semitic attitude.

BIG difference.

NO comparison.

When you note that obvious and glaring distinction……your “logic” (term used very loosely) FAILS.

So you see. The problem is with your logic not mine. Yours is faulty in the way that I pointed out.

Anti-Zionism IS anti-Semitism for that very reason.

Geopolitics 101.

Can you answer this question? - why should Americans be sending taxpayer dollars to Israel

in your opinion

Why this ethnic distinction on where tax dollars go?

Answer: in order to achieve the following goals;

a) protect Jewish autonomy and self-determination in their ancestral homeland against threats from potentially genocidally anti-Semitic and terroristic forces that oppose them, AND,

b) help protect and preserve the ONLY free (according to Freedom House), liberal Western style pro-gay democracy in the Middle East.

Those are pretty good reasons, are they not?

And they should be good reasons for ALL Americans, regardless of ethnic or racial background. Not sure why you introduced race/ethnicity into the equation.

So why not send billions of dollars to every ally?

Maybe each ethnic group in America could get to decide which democracy around the world they want to support with their tax dollats. Prehaps each group could vote for a representative who would make that choice.

Or we stop sending billions to Israel and let them fend for themselves?

I hope you can find someone to vote for with the same views

Not possible because Israel / AIPAC buys all the politicians, and the ones that go against the grain get kicked out

but who knows, there seems to be a split these days where people are finally waking up to how much Israel has influence over america

A western style liberal style democracy left to fend for itself against backasswards anti-Semitic/genocidal enemies that don’t share the same values?

UNTHINKABLE!!!

We are the leaders of the liberal Weatern style democracies for a reason.

Fail to defend likeminded nations when they come under assault from people with other obviously evil motives….and we are NOT the leaders of the FREE world.
