I hate Google and try not use it anymore but there’s still one thing I can’t do without : Google Maps.

This journal is cool!

The fact that I have a PhD while I knew that I wouldn’t use it quickly after I begun, thus loosing years of my life is the proof that I’m dumb as a rock. Fitting for ChatGPT.

Israel is a country. Fascism is a type of government.

You can want the end of the fascist government without wanting the end of the country.

A two state solution is one possibility, but there is no strict requirement that it is the only or best way to serve the needs of those involved.

It’s true. But it’s not for us to decide.

I think you didn’t understood me. I’m criticizing Israel. It’s a criminal state.I just say that to criticize Israel and saying that Israel.shouldn’t exist are two different things.

Israel is a lot of things, but not an ethnostate. Falashas and Sefardim aren’t white, and they’re recognized as citizens as much as Ashkenazim, at least legally (there is racism between Jews in Israel too, but it’s the case everywhere).

I don’t understand why Israel is the only criminal State in the world that progressive people want totally destroyed. Russia, Iran, Syria, … are imperialist criminal states too, and progressive people “only” want their government changed. I want the fascist government of Israel overthrown, but I have no right to call for the destruction of the country itself. The only difference is Judaism.

If the Jew people of Palestine want the independence, who are we to deny it? The only moral solution in this case is the two states solution.

Thus you’re denying the right of self determination for the Jew people. QED.

It would be replaced by what?

I never saw a strong international pressure to make Israel comply.

The goal should be the two states solution. It won’t be possible if there isn’t a strong international pressure on Israel. Again, Israel is a criminal state and should be treated as such. So is Russia, and nobody publishes memes on how Russia has no right to exist.

Denying the Jews the right to self-determination that all other peoples have is antisemitic.

Israel is a criminal state that should be stopped. But we can do that, we should do that, without antisemitism.

New fantasy unlocked

You underestimate the human potential for contradiction.

Yes. There even was Nazi Jews…

If for you “people” is a genetic thing, you’re also racist.

And I hope that, one day, Israel will react in the same way with Palestine. But Germany still exists, and Israel should too.

Jews didn’t steal Palestine. That’s a negation of history: you use a shovel three times anywhere in Israel and you find Jewish remains and artifacts. Cities like Jerusalem had a Jewish majority for ages before 1948. To negate that is antisemitic.

But to find a state legitimate doesn’t mean that the actions of this state are. Germany and Turkey committed genocides, and nobody want the destruction of these countries. France and Britain colonized other countries and committed a lot of crimes there but nobody want the destruction of these countries. Russia or Japan committed a lot of war crimes nobody want the destruction of these countries.

Israel is a criminal state committing genocide and other war crimes and should be stopped by all legal means necessary. We should stop arming them. Ee should stop financing them. We should arrest Netanyahu. Maybe we even should send blue helmets. We should fight for a free, independent and peaceful state of Palestine. But without antisemitism, thus without denying the right of self-determination for the Jewish people.

The problem is: what is antizionism? If to be antizionist is to oppose the government of Israel, then yes, antizionism isn’t antisemitism. If antizionism is a negation of the legitimacy of the Israeli state altogether, then it’s a form of antisemitism, because it’s denying Jew’s the right of self-determination.

Not all handicaps are visible. I know someone, quite young (mid-30s) and very healthy-looking. But she has a bad tension: if she stays standing for too long, it’s very uncomfortable and she may even faint. Older people feel entitled to take her seat and don’t understand when she refuse.
