ITT people queueing up to justify antisemitism.

Jews have been the scapegoats of the world's problems for thousands of years. All of these people taking their sanctimonious "pro-Palestinian / anti-Zionist" stances are literally descendants of antisemitic ideology which is deeply rooted in Christianity, Islam and European politics.

They will say Israel stole land. But ignore how many other countries exist because of thousands of years of violent conflict. Can we talk about ethnic cleansing not only during, but after WWII where people of German ancestry even if they had no blood on their hands, were raped, massacred and driven out of certain countries and blanket pardens were given so "they weren't war crimes." Yet everyone accepts these countries and their current ethnic makeup.

I stand by my position which is that in our current global political system, the ability to occupy and defend land is the determining factor of sovereignty and almost all of us benefit directly from past atrocities. And that has been the case throughout history.

If we want a better world, and I'm all for that, we have to begin with honesty and self-reflection. Piling on one country/group is a distraction and won't solve anything.
