Again, showing you're totally OK with genocide so long as it's a people you don't personally like. Got it.
Israel was created as a Jewish homeland because the world decided they were owed it after an organized and dedicated extermination campaign.
Yes, it was wrong to just displace the Palestinians, but it was not wrong to give Jews a homeland after centuries of European discrimination and blood libel, culminating in the Holocaust.
p.s. We are absolutely programmed to be racist.

"A landmark study in 2005, for instance, showed that babies perceived differences in race and exhibited preferences for their own race as early as at 3 months of age.
In a 2017 study, children associated adults of their own race with happy music, and adults of a different one with sad music — when the kids were aged just 6 to 9 months old.
While children showed a "weak racial bias" at 7 years old, by the age of 10, their bias had become "strong and reliable" in a 2014 study. White children in that study thought that Black children of the same age would feel less pain than them if they bumped their heads or bit their own tongues."
This kind of false equivalence is a form of genocide denial.
Israelis being Nazis mean they get treated like Nazi Germany.
It's genocidal when Netanyahu says it, it's genocidal when you say it.

Jews can become Palestinian and live side-by-side with Palestinian Muslims and Christians, this isn't a genocidal statement.
They can keep the parts of their culture that aren't based on settlement, white supremacy, eradication, or colonization. But they have a rotten society and Israel as a country was founded on rotten ideas and it has only rotted further. It's gotta go.
This wouldn't be a instant or simple process, but it can be compared to Nazi Germany: being occupied and having their government dismantled and undergoing denazification wasn't genocide, even though Nazi Germany ceased to exist. The same can be done to Zionist Israel.
I, for one, think marching Israelis through Gaza and forcing them to see their crimes in person would change a lot of hearts and minds. Make them smell th blood and shit and rot. Then reeducation to deprogram them from their genocidal settler beliefs.
The colonial situation dehumanizes the colonized and the colonizer, but this process can be reversed.
... Or they can go back to fucking Europe.
Wow, I mean I knew you had no idea what you were talking about, but this absolutely clinches it.
