Also, about half of Israel's jewish citizens = secular people who want peace
It seems to be the ultra-religious on both sides that are constantly making things worse.
You can't understand not wanting to leave but instead voting via democratic process only to be dissatisfied/alarmed that more authoritarian, right wing demagogues are pushing the Overton Window right and eroding democracy?
Do you live on Mars? This is happening everywhere.
Why should the Palestinians pay for German crimes with their blood?
I think this comment is pretty unfair. You're right that there's a historical demonization of Jews that continues to this day, but i don't think it makes sense to suggest that the only solution is for all the Jews to hide out in Israel (or some other Jewish nation/state).
That said i don't think it makes sense to say they have to leave for that reason either, or that it's the smart thing to do or whatever. Why not stay? If only there were more secular Jews in Israel who opposed apartheid.
To quote some "very fine people" from a major western nation. "Jews will not replace us".
Lots of places aren't exactly welcoming to them.
