People think that Jews in Israel are a monolith, but they actually come from different places and so have vastly different points of view.
For example, European Jews tend to favor a two-state solution whereas Arab and Russian Jews tend to disagree.
Disagree as in Free Palestine or as in eliminate all moslems?
Disagree as in Arab Jews have kind of a trauma living among Muslims. Also what do you mean by free Palestine?
Islam came about 1440 years ago. Muslims/ Arab empires ruled from Spain all the way to the borders of China and parts of eastern Europe for at least 800 years.
If they really hated jewish people they wouldn't be any by now.
Rome came about more than 2000 years ago. They ruled Italy for at least a thousand years,and parts of Spain to Egypt for a long while.
If they really hated Christians there wouldn't be any by now.
Free Palestine
You're missing one state solution. That's what's essentially going to happen as things go. They're depopulating gaza with the plan to eventually grant citizenship to the reduced population of Palestinians so they can maintain a jewish majority. West bank alone wouldn't cause a loss in majority, but Gaza would. They won't grant right of return. Though that is genocide.
Ok this is a legit question, not trying to troll or bait... Are there African or east Asian jews? Like Jewish communities in Ghana or Thailand for example?
Yup.
Ethiopian Jews, Indian Jews, and tiny communties of Chinese and Japanese Jews.
Edit: There are more, but those are mostly Jews that ran away / were expelled from other countries.
Like Jews in Thailand who fled Russia and Iran.
Ethnically or religiously?
Both. For example Ethiopian Jews
It hasn't been disproved that Ethiopian Jews are ethnically Jewish.
A genetic study showed a possible genetic link.
I used to know a black guy that was German by heritage
That's a country, not an ethnicity or religion.
The point still stands. All those categories are social constructs and we morally shouldn't make them dictate our behaviors towards others and we should treat all human beings with respect and dignity regardless of how they look or which group they belong to.
Stupid English doesn't differentiate between citizenship and ethnicity
