#and colonization

I have no clue how hard it must be to be Jewish rn and have to deal with the general conflation of Judaism with the state of Israel, but in general here are my beliefs:

All states suck

Ethnostates shouldnt exist

No state has a right to exist

Israel as a state, was formed to protect Jewish people. Jewish people should be protected, Jewish people have a right to exist and live and celebrate their religion and ethnicity fully, loudly, joyfully.

I long for a day when Jewish people can exist in any country on this planet without fear. I want that for all people

But Israel was formed through violence against Palestinians and has continued to perpetuate this violence against Palestinians and the arab countries around them rn.

Criticisms of Israel are not always antisemitic. They can be, and anytime someone tries to use antisemitism to criticize Israel, they should be called out and shamed,

but Zionism, as it is practiced by the state of Israel, is wrong. It has caused 30,000+ Gazans to lose their lives in just over 100 days. Countless Gazans have been permanently injured and disabled.

Not to mention those being attacked and killed in the West Bank

Zionism as practiced by Israel has seen countless Palestinians martyred, or disappeared into prisons never to be seen again.
