Whether or not Zionism was correct is irrelevant

[VBM]

I personally think that Zionism was a mistake, but we can’t change the past. The fact of the matter is that pretty much every Israeli alive today was born in the Israel/Palestine region, so they have just as much of a right to live there as native Palestinians do. Imo, the anti-Zionism stuff is one of the least convincing arguments from the pro-Palestine crowd for this reason. It’s not much different from arguing that Native Americans would be morally justified in forcibly removing white people from America. If anything, it’s even less convincing since at least Israel actually was the ancient ancestral homeland of the Jews, while Americans obviously don’t have any ancient ancestral ties to America.

I don’t know that most of the “pro-Palestine” crowd wants to forcibly remove Jews from the Holy Land. I would hazard a guess that they do not.

Many do use it to justify Palestinian aggression towards Israelis

They absolutely want Jews out of there or subjected to living under the whims of Islamist thugs.

It’s important that we stand against anti-Semitic hate and bigotry, lest we let mobs of Islamist thugs take over.


Do you people hear yourselves?!

Islamist =\= Muslim. An Islamist is a radical Islam fundamentalist
