ExIsraeliAnarchist

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to just get up and move country? Or to try to immigrate from a war zone to a developed country? Have you seen how the (especially non white/european) people who try are being treated??
As an ex-Israeli I was lucky enough to be able to do it many many years ago because I have dual nationality and family elsewhere I was able to depend on, but most Israelis, never mind Palestinians, don't have either, or the money to be able to afford to move, or a country that will allow them in.
Check your privilege.

I was lucky enough to have dual nationality and left many years ago, but then I always knew I would because I never felt like I fit in there, so I have no regrets, except for not leaving sooner - before the army would have been better, but I wasn't able too get out of it.

Be prepared though - life as an immigrant and a foreigner can have it's own challenges, as can being a Jew outside of Israel, and the "grass" - the political and social aspects of life might be different, but it isn't necessarily greener - fascism is on the rise more or less everywhere you go, as is the cost of living.

You only get one life, as long as you aren't harming anyone - do what's best for you, and remember that to create a better society the workers of the world need to unite, so it doesn't matter where you are physically, you can and should still be part of a force for change.

I don't want to give too much personal information, but if you have any questions, I can do my best to answer.

Did you fully read the post you shared or my reply?

"Well, Jewish people need a place where they won't be discriminated against" I absolutely agree. so make every country in the world safe for Jewish people.

How you can interpret this as anything other than displacing the Jewish people from that region, is on you.

As for my "agenda" - it's to share from my lived experience and knowledge of this conflict (which most of you have none) to push for REAL peace and freedom for ALL of the people of that region (and it looks copy-pasted because the erasure of Jewish history on the land is always the same), and as I already said - ignoring thousands of years of history because you're too lazy to learn it properly, and reducing the conflict to an "easy" but useless solution to fit your black and white view, is a sure fire way to ever let that happen. If you want to continue to do so, knock yourself out, but erasing the parts that are inconvenient to your agenda, only demonstrates your ignorance and unwillingness for there to be an real and viable solution to a conflict you openly refuse to understand (until we are free of states and nations, the ONLY viable solution is a two state one, where both people share the land).

No one is forcing you to double down, you can just put your hand up and say that in your quest to ignore nuance you uncritically shared a post that didn't say what you think it did (unless you agree that Jews have no history or place in the region and should all be removed and displaced to countries they have nothing to do with, which I don't think you do) and admit it's an uninformed shit take. A straightforward "free Palestine" or even "fuck the state of Israel" meme would serve everyone much better.

Did you fully read the post you shared or my reply?

I already quoted the part that's inaccurate, also the post you shared isn't calling simply for liberation from occupation, which I support, its calling for the displacement of Israelis basically "back to where they came form", ignoring that they came form the region of Palestine/Israel, and mostly displaced by their own oppressors generations ago, while still maintaining some continuous settlement the region (so no, they didn't sudenly turn up in 47-48, and Zionism is about a hundred years older than that - like I say, it's easier to brush off as nuance than even learn the basics).

You don't free one people by displacing another. You free both by freeing them from the people playing them against each other and stopping peace for power.

Zionists invaded Palestine in 1947-48

Being deliberately ignorant of history isn't helping anyone.

I do not support the apartheid state of Israel or the illegal settlements and occupation of Palestine, but Jewish people belong on parts of that land just as much as Palestinians belong on others, and this conflict will never be resolved as long as people, especially those who brush of thousands of years of history aside as nuance because its easier than actually making an effort to understand it, argue that only one group has a rightful claim to the land.

An anarchist should be supporting the people, not one state or another, and this isn't to say that there is a power balance or that both sides are responsible, no, only Israel is, but those in power over both people are using them as pawns to stay in power. They are the ones who need to be removed.

Show me where I support zionism?
Knowing and acknowledging history doesn't equal support for its results.
Whereas you literally just attach non-existent motives to a comment that challenges your narrow and wilfully ignorant world view so you can outright dismiss it because that's easier than thinking a little more in depth about the reality and complexity of a situation you clearly know little about (and clearly aren't interested in understanding)..
It's not as if someone with relevant lived experience might actually know more than your sheltered ass... /s

So confidently incorrect and wilfully ignorant...

Try actually educating yourself

You're slightly and conveniently ignoring the actual colonisers of the region at that time - the British and French, and the parts they played in all of that (you can look to the partition of India or their other colonial "projects" for similar tactics on a bigger scale).

I am not justifying or defending the actions of the state of Israel against Palestine, but don't say people don't bother looking at the history and then only deliver a partial version of it.

Israelis and Palestinians both have a rightful place in the region, and have existed side by side continuously for thousands and thousands of years, the deep division that exists today is the product of colonial intervention dividing the locals and setting them against each other to make them all easier to conquer.

Edit to add that things haven't changed much today, the British may no longer colonise the land, but all of the large superpowers are contributing financially and politically to continue to divide the local population rather than promote a peaceful solution, still because of vested financial interest - not only weapons R&D but also the massive gas reserves off the coast of Gaza their trying to get their hands on. Ignoring the bigger picture of this conflict doesn't help anyone.

Oh, my criticism wasn't of you, but of the person who replied to you with a load of nonsense. People tend to ignore/simplify/skew the history to fit their agenda (or are too lazy to make the kind of effort you are to understand), so it's good to look at the actual documented history.

As for the Hagia Sophia comparison, I can see where you're coming from, but this is all on a much bigger scale, which by default makes it much more complicated t figure out. But the first step is wanting to know, and you're there, so good job!

That person really doesn't seem to know what they're talking about (Jews did not originate in Egypt, the UN didn't "shove" anyone to the land, Jewish settlement has been continuous in the region, and after decades of pogroms which culminated in the Holocaust, many who were in the diaspora ended up returning since they didn't feel safe anywhere else, but more importantly, like so many fleeing war and genocide today - were simply not welcomed by the "allies". There is also no such argument that anyone who lives on that land qualifies as Jewish, that's not how Judaism works, there are Israelis and Palestinians of all and no religion), I recommend reading some actual sources for yourself if you want to know more:

And of course I have to defend myself in advance - despite all of the above, I am not denying that the state of Israel is occupying some lands illegally, and is oppressing and ethnically cleansing Palestine.
Both peoples have a rightful claim to parts of that land (and will, eventually, have to share other parts, or all die trying to be the only ones in control), and all deserve to live peacefully side by side on their homelands.

These protest have been going on for years.
The idea that Israelis generally support him is part of his media narrative, not reality.
The fact that the protests were getting bigger and louder before 7.10 is another reason war was allowed to happen (it keeps people distracted and united against an enemy that isn't him, and the results are instant - many already saying to wait with holding him accountable until "after the war" as if he wouldn't start another or make this one last until he made sure he couldn't be removed).
When he went to visit the front lines, he didn't only refuse to meat, but expelled reservists who were called in to duty who were known to be at protests or signed letters against him.
They have now also made it legal to shoot protestors with live ammo and arrest anyone suspected of "interfering with military operation" (this is mostly to target Palestinians and Arab-Israelis, but also Jewish protestors)
The Israeli government doesn't represent the Israeli people.
