I get that the US can be safer for some than a lot of other states where conflict is more heavily concentrated

And I don't blame them for wanting to leave

However there is enough wrong with it to where I do not think it should be celebrated.

We must ask ourselves that if US is a refuge for all, whether it’s a matter of virtue or a matter of the US exporting violence internationally

Oh, for sure. The US is still extremely corrupt. I'm not patriotic; my point is that Jews have the same rights to the United States as you and me, and I'm not trying to change the goal posts. Jews are factually based in the Levant; it just didn't have any official designation until the late 1940s due to global interference, which was wrong, anyway, but they eventually took over completely.

Think of it like the Kurds who have lived in Turkey, Iran, and Iraq for centuries despite not having an official "home" there, yet.

To clarify I was speaking of "Israelis" not Jews as a whole in my initial post

What even is "Israeli" though?

Just to clarify,

I'm not pro-Israel or Zionist; rather, I come from a Muslim and Christian background and am POC.

But this is not true. Jews have lived alongside Muslims in the Levant for millennia, even before Islam was introduced.

The United States is a refuge for all, not just Jews, and the reason Jewish people fled back to Jerusalem to establish "Israel" was to escape centuries of discrimination against them in the US and EU, not just during WWII. WWII was the straw that broke the camel's back.

You also have to realise there are like 3-4 ethnic Jewish groups (Sephardic, Ashkenazi, Mizrahi, Ethiopian, etc), some that haven't lived with each other in thousands of years. Israel was made to home them all, but obviously made in corruption.

what is this bullshit

zionism has nothing to do with "escaping discrimination", its more like a mystified form of self-hatred where "jews" cannot live peacefully with "regular society". racism in israel is not an issue of corruption, zionism was founded as a colonial project.

How is it not. The U.S. has historically taken in people from all backgrounds fleeing whatever issue happening elsewhere

I haven't kept up with the s*** in the middle east post the initial October attacks but from what I've gathered seems like both sides (Israel and Palestinians) want the other eliminated completely

If you ask me seems like american youth has been manipulated into taking an anti Israel stance based on hamas propaganda. A lot of the messaging seems very antisemitic.

Personally i feel like American youth should be protesting things that effect them at home like cost of tuition or student debt

All these college kids just seem to he virtue signaling and joining a trend

I don't agree with the US backing Israel nor do i agree with the years of oppression the Palestinians have faced but tbh its not my problem. All i can do is use my power to vote and unfortunately Israel is the US's proxy into the middle east so they kind of have to d***ride in order to secure American military imperialism

This is the cost of living a privileged western lifestyle
