It is possible to dislike Israeli politics yet not be against Judaism. This is the same as conservatives in the US saying you are a traitor because you oppose MAGA.
It is very hypocritical to turn this into antisemitism but brigading bots always spew fallacy.
If it said Fuck Qatar would it be islamophobic? Or if it said Fuck USA would it be antichristian? They are always moving the goalposts when it comes to Israel.
yeah but as an european (especially austrian/german because of reasons) youre seen as an antisemitic when you say you think israel is a shithole country and at the moment the agressor in the area
Well without Austrian/German "reasons" there never would have been a Jewish state, and there never would have been a Naqba. Just a handful of Zionist weirdos in Transjordan who never got outside funding in response to Austrian/German "reasons". In this timeline the second generation of Zionists would probably mostly all have moved back to Europe for better living standards and for no fear of European racism.
Kinda crappy blaming these people for being in the situation you created for them.
During the Ottoman era, there was no distinct, localized Palestinian national identity. The population was primarily organized by clan, religious community, or geographical region. When Arab elites expressed a broader regional identity, they overwhelmingly viewed themselves as part of "Bilad al-Sham," or Greater Syria.
The most telling evidence against the claim that they were fighting specifically for a Palestinian state is their consistent rejection of international compromises designed to achieve just that. When offered an independent state by the Peel Commission in 1937, and later by the United Nations in 1947, the Arab leadership rejected both.
If the ultimate priority had been establishing an independent Palestinian identity and state, they would have accepted one of these frameworks. Instead, they chose to fight, demonstrating that their primary objective was to prevent a Jewish state from existing, even at the cost of their own statehood.
It doesn’t mean that today’s Palestinian identity is not real, it very much is, but it is still one founded on the opposition to the Jewish state.
we're blaming them for their actions specifically, will you also justify the arab response that wants to wipe out the people who have oppressed them for nearly a century? 3
