    Was this Zionist in any way representing Israel, or just a random extremist?

    I have a hard time believing a Jew doesn’t realize that Jews are among all ethnicities.

      I would not claim they represent Israel alone. However their words and those of Israelis from interviews in Zions Square line up with genocidal rhetoric aimed at creating an ethnostate.

        I’m not disagreeing with you, I just think the term ethnostate is a misapplication.

        A vaguely democratic theocracy is a better descriptor in my mind.

          I don’t agree. I think ethnostate is the correct term for what they are trying to establish. They see Palestinians as incompatible with their state.

            But again, Jews are all ethnicities and Arabs (of which Palestinians are) are the largest minority within Israel.

            I understand that complicates the world view a little bit, bit I’m sorry, your world view needs to account for a little more complication.

              It’s not my world view. It’s Israel’s current goal. I understand that Jews are all ethnicities. However, Israel wants to be a country only for ethnic Israelis.

                Only for ethnic Israelis?

                Part of the argument you guys are making is that the reason for the genocide is that they need the land so that they can bring even more Jews in to live.

                I’m sorry, but I think you just haven’t thought this through in full.

                  Who is we guys? It’s just me here. And I think we are at an impasse. Nothing you or I assume about what the other has thought through or not will change minds, there’s no point in arguing without evidence. So, good luck out there

                    I think you would rather your assumptions about the Jews of Israel be true rather than find out they aren’t, so yes, by all means we can allow the conversation yo end for your benefit.
