    See my first link about antisemitism, the first section about the origins of Zionism, and all the linked books in the last section. They all show, in detail, how you are incorrect. If you consider Israelis to be antisemitic because they are anti-zionist, to the extent that you won’t even look at their works, you are way to far gone.

    You are trying to justify the Settler Colonialism of Zionism with the myth of Ancient Israel, which even if true is not a justification. You are also conflating Palestinians with all Muslims and trying to tie both of those to the actions of old empires. Which is islamophobic and unsurprising coming from you. Jewish people are not a monolith, Muslim people are not a monolith.

    Every Ethnostate is unjustifiable, every colonialist regime is unjustifiable.

      LOL, do you actually think some random anti-Zionist Jew is an authority on the topic? Anti-Zionist Jews are the fringe minority. They are a fascinating phenomenon from a psychological perspective, but that’s about it. They have a strong interest in separating Jews from Israel so their work amounts to nothing but propaganda.

      Ancient Israel was not a myth. We have extensive archaeological evidence to prove it. And Zionism is directly connected to it. Before Zionism became a political movement, it was an element of Judaism. We have long prayed about a return to Jerusalem. The great irony is that Israel is actually a successful decolonization project because it resulted in a return of an indigenous population to their ancestral homeland.

      Every ethnostate is unjustifiable and yet many of them exist. There are a dozen countries that are basically Muslim ethnostates. Jews have one.
