Reply to comment by Fanace5 in Abu Dhabi reduces number of single-use plastic bags by half a million per day by ge1o2

I knew as soon as I mentioned Israel the antisemites would come out of the woodwork to downvote and leave comments like this.

Let me make myself clear: I support Israel unconditionally, think it should own the entire Levant, and believe any threat to Israel is an existential threat to the Jewish people, especially African and Asian Jews (who have found safety and refuge in Israel after facing Islamic antisemitism in their countries of birth). 🇮🇱

I love how you assume I'm antisemitic because I said you're cognitively dissonant with literally no additional information. Somehow you actually became more cognitively dissonant. Impressive.

Shitting on (admittedly much worse) Islamic theocracies while defending an ethnostate is not the good look you think it is. It is not antisemitic to be against ethnostates. Israel is not the same thing as Jewish people. Don't conflate the two.

I agree Middle eastern theocracies aren’t the greatest but in what world is less rights or bad living conditions or even no gay rights worse than straight up murdering people and/or displacing them from their own homes?

Islamic theocracies also tend to do that though.

Israel is not an ethnostate. There are non-Jewish (including Palestinian) citizens. It is a reaction to Europe’s ethnostate campaign in the 1940s that left over half of Jews worldwide dead.

Please just stop.

Israel is blatantly governed in the interest of the jewish people and nobody else. That is an ethnostate.

So Isreal is not an ethnostate, but saying anything bad about Isreal is being antisemitic?

Your whole argument fell apart when you alluded that hating Israel is antisemitism.
