Moreover, no country is perfect, and we shouldn't have double standards just for Israel. Can you identify any other Middle Eastern country that compares favorably, in terms of diversity and tolerance of all religions and ethnicities?
'I believe whites need to hold all authority in the United States, and must have a permanent demographic majority (for practical reasons, of course)'
then you might call me a white supremacist. I might reply:
'I'm not a supremacist, we must secure self-determination in order to secure the future of our people.'
You would gently remind me that this is exactly what a supremacist is.
So yes, please, no double standards. Also, the rest of the Middle East is just as bad, no arguments there, but it's beside the point.
Others have a right to live in the region too, hence proposals to share the land, such as the partition plan or the 2000 Camp David offer.
- You could say that antisemites are a cause of Zionism, but that doesn't mean they intentionally support it. Not all antisemites are of the "go back to Palestine" type.
- Just as "antisemitism" doesn't actually mean hate of Semetic people, "antizionism" doesn't actually mean opposition to Zionism. Instead it developed into a rather separate hate movement. Many antizionism ostensibly support a 2SS, which would mean they actually support rather than oppose Zionism, but are nonetheless part of the antizionism movement.
