Before joining the conversation, ask yourself this question. Do you believe Jews have a right to a homeland (somewhere)? If yes, enter the conversation. If no, you need to evaluate your beliefs.

@AlliFlowers
What do you mean "evaluate"? Are you insinuating that I gave some sort of knee jerk response with my "no"? Apparently "Yes" needs no evaluation, implying that "yes" is the only acceptable answer.
Back at you: Do you believe the Palestinians deserve their own "safe place"? Was it okay to kick the Palestinians out of their homeland to make room for northern European Zionists? (I try not to conflate "Jews" with "Zionists", anymore than we should conflate "Germans" with "Nazis".
@Threadbane Palestinians are not a religion. They are safe in any Muslim country. Your turn.
@AlliFlowers
No, they are the indigenous population of Palestine. At present, they are the Middle East's version of the Native Americans, uprooted and kicked out of their ancestral homeland by European invaders. You're making an argument analogous to the Crusaders, saving the Holy Land from the infidels. Suggesting that belief in a magic sky being is justification for slaughtering people to take their homes and land doesn't strike me as a sound argument.
@Threadbane So you feel Jews are the only people in the world not entitled to any homeland? Got it. And you also feel Jews originated…where exactly? Cause most of my family look just like our Arab brothers and sisters.
@Threadbane The US is at the top of the list! And now that you’ve put yourself out there, you’re going on mute, so no reason to respond.
@AlliFlowers
Jews from northern Europe have far less Semitic DNA than Palestinians. Benjamin Netanyahu has hazel eyes and Goldie Hawn's are blue. The people of Israel look like Europeans, not Palestinians.
Why can't Jews get along with the Muslim or Xian Palestinians? Why can't they assimilate into the native population as they have in the US? Or do you include the US as "unsafe" for Jews? Should atheists be given their own "safe place"?
