    People think that Jews in Israel are a monolith, but they actually come from different places and so have vastly different points of view.

    For example, European Jews tend to favor a two-state solution whereas Arab and Russian Jews tend to disagree.

      And African Jews in Israel are secretly sterilised by the state so that they can’t have children. Leading to a 50% birth rate decline compared to other groups

      Reuben spoke to one woman who believed she had been given a flu vaccination and had no idea she had been injected with Depo-Provera.

      Another was pregnant with her fifth child when she arrived in the transit camp, where she would live for seven years. The woman in her thirties told Reuben that officials had gathered together all the new mothers in the camp and told them they would be given Depo-Provera as it would be too difficult for them to give birth Israel.

      “No, we didn’t want to take it, we refused. We said we didn’t want it,” the unnamed woman recalls in the film. She agreed to the injections only because she was told her immigration to Israel would be blocked and she would receive no further healthcare in the camps if she refused.

      “This happened to many, many other women,” Reuben said.

        Free Palestine

        You’re missing one state solution. That’s what’s essentially going to happen as things go. They’re depopulating gaza with the plan to eventually grant citizenship to the reduced population of Palestinians so they can maintain a jewish majority. West bank alone wouldn’t cause a loss in majority, but Gaza would. They won’t grant right of return. Though that is genocide.

            Arab Jews were expelled from their homeland (every single Arab/Muslim country) so they don’t exactly have a fond memory of living among Muslims.

            But they live just fine with Israeli Arabs and just as any other human being they want to live in peace.

                Forgive me, but I’m going to copy-paste another post of mine.

                “in 1661 they were allowed to revert to Judaism, although they were still required to wear a distinctive patch on their clothing.”

                Meh, if you can call the dhimmi status a peaceful life, yeah I guess.

                Anyway as soon as a Jewish state was declared, all the Arab countries attacked it, I wonder why. So now they didn’t want Jews in their Arab countries, and they didn’t want them in their Jewish country. So where exactly were they supposed to live?

                  They didn’t want a Jewish colonial state to start annexing Arab land and to drive out the native Arabs, which is exactly what has happened.

                    I don’t think the word “colonial” means what you think it means.

                    But just to make sure, what do you think the word colonial means?

                    What do you mean colonial? Jews are indigenous to Judea and they’ve never left. All the lands were either bought to Arabs or conquered after wars that the Arabs themselves started.

          Islam came about 1440 years ago. Muslims/ Arab empires ruled from Spain all the way to the borders of China and parts of eastern Europe for at least 800 years.

          If they really hated jewish people they wouldn’t be any by now.
