    And yet you see the celebration of support for someone saying that “Israel has no right to exist.” Although there are some people who believe all national boarders should be abolished, somehow I don’t think that’s what the poster intended. Calling for the destruction of an entire nation of people sounds pretty bigoted to me. If it’s not anti-semitism, then we’re just splitting hairs. It makes it hard to speak out against the actions of Israel alongside people who are calling for Jewish genocide and being cheered on by those around them.

      Calling for Israel to not exist does not imply Genocide, it implies disestablishment of a political body.

        There is no possible world in which the disestablishment of the state of Israel does not lead to the deaths of millions of Jews. If you want to advocate for the abolition of Israel, you need to accept that and own the consequences.

          No. But look if you want to be hysterical and put words in people’s mouths you do you. But you’ll have to excuse me if I bow out of the conversation. I’m happy to answer for my own words but not those others imagine
