    I love bringing up this "solution" given how often liberal zionists still like to pretend Israel is a multiethnic democracy. Then they try to deflect and make excuses (Oh it's the Palestinians who don't want to co-exist), appeal to some sacred law of national sovereignty (It's on Israel's people to decide who they let into the country) or drop the act and start sounding indistinguishable from the ethnonationalist blood-and-soilers.

    Seriously, Isn'trael is like when after WW2 was over and the Jewish people tried to return to their homes in Poland (and Hungary and a few others I think?), the Polish people who'd taken over their businesses, properties and wealth conducted violent pogroms against them to maintain what they'd stolen from them; supporting Isn'trael is like hearing about this event and siding with the Polish.

    Major L on the Soviets' part. Then again, hard to keep things under control if you're the USSR at the tail end of the war.
