what with all these white jewish people in the imperial core who suddenly just NEED to go live in the middle east and commit war crimes and genocide along the way? Just... go buy a house in Arizona or something if you REALLY want to live in the desert? These people who are moving into Israel presumably had a place to live before moving across the planet. Why do they specifically need to move to Israel of all places? Who the fuck is waking up in the morning thinking "I need to murder brown children so I can live in that very specific bit of desert on the other side of the world"?

      Jewish people were forced into diaspora from Israel. It has been thousands of years, but it still is an ancestral homeland and bears the cultural significance as such. I think it's kinda weird to discuss Jewish people in Israel in the same terms as Europeans in the US.

        then why are you using them as an analogy?

          I was talking about Jewish people living in the US in that part, specifically in reference to OP's question of why a Jewish person living in the US might want to move to Israel.
