    Wow. Just wow. Did you take into account that some of those Israeli colonizers are neurodivergent, and minors? That's antisemitic, and ableist.

    Enjoy your ratio, bozo.

    Apparently about 70% of Israelis were born in Palestine now. Could be wrong, but that's the number I've seen.

      and how many of them are literally just 2nd immigrants instead of 1st gen?

      and yeah antisemitism is awful but it doesn't excuse someone to persecute another group of people to make up for it. fuck off with this liberal and literally Zionist bullshit.

        The real issue here is that they're doing a settler colonialism, this would be bad even if they were 3rd or 4th or 10th generation. Focusing on how long they've been in the region starts soundings like "blood and soil" ethnonationalism.

        The fact that anglos whose ancestors literally moved to where they live on boats (both in the Americas/Australia and in the initial anglo-saxon migration to pedo island itself) go around calling immigrants they don't like "boat people" is proof that anglos aren't sentient and incapable of self awareness.

      You can have a good reason to move away from bigotry. Doesn’t give you the right to move into a stolen house on stolen land

      Although Israel does have a lot of right-wing immigrants who moved there for noxious settler aspirations, it’s still the case that most of Israel’s current population (70-80%) were born in (the land currently controlled by) Israel.

      Yeah, but in the same way that most of the US's population was born in the US lol
