Adam Beer<p>This is probably my most controversial opinion. It's been percolating in my mind for a year or three, and I've finally figured out how to express it clearly and concisely.</p><p>The fundamental problem with Israel, the ADL, etc. is that Zionism (or at least Jewish Zionism) is the result of learning the wrong lesson from the Holocaust.</p><p>The Holocaust was the logical conclusion of an "Aryan" ethnostate. The definition of, "Aryan," was vague and it changed over time, but for the purposes of this post all we need to know is that it included, "not Jewish."</p><p>The Zionists are the people who looked at that and thought, "This is evidence that we need a Jewish ethnostate," when what they should've thought is, "This is evidence that ethnostates are bad."</p><p>Many are baffled by how Israel could "fall into" committing genocide when the entire reason it exists is supposedly to protect and empower a people who themselves had just suffered <strong>the</strong> quintessential genocide. But the tragic truth is that both genocides have the <strong>same</strong> cause: the mere fact that the perpetrator is an ethnostate.</p><p>This is why a "two-state solution" isn't a solution. Separating ethnicities into their own ethnostates isn't the solution because those different ethnicities living together in the same state isn't the problem. The problem is that that state is an ethnostate. And so, the only real solution to the Israel-Palestine situation is for the whole place to become one pluralistic democracy with equal rights for all.</p><p><a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/ADL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADL</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/antiDefamationLeague" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antiDefamationLeague</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/antisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antisemitism</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>democracy</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/ethnonationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ethnonationalism</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/ethnostate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ethnostate</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Holocaust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Holocaust</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/pluralism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pluralism</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Zionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Zionism</span></a></p>
Liam O'Mara IV, PhD<p>On <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ThisDayInHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThisDayInHistory</span></a> in 1947, the UN passed a non-binding <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/partition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>partition</span></a> resolution for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a>.
