Any attempt to draw a circle around which humans matter and which humans don’t is inherently immoral. Either we all matter or none of us do.

@TPrincato Brits born in India who left before independence would not pass on the right to return to India to their children.

@TPrincato People born in Australia to those present on a visa don’t become citizens at birth. If those kids left, grew up somewhere else and had a kid, that kid would have no right to return to Australia even though his parents were born there.

@TPrincato If another country or the Palestinians take over Israel by force, I wouldn’t expect all Jews and Israelis to have the right to return. The new country would determine their own immigration policy.

[LBR @LBR4567]

@TPrincato All countries have their own laws about who can immigrate.

[LBR @LBR4567]

@TPrincato I don’t think Jews who fled Muslim countries over the past 100 years should have the right to return there either.

[LBR @LBR4567]

@TPrincato They didn’t have any special right of return to move to there from 70CE to 1948. The current state of Israel does have that as they can determine their own immigration laws.

[LBR @LBR4567]

@TPrincato State borders get redrawn. If some other country decides to invade Israel and the Israelis flee, I wouldn’t support them having a right to return to what is now another country.

@TPrincato Ethnic Germans had to leave former German areas that were annexed to Poland and ethnic Poles had to leave eastern Poland when it was annexed to the Soviet Union. All of this was sanctioned by the US.

[LBR @LBR4567]

@TPrincato Where’s the racism? Palestinians should be able to return to a Palestinian state and Israelis should be able to remain in an Israeli state. They can each determine what immigrations policies they want in their own countries.

[LBR @LBR4567]

@TPrincato A peace plan would likely have Israeli settlers in the West Bank removed back to Israel and those houses given to Palestinians.

[LBR @LBR4567]

@TPrincato Palestinian refugees could return to a Palestinian state which would be a separate country from the Israeli state. Once a new country is established, they could allow whoever they wanted to immigrate there, even if they are no longer refugees.

@TPrincato You didn’t answer the question. But okay…
In your ideal world, what would happen to the Israeli Jews? Would they need to leave Israel? What about the Israeli Muslims, Christians, Druze, etc? Can they stay?

[LBR @LBR4567]

@TPrincato When you meet a Jew, do you immediately distrust them until they’ve proved to you they are not Zionist? When you meet a Muslim or Christian or Hindu, do you do the same with them?

@MarkProffitt @secularprolife Breathing is the process of moving air into and out of the lungs. The unborn baby is not breathing.

[LBR @LBR4567]

@MarkProffitt @secularprolife I was with you until you said “breathing.” The unborn baby doesn’t start practice breathing until 10-12 weeks. They are respiring the whole time in that they are using oxygen, but they’re not getting the oxygen through breathing.

[LBR @LBR4567]

@TPrincato Real curious about your answer, or why you won’t answer.

[LBR @LBR4567]

@TPrincato Are you antisemitic as well as antizionist?
