@cwaverer@hutchinson it's simply a conflict of interest on what the democratic party should be
I don't know why you guys feel so entitled to have everyone in agreement with you.
@Sarsath21@btharris93 "White identity" isn't really cohesive and it's usually based on racism
and people in england don't call themselves "anglo-saxons"
I'm not engaging in bad faith, just trying to explain why that concept is different in the west than in the rest of the world.
@Sarsath21@btharris93 You know there are 20-smth arab-muslim countries right?
your idea against ethnostates works in the west because the borders are drawn based on "civic nationalism" but in the middle east they are drawn based on "ethnic nationalism"
so most countries are ethnostates and it's fine.
@Sarsath21@btharris93 Pro-palestine activism is fine but believing jewish people specifically don't deserve a state and norm Finkelstein coming in to say it's fair to hate all israelis, and saying jews are controlling the media sounds pretty anti-semitic if we're being fair....
@greedyeuglosini@NickyFrank30 how about the iranian protestors who pro-paleys are calling "zionist" because they have islamophobic attitudes after 47 years of living under a theocracy
@AlexWBostic@miktpettersen@propandco Can say the same thing about iranian protesters and how they feel about arabs and islam but you'll call all of them zionists :)
@king_ofdior@BlueKaje@hutchinson Sure, but what I'm saying is that if israel is an ethnostate so are the 20 or so arab-muslim countries
and many other places in the world who's borders were largely drawn by ethnic nationalism and not civic nationalism.
@king_ofdior@BlueKaje@hutchinson "The intent" bro the constitutions were written up at the time of peak "pan-arab" sentiments, arabs aren't dumb they absolutely wrote it like that on purpose.
and in practice 20-25% of israeli society are arabs with citizenship. it's harder to get that in egypt as a non-arab.
I mean....i feel like there's just as much "evidence" if not more for this one and we always call this a conspiracy theory๐ญ
