UNICEF has declared Gaza to be the “world’s most dangerous place to be a child.”
United States diplomats once again held up a vote on a watered-down United Nations Security Council resolution on Wednesday aimed at bringing more aid and relief to civilians in the besieged Gaza Strip as reports of starvation, mass killings, and other war crimes allegedly committed by the Israeli military continue to pile up.
They being genocided BECAUSE they’re attacking. Israel tried building walls and protections first, then hamas just started shooting rockets over them, then isreal built the iron dome system, and hamas continued attacking.
Are you fucking stupid? People have been killing each other over ethnicity and religion for literally all of human history. Including in the land now known as Israel. The ottoman empire literally had two sets of laws for jewish and islamic people, and intentionally made the jewish second class citizens. There were also multiple attacks and even massacres of jewish citizens during that period.
The Ottomans being Israel in reverse, again, isn’t the ammo you think it is. The great thing is that society has progressed in the last 100 years and we now recognize apartheid and ethnostates are bad, and we can do better.
You’re using “we” here like “we” is everyone, but it isn’t.
A good chunk of the world population lives in an obvious ethnostate, something close to an ethnostate, or wants to be an ethnostate. Japan, China, India, Australia, Most of Northern and Southern Europe…
There is no common agreement that ethnostates are bad and that we can do better. Go ask someone in Tokyo, Oslo, or Rome.
Hell, go ask a good chunk of America if they’d like to see less immigrants and more white Christians…
So no, society hasn’t up and agreed that ethnostates are bad in principle. You’re talking out your ass.
If my ancestors lived in Norway 3000 years ago can I get a free trip to Norway and Norwegian citizenship? Will they give me a Saami person’s farm?
Way to move the goalposts.
Lots of countries give citizenship/visas to descendants https://www.globalcitizensolutions.com/citizenship-by-descent/ including some fairly “normal” places like Italy and Malta.
This is hardly an Israel specific practice.
Usually one or two generations removed at most. Israel’s policy is unique and is not enjoyed by people who are not Jewish who can demonstrate the same heritage.
The two examples I provided have unlimited ancestry admissions.
Again, not unique to Israel.
