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.

    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?

          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.
