    I take umbrage at this statement:

    2020’s: Israel and the Jews

    I hear what you’re saying and see the point you’re overall trying to make; but please rework it so you’re not lumping “The Jews” into the actions of Israel

    There are many Jewish people against the actions of Israel and abhor the thought of exterminating anyone/anything

    I do agree with your last statement. I had a gossamer support of Israel which has radically changed in recent years. I see the current actions of Israel as no different than their oppressors

      I take umbrage at some things too, but thats the internet for you.

      Do you support the existence of a state of Israel?

      Because I dont see how anyone can say they do but at the same time say they support universal human rights, or the basic membership any citizen has with their state. or be against war crimes. A lot of commenters here try to have it both ways and differentiate judaism from isarel for the sake of avoiding taboos, but to me that always smacks of a sort of dishonesty and avoiding an issue that is never going to simply evaporate or solve itself. That issue is the rot at the core of zionism that will keep israel evil. And last I checked 90% of Jewish people supported the existence of the state of israel. The rot in Israel written into the basic laws at this point. The foundation of the state is war crimes, and if we are honest about it, has been to one degree or another for 80 years. Israel has never been a viable state worthy of the name of “state”. So. Since you complained about differentaiting Judaism from Israel, Do you support the existence of the state of Israel?

        They allow a modicum of Arabs to become Israeli citizens and then claim they are being humanitarian.

        Just like Trump and his 3 black friends: Herman Cain (dead), Ben Carson and Clarence Thomas (would have loved Epstein Island).

      I 100% agree with you. I should never have written that, and have modified my post. Thanks for pointing it out!
