(30,109 posts)If you had your way, Jews would be returning to an Arab majority nation ruled similarly to Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, and/or S.Arabia. In your scenario there wouldn't be 2 states, but rather 1. And if 2, both would be Arab majority, so what's the point?
The point is that your BDS movement doesn't recognize a Jewish people. And being that the Jews are not a people, they don't merit their own nation or sovereignty. That's the racist BDS movement, as racist as denying the Palestinians are a people.
Why would indigenous or endangered Jews worldwide want to return to medieval rule & to a racist, Arab majority apartheid state like those surrounding Israel today? In your scenario, the long term survival of Jews worldwide would be endangered.
That's racist. Duh.
