General Discussion

If you're anti-Zionist and don't think Israel should exist, you're antisemitic. Because you know full well what would happen to Jews in the Middle East if they were subjected to whims of their neighbors. People never wrestle with that because 1) They know and 2) They're not bothered by it.

If you are against an ethnostate, I'm going to want a full run down of every ethnostate on earth and why only Israel deserves the attention and condemnation. Because there are a lot of ethnostates out there. They're not called that, of course. Only Israel is. Which, again. The bias becomes quickly obvious. Special rules. For reasons.

I don't agree with the occupation of Gaza or the West Bank. But if you don't think China isn't sitting there oppressing minority populations, Russia making its various attempts over the years, and other countries, you're not being honest. Of course, we don't call them occupations. We just think of it as annexation for the most part. Or the Kurdish question (again, that no one cares about). Or pick an African problem at random.

Oh, I have no doubt. Disproportionate fixation on Israel just makes my case for me, tbh. Someone learning that fixation in academia would be the least surprising thing I've heard this year.
