It shows testament to your character that when presented with new information, you changed your opinion accordingly.

That's your humanity prevailing over cultism through ethno-nationalism.

[@joge2468]

Being a Zist has nothing to do with your racism toward As. That’s a you problem. Zism is simply the belief that Js are deserving of a state of their own, where they are the majority and therefore safe, and where their culture is reflected - in the land to which they are indigenous. Izzz is no different than any Native American reservation, except for a 20% non-tribe member population.

For years, I supported Israel due to my father's influence, as he obtained his news from mainstream media sources. However, in 2017/18, I stumbled upon a video of Ross Kemp interviewing Hamas fighters, Palestinian civilians, Israeli citizens, and IDF members. This prompted me to delve deeper into the conflict and conduct extensive research. As I began studying the history of civilization up to the present day, I made a startling discovery that completely altered my perspective. This revelation was truly eye-opening and forever changed my views. I have since made it my mission to educate others, including my children, about the reality of Israel as an apartheid state.

As a Palestinian living in Occupied Jerusalem,we see and come across lots of foreigner jews (especially Americans) who are on birthright trips or any other trip with similar goals.What the Palestinian guy from Bethlehem said was true,they have more rights than any Palestinian(wether living in the west bank,jerusalem,gaza,or the in areas occuppied in 1948),and get treated and act like they're natives and owners of this land. i Always wondered when i saw them or came across them,have those people ever heard about,talked,or got exposed to Palestinians,what if I talk to them?what if i tell them a couple of the stories that either happened to me or to someone i know?would those people actually realize they're being deceived and lied to?would they empathise with Palestinians?or are we really less than humans in their eyes? Great report,lots of love and respect to those who woke up and saw the truth,and fight back against Opression,and i would be more than happy to one day have the oppurtunity to talk to one,show them around my beloved Jerusalem,and how the occupation makes our life harder each and everyday in it.

[@akhydroponics]

As a jew living in jerusalem I'm allways for dialog I wish I could take the birthright kids to eat hummus and see the whole of this land. Again terrorism is never justified by my book. It's never okay to fire a rocket or run into some ones home and kill a father in front of his kids on video cause that's what happened on Oct 7. I'm for freedom just don't give hamas anything I encouraged israelies to give money to hamas and now I feel that this was a huge mistake did the millions we gave them help gaza be free? Did hamas do a genocide or is this what you call resistance? Is kidnapping people and holding them hostage infornt of the world ever justified? It happend. Now what. I'm still in jerusalem and I still have Muslim friends and I believe that we can all be safe and free if we focus on being good to ourselves and our families. I'm proud to say I support my arab brothers by encouraging education and by doing things that will help their own community life community gardens and cleaning up the streets if your from east jerusalem you will understand that jerusalem is cleaner then halil or hebron and that not because of terrorist but because there are people who work all day to make it clean those people are both arab and Jewish and that's who I respect hard working good people that don't work in politics. If someone else is the blame for everything is terror justified or even celebrated? Your garden looks like a mess and your not cleaning it is this my fault?! Do you know how meny tones of trash i took out of silwan so that people wouldnt burn it and kill their own children from deadly smoke inhalation?! Yes israel has issues but it's still better then letting all the tribes here kill each other for honor or cause one of their daughters may date someone from the wrong tribe so let's go honor kill them all right? Is that the kind of Islam that you believe in? I mean there is good and bad people on both sides just try to be good.

"never seen before" I am curious if you are insane or if you have ignored pretty much all of history. Borders are and have never been constant. Borders always change, and the locals have to defend their lands from invaders. The so called "Palestinians" failed to defend themselves and they face the consequences of being a dominated people. There is no reason to think that borders should not change. The Nazis had much more ethno-nationalism than the Jews, so did the USSR. The Chinese currently also have significantly more ethno-nationalism than the Jews. The Native Americans also have a high amount of ethno-nationalism.

What's unproductive for the conversation is to say that concentration camps are even comparable to an apartheid system, bad as it may be. What that people went through in those hellish 40s is unique in scale and depth of depravity which needs to be respected. Respected means not reducing the weight of the event by comparing it to events which have literally happened, i.e. apartheid. If pro Palestine camp cannot make at least this empathetic concession ,(something I've at least found rare), then why would jews concede the occupation is bad? I think most sane people just check out when people say Jews are doing what's been done to them. Would you honestly take your chances at a concentration camp rather than live through the nakba, or even the current siege? Generally I think Germans and generally Europe screwed the pooch yet again, by displacing Jews and not giving them safe haven even after the atrocities, and now Palestinians pay the price.

This was meant to be controversial, but as someone well-versed in Iran’s history and culture, as well as the dynamics of Islamic countries in the Middle East and Africa, I see something different. This is a community that values unity, takes pride in its culture, and works together to defend it. Americans need to take the time to understand the perspectives of all sides. It’s not fair to solely demonize Israel for its actions without examining the broader context. Relying solely on Jewish Americans for insight into this issue is insufficient, as many have admitted they were never taught about Palestinians or Arabs. The tensions in this region are deeply rooted, and Arab leaders-often led by Iran-who oppose Israel contribute significantly to the current situation. What stands out to me is the deep sense of love and pride within these communities. While no culture or race is without its flaws, this unity is admirable. Choosing a side and demonizing Israel oversimplifies a complex issue and demonstrates a lack of understanding. For the record, I’m not Jewish nor affiliated with Israel-just someone who has studied this topic extensively and has firsthand knowledge of people living in Islamic countries.

I am a 73 year old man and I have spent the better part of my life trying to understand why I seem to always feel a certain sadness in my heart. Then I thought, maybe this had something to do with it. Hopefully this story brings out others like me. In 1963 Zionists came to my home in Casablanca Morocco, to convince my parents to send me and my little sister to Israel without them. I was 12 and my sister 9 when we started our miserable journey to the "Promised land". It destroyed our family and left me and my sister with long lasting scars neither one of us has been able to heal. Being from Morocco made it even more difficult to live in a more racist country than Morocco ever was. We had a very peaceful life as Jews living amongst Muslims in Morocco. We understood each other and helped each other. To this day, the principal advisor to King Mohamed is a Jew. But the Zionists needed boddies to fill Israel and slowly claim more and more land from the Palestinians they kept displacing. The people running Israel are not Jews. True Jews would have helped the Palestinians evolve and share in their fortunes, like we did for centuries in the Arab world. Israel claims it is defending itself? Against whom? The people they have been displacing and opressing for 80 years? Israel, my advice to you, if you want to survive, get rid of the religious zealots who run your government and join the 21st century.
