Regardless of whether it is true or false that Jews are a target of hatred, it would not be antisemitic to think that they are. In other words, believing antisemitism exists is not antisemitic. (Personally, I believe antisemitism is absolutely real, but being anti-Israel is not antisemitism. For instance, the KKK excluded jews.)
I also think it’s not antisemitic to think that Jews would benefit from a homeland of their own, despite the fact that antisemites helped create Israel. That’s not the same as believing Jews cannot live among other people.
The cleaves between the faiths have exsisted there for thousands of years. Israel is a new power, but the participatory Abrahamic religions are not. Nor are most of the peoples there. Its best to remember European Jewish weren’t the only peoples to build up Israel.
So no Jewish peoples lived there before the State of Israel you reckon?.. hmm
Leaving the above aside, because its a dead end for both of us. The removal of any peoples, just like Israel is trying to do to the Palestinians now, won’t lead to a peaceful future.
Take it from a person whose a product of colonisations, invasions, and genocides. The marks aren’t erased by moving the opposing people on. History is always remembered, something Israel is going to learn the hard way.
The only options for the future are a form of historical pragmatism, or a continuing series of violent crimes against each other, with the turns of history favouring one population with more strength over the other at different times.
Well yeah, but now you’re saying something very different from what you were saying before. And I agree, Israel was a mistake. Unfortunately it’s a problem that’s hard to fix now.

I think you’ve gone too far with your comment.

I would not say that is an easy solution. And I do not think people should be expelled from the place where they were born.

I don’t think I can agree with “I personally want them gone from the region” in any context unfortunately. Maybe some day I’ll be disillusioned.
