> edit: And I say bigot because I was including Palestine's demise as well but apparently you're fine with non-Jews getting slaughtered since you only seemed concerned with Jews, you racist.

I don't want any of them to get slaughtered, and I would staunchly argue that I am an advocate of individualism and outright reject racism.

The thing is, when you opposed Israel - the only truly safe place in the world for Jewish people, a very tiny religious minority - you're basically also opposing the Jews for that reason.

Supporting BDS is anti-Semitic since Israel is the Jewish homeland for this tiny religious minority now, and oftentimes you will find the anti-Israel sentiment expressed with sentiments of racism and genocide against the Jews.

Also, much of that anti-Israel sentiment is completely devoid of any context of how the Palestinians and Arabs have acted against the Jews in the past. It's also just assumed that the Jews invaded the land and took over as opposed to moving into and often purchasing unoccupied wasteland and terraforming it into productive land through blood, sweat, and tears, nor that the British were governing the area and designated the area for the Jews; that concept never even occurs to the anti-Israel people. You would think that many of the anti-Israel people never heard of The Mufti, the PLO, Palestinian terrorist attacks, or how the Arabs tried to or at least intended to genocidally exterminate the Jews in the 1940s and 1960s. That sort of willful ignorance by people on the Left is anti-Jew.

They all need to read Exodus and The Haj, excellent historical fiction novels to expose themselves to a different perspective.
