25. That's not criticism you level against any other country....

Also, the reason you call Israel a racist endeavor, and not Putin's Russia, is because you're against Jewish self-determination altogether. You call it a racist endeavor because you're delegitimizing the very existence of the state you want gone. You want to take the Jewish people's right to self-determination away, unlike any other nation or group of people. The Jews are not worthy of their own nation & do not deserve their own sovereignty, therefore death to the Jewish state of Israel.

That's what you believe.

And that is racist because you would never do that against any other group of people on the planet. It's worse, considering what happens to Jews when we are a vulnerable, quite helpless minority in any nation on the planet. You know very well what would happen to a minority of Jews under fascist Hamas/PLO control and you don't give a shit. How is it possible to be anti-racist, yet not give a shit how a minority of Jews under Hamas/PLO control would fare?

Where am I wrong?
