The irony of your piece is that you completely buy into the invalidation of Jews and any connection to their land. There are literally people everywhere calling for the Jewish homeland to be eradicated, where nearly half of the world's Jews live, and where 95% of the other half identify. Zionism isn't a theory that started 75 years ago. The idea of Jews returning to their homeland has been in the forefront of Jewish thought and prayer in every generation. Capital Z zionism is part and parcel of being Jewish. Not just in 2023. But in all generations. Zion means Jerusalem. To say you can be against the land based component of Jews (from the word Judea) means you're against Jews. We don't have to pick whether to love Jews or Palestinians. We can stop invalidating Jews and at the same time advocate for a Palestinian state living side by side. But asking for Israel to be wiped out is a call to genocide. The only thing between the river and the sea is all of Israel. Your piece lacks any understanding of the Jewish people, backed by solid DNA evidence by the way.
