@Karmadhi As long as they live under hamas indoctrination this is already heartbreaking. Now at least this is going to change.

Again you fail to understand that green young liberals are not anti semetic but anti oppressors and anti colonialists. I explained to you very clearly that in their eyes Israel is a bully, oppressor and colonizer. You may disagree with it, I do not know personally to be honest but blaming it on Jewish religion is a cop out. Watch Leo videos on how stage green thinks if it is not clear to you.

I never said anything about Stage Green being anti-Semitic. I currently live in a largely stage green environment in Europe so I know the nuances, the good, the bad and the ugly. Extreme toxic stage green can definitely be anti-Semitic. Also, the whole free-Palestine hivemind is heavily blue and red with suckered-in green people. I just cannot stress enough how mindless and self-defeating the whole movement is, c'mon isn't that obvious!? 

Furthermore, I know stage-green people that are sympathetic to Israel because they are thoughtful complicated people that don't mush the world into a narrow narrative.

I would say that within Israeli society I am very stage green, general atmosphere of compassion and issues like gay rights and minority rights. But when dealing with outside enemies such as Hamas I am all stage blue underlined with Western democratic principles.

Why not? Most of the world including USA, UK are in favor of it. I think the whole world except Israel is in favor of it. If you will go against the entire world you need to have a pretty good reason for it.

I said I was for two states. It just seems to as the most realistic solution though it must be approached extremely carefully to not compromise on security. The Gaza pull-out was basically a two-state solution in miniature but it ended up backfiring for everyone involved.

Would you say Israel does not oppress Palestinians?

For sure, but it is complicated because the potential for barbarity from the Palestinians/Arabs is enormous so Israel has to take security measures against that. Also, the day-to-day live of Palestinians in peacetime time is objectively not that bad and in relative wealth and sovereignty.

I think toxic stage green is anti zionist not anti Jewish. They are against Zionism and Israel because to them Israel is a colonizer and oppressor. Hence they reject it and want it gone. But that has nothing to do with religion per say. They would not mistreat Jews for being Jews. You need to make the distinction between Zionism (political movement) and Judaism (the religion). You seem to treat them as 1 thing.

Zionism-Oppressor colonizer white supremacist thief of land: This is how extreme stage green sees it.

Judaism- Religion, nothing special about it. This is how extreme stage green sees it.

I know because I know many of these extreme greens and to them the whole issue of Israel is based on colonialism especially since they do not consider the white Jews that came from Europe indigenous to the area. Colonialism has a horrible notation on Green societies since some time ago, green countries tended to have colonies. Therefore they react heavily against ALL forms of colonialism and they view Zionism and Colonialism as one. 

Note: I am just saying what I noticed from them, these are not my personal views.

The Arabs in Europe protesting about it are definitely blue, I was talking about the green white liberals that seem to protest about it too. Owen Jones kind of people.

Western democracies are all calling out Israel so I doubt Israel is acting according to those principles right now.

There are countless reports of harassment and oppression. I seen interviews of ex IDF people say they raided West Bank families in middle of the night when they knew they were innocent just to keep them in check.

Legit security concerns are fine but often I feel like they abuse it to just harass people and beat them into submission.

As an objective observation of toxic stage green you speak truthfully here. But Anti-Semitism has not been on a religious basis for a very long time. Anti-semitism evolves with whatever the current hivemind of the time is. I am Jewish but I am not at all attached to the Jewish religion (though I have a healthy respect for it and definitely can see the beauty in it). But I am attached to Israel, because Israel stands for the survival of the Jewish people. And what do modern extreme left anti-semites love to hate and demonize? ... Exactly!

He is exceptionally stupid but a great example of the self-defeatism inherent in the free-palestine hivemind: He praises and romanticizes the Houthis for standing up for the suffering people of Gaza. But what is the Houthi motto? Death to Jews, Death to Israel, etc.   
And what happens if you bring death to Jews? ...Palestinians in Gaza that suffer.

Dont you find it lowkey racist? I do not want to sound rude but I did some research about it and it seems they glorify treating Jews better than Gentiles and do not see all equal before God. Also they glorify and support genocide against their enemies (Amalek seed). I read this from a Jewish author actually. I am just asking here, I do not claim to be an expert on the area. I know some people that dislike Jews because they say "they see us as lesser".

I am sure even if Israel was gone as an entity Jews would be fine. Europe spoils them these days so they would fare well. Also they seem to be educated and tons of connections. I dont know why they chose the Middle East to settle in. That is basically looking for trouble. Settling in USA or some island would be far better for them.

Because of the way Israel acts. This is the elephant in the room you keep ignoring. I think you should educate yourself on their devilry otherwise you put all the blame on "anti semetism" and ignore Palestinian oppression.

Ignorant and irrelevant.

Definitely not, I can see when somebody has legitimate criticism or is just being mindlessly ugly, demonizing and obsessed. But yeah as I explained with the Owen Jones example you can only be effective in protecting the best interest of Palestinians if you come to the insight of...

"Wait... Israelis are actually very respectable people with the legitimate and deep human right to live on their land and defend it from those that want to harm them as the potential for barbarity of their enemies is so great." "I am still against Israeli devilry but will speak out about in a way that respects both peoples and without demonization otherwise I am essentially forfeiting my claim that I am supportive of peace and justice."

Countless people that call Hamas resistance fighters are not like that.

To rape and then murder, to burn babies and to kill your own (PLO) people and hang your people on electric polls is indeed a freedom fighting.

Of course. Tens of Millions of dollars every year are not enough for them for their basic survival 🙂

There is no indoctrination. That is a huge misconception. It's not that Palestinians are brainwashed from a young age to hate Israel. They just genuinely for themselves see whats happening and choose to fight for their land in whatever way they want to resist. Nobody is making them do anything in the same way Hamas isn't indoctrinating Palestinian refugees to want to return to their land its just what they naturally want

Isn't that the whole Israeli argument? You had to steal Palestine and now kill all these civilians in the name of "homeland" and "defense".

Is it all worth it?

Relatable. My family has given me a ton of material resources growing up, but I lacked wisdom in how to utilize those resources wisely.

A very high % of the Palestinians came to the region in the last centuries too, only a little before Israel has established. 

Classic double standard game.

It is an indoctrination.

To want something is one thing, and to give a gun to a 5 year old child, teaching him he has to kill other people including his own people in some situations is another thing.

Like IDF is any better. There are now every day reports and cases of similar things being done by the IDF. Rape, torture, murder etc.

If you think IDF is any less bloodthirsty and vengeful than Hamas at the moment you need some research to do.

The evidence is there if you search for it.

An explanation would be appreciated. You really Jewish culture is better than Muslim culture? Same shit to me to be honest. Culture is culture.

Having preferences is one thing but I can sense you see Jews as superior which is indeed a big problem. All humans have equal value.

Most Palestinians are also respectable people but they are blamed as terrorists. So it goes both ways.

Also you keep ignoring the fact that Israel is seen as a colonialist entity.

You say it here: "Their land". According to liberals it is NOT their land. It is STOLEN land. Land STOLEN by EUROPEANS.

I need to use caps because you keep ignoring this. From a liberal perspective they see white people from USA and Europe , going in and taking the land of Arabs which are obviously from that area. So they will think "Theft, colonialism, white supremacy" etc etc.

Now my question is, why is this argument not true? Personally I am unsure whether Israel is indeed colonialism, Jews may have originated from there thousands of years ago then migrated and merged with other ethnicities. 

But to me it is a bullshit logic that people go and kick off those that lived there for so long because 5000 years ago perhaps they were from there.

It is similar to Putin logic that Ukraine is not a real country because at 900 AD they were 1 entitity. 

So my question is: Why should Jews in order to feel safe, kick out others. Why this zero sum logic? Sure, Jews now have a homeland and are "safe" but at the expense of others. Is this really acceptable? Why didnt they get the homeland they deserve somewhere where they were indeed wanted.
