The country is working through diplomatic channels to try to stop the warrants being issued by the International Criminal Court, an Israeli official told NBC News on Monday.
I think the biggest factor is, even though we’re talking about Jewish people, its also in christian dogma that jewish people inherit that land. So after ww2 when largely christian nations were restructuring the area, they made sure the jews get their holy land. At the expense of palestinians that werent even involved in the war.
Because the Holocaust happened and although Jewish people weren’t the only demographic to be murdered by nazis, they did face the brunt of it. Add to that a 2000 yr diaspora and you can see why they would like a homeland.
The problem is Palestinian people lived on that land for 2000 years so they have a right to it as well.
Imo the best thing to do is divide Israel in half and give Jewish and Palestinian equal portions. But we’re a long way from that happening, if ever.
Like I get that 80 years ago something horrible happened, but these guys just keep on and on about how bad t is the only Jewish state in the world.
Why does that matter? Why is protecting an ethnostate so important?

And they could also get Jews out of Europe by giving them the promised land. Very convenient.

They are hardly the only diaspora that’s been through traumatic events. Ethnostates always end up this way.
And?
And we shouldn’t be forcing anyone out to make new ethnostates. It’s the worst form of colonialism.
Where did I say force anyone out?
You don’t need to say it. It’s implied in colonialism.
