Israel is a nation predicated on maintaining power in the hands of a particular ethnic people. the justification for this is a dispossessed people have a right to rule their own nation on their historical territory, after having faced genocide. My question is, should this be applied to other nations where an ethnic group has faced genocide and had their lands taken?
In the US, Native Americans faced persecution and dispossession, so should the US implement policies to ensure the non-Native American population can't rise above 20%, and that most positions of power are held by Native Americans? What policies would people who think Israeli ethno-nationalism is justified like to see in nations where the indigenous inhabitants have faced dispossession and genocide, such as the US, Australia or Canada, in order to restore the indigenous population in a way that is justified by Israel?
I guess your blatant anti-semitism doesn't count as racism to you then.
Seriously, "rabid" seems to be a very appropriately chosen part of your name.
Wow, Spud, it took until post #18 until someone dropped an anti-Semitism allegation, I'm actually impressed with the restraint shown! :lol: :roll:
In answer to your question, though, no, I don't think it would work anywhere else, primarily because clearly it's not working in Israel.
