i love saying that germany should have been turned into israel, but ultimately ethnostates shouldn’t exist. if the USSR won the nuclear weapon race, Stalin wouldn’t have had to stop at berlin and we’d have a multiethnic germany and Palestine and Jewish ppl would thrive in both
but in reality germany should have given reparations to Jewish people in the form of massive tracts of land and have full equality with all other ppl there, becoming full members of german society for the first time in history. Jewish ppl had a unique position in europe as an oppressed people and giving them a state outside of europe and basically telling them to gtfo kind of shows how they were seen as “not authentically european”
It’s always hilarious when you bring this up and Germans get extremely upset. Like dog you are already supporting this but elsewhere. What about this makes you so angry in particular 🤔🤔
Unironically I think the land we cleared of Germans to give to Poland and Russia would have been better as a Jewish state if we really had to have one. On top of using the land of the people being punished for the Holocaust instead of an unrelated third party's land, it's around where most European Jews had lived already anyway.
Of course that doesn't take into account that Europen countries supported the Zionist project precisely because it got all the Jews to leave Europe.
TBH, the idea that there must be a Jewish state strikes me as a loud and open admission that if the St.Louis was out there today, people across the world would still insist they be turned away.
Right now the policies most of the NATO-aligned powers have towards boats full of people fleeing war zones to claim asylum is to ram the boats and shove the survivors in prison camps.

One of the sentences of all time
I have a thought. If the Germans owe me for 65 years worth of back rent—and I owe the Native Americans for 65 years worth of back rent—why don’t I let the Native Americans collect directly from the Germans? Cut out the middleman!
Edit: Okay I only know you can do that because a friend of mine did that recently and through correspondence Marc divulged to my friend that he was planning a follow-up documentary. If everyone emails him for a copy, he might go through with it.
