To be fair to the Zionists of that period, if some of the planet's major forces had just tried to wipe me out completely, I'd also be radicalised and fight to create a little space for myself to be safe in.
Despite what many anti-Zionists say, I don't think the founding of Israel had to do with Jewish supremacism or religious zealotry nearly as much as "ok, we really need a country for ourselves, to survive."

After Oct 7 it's impossible anyway, but over the decades Israel has been a lot more open to the idea of a peaceful two state solution and willing to accept compromise.
It's sadly generally been rejected by the broad population of Arabs/Muslims, due to Islamic and Arab-supremacist mythology.
Mixed into that is also some anti-imperialist mythology, where Israel is seen as "evil westerners taking our land" despite Jews being indigenous to the region and a large portion of Israel's population consisting of Jews who moved there from neighbouring Muslim countries in which they were less safe.
Western leftists, being stupid about Islam, have chosen to pretend as if the main reason isn't just religious zealotry and antisemitism of Muslims, and have instead focused purely on the anti-imperialist myth, which to be fair is at least a half-truth given that Israel is allies with "the west."

A colony is when foreigners exert power over your country and extract its resources. Israel isn't a colony; it's just where Jews live now. (And they had lived there before but that's not relevant either way IMO.)

When people say "Free Palestine" ask them what exactly that means, and most Palestinians will unfortunately say it means the destruction of Israel, and Palestinians ruling the entire region, with Jews either under their rule, or gone.
Would strongly recommend watching some of the videos here:

It's incredible that otherwise smart people can believe something as utterly insane as what you've just said. It's close to being a flat earther.
So you're advocating for the complete abolition of:
* Female-only sports
* Female-only restrooms
* Female-only locker rooms
* Female-only political groups
This is a return to medieval sexism.
Women won't be able partake in sports at all with the exception of a few tiny niches.
Many women will avoid traveling because they'll be scared about what might happen if they need to use the toilet. (See: "urinary leash." Historically known phenomenon before wide availability of female-only restrooms.)
Women generally won't be able to attend swimming pools, gyms, etc. unless they find some safe opportunity to change their clothes, because otherwise they'll need to get naked in front of male strangers.
Women won't be able to challenge any of this because any time they try to organise, men will barge in and say they're plotting evil schemes to exclude men.
This is morally and intellectually on the same level as being a far-right extremist lunatic like Nick Fuentes. Do you not see how utterly insane it is?
By the way, I don't decide who is and isn't a woman. Physical reality does.
I'm not excluding people with penises from whatever word we use to describe people with vulvas. It's a physical reality that these two different types of anatomy exist.
It's also a physical reality that members of the former group have very significant advantage in athletic performance, such that separation in sports becomes necessary if you want people in the latter group to be included in sports.
And it's a social reality that the former group endanger and bother the latter group to such an extent that separation becomes necessary.
You're drunk on insane theories whose application would lead to a complete exclusion of women from public life.
Get out of this extremist echo chamber man.
You're turning left/liberal politics into a

There are many cases in life where exclusion is a good solution.
Excluding men from female-only spaces is a good solution to men bothering women.

Oh god are you also one of those guys screeching about "muh evil women oppressing men"? :blobcat-joy:
Because some people will hear someone screeching on social media and ask themselves wtf that's about. So they can read the FAQ.

They don't understand that nobody outside their dumb little echo chambers take these accusations really seriously. So they think it's hilarious that her website would just calmly refute all the BS.
