Anyway What does the State of Israel stand for? At its core, Israel defines itself as a Jewish and democratic state. That’s laid out clearly in its 1948 Declaration of Independence, which speaks of equality for all its citizens, regardless of religion, race, or sex. It also pledges freedom of religion, conscience, language, education, and culture.
In practice, what Israel stands for has evolved with its elected governments, some emphasizing security, others human rights, some leaning more secular, others religious. But the foundational idea remains: a national homeland for the Jewish people that also upholds democratic principles and civil rights.
That’s not a fantasy or talking point, it’s a documented self-definition. Whether or not its actions always live up to that ideal is fair to debate. But if we’re going to criticize or support a state, it should be based on what it claims to be and how well it lives up to that claim, not on what any of us emotionally want it to represent. Just like the white supremacy you claim it's enforcing, something I don’t agree with, and you go and grab a Jew to wedge between my criticism and yourself like a certified pussy.
If you think that makes Israel a supremacist state... you are s loony imho
