Israel has been on dubious moral ground from the beginning. There is, perhaps, a future in which Israel either accepts existence as a pluralistic, multiethnic state, or forces Jewish settlers back into its internationally-recognized borders in order to facilitate the existence of an independent Palestinian state, but those futures seem remote and unlikely – and unless one or the other of them becomes reality, Israel will continue as it began: a settler-colonial state enforcing a regime of apartheid on the native people they have intentionally displaced, disenfranchised, and dispossessed.
I feel like there are some people who only think the holocaust was bad because it targeted Jews, and it would have been fine if the Jews were left out of it. Just to make it clear, any attempt to bring death to millions of innocent people makes you a level of evil you can never atone for. I don’t care which people they are.
I’m fairly certain the concentration camps were filled with all sorts of undesirables. Genocide of any kind for any reason is pure evil and we have to treat any perpetrators with extreme contempt.
Imagine something like that happens. How would you feel if you were the hostage that was freed? I’m no martyr and I’m sure those hostages want to live but how do you carry on knowing what was done in your name?

The Israeli Minister of Diaspora endoresed the anti-semetic National Rally candidate in the recent French election.
Israeli Prime Minister Netenyahu has been aligning with the anti-semetic Trump in the US elections.
There has always been a significant amount of anti-semetism in the Zionist coalition. Hitler’s “final solution” was his solution to the “Jewish question”, which had been explicitly talked about in Europe since at least the mid 1700s, but was popularized in 1843 with the publication of Bruno Bauer’s book “The Jewish Question”.
Before Nazi Germany came up with it’s final solution, they considered a more modest proposal of resettling their Jewish population outside of Germany, including some support for Zionist movement. Their only major opposition to Zionism was a concern that it would destabilize the region. Otherwise, it would get Jews out of Germany, thus solving their Jewish Question. Ultimately, Nazi Germany settled on a much less well structured approach of “voluntary emigration” by making life intolerable for their Jewish population, before finally settling on their final solution.
Once Israel was established, her anti-semetic neighbors seized on the opportunity to resolve their Jewish question by finally forcing out their Jewish population (who now had somewhere to go).
Zionists literally tried to ally with Nazi Germany against Britain so they could conquer Israel.
Israeli once founded realised the millions they needed weren’t coming from the rest of the world and had to change tactic to provoking neighbouring countries to force their Jewish populations to flee to them instead.
For one thing, religion needs to be removed from policy making, and people need to re-establish the secular state. Racists lose so much when they don’t have religion to fall back on to create divisions
