In reply to the discussion: Hundreds of rabbis accuse Mamdani of fueling antisemitism over 'monsters' comment [View all]Eko
(10,197 posts)137. Here is Israel's first prime minister David Ben-Gurion's thoughts on it.
"This law does not provide for the State to bestow the right to settle upon the Jew living abroad; it affirms that this right is inherent in him from the very fact of being a Jew; the State does not grant the right of return to the Jews of the diaspora. This right preceded the State; this right built the State; its source is to be found in the historic and never broken connection between the Jewish people and the homeland."
Notice how it is the inherent right of all Jewish people to live there regardless of where they come from.
Its not that they have an inherent right to have a country like you are talking about, its an inherent right to live in that area specifically.
Can you show the equivalent for the USA?

So, for you, the problem is not the ideology of AIPAC. It's just that it's not 100% successful.

Oh, how is it not the case? I see no argument here. Just a vacuous statement.

Your supposed "truth" is irrelevant and is a feeble distraction from the main point.

You keep pointing at who is funding it when many people other than Jewish people fund it also.
