Why does my family cling to Israel and Israel's continued existence? Simple. You see, when we were being persecuted and killed by the Nazis, and my family was chased out and was stripped of their citizenship, they tried to go to America. Only America turned them away. They had nowhere else to go. No one would accept them. No one wanted them. You know the only place that did? Israel

#lost more than half my family #a lot of people I will never know and will never meet #this is for the “destroy Israel” and “go back to Europe” morons by the way #we remember #Israel's existence does not mean that there can't be a palestinian state ffs #for many of us diaspora jews it's literally just a safe place we know we can come back to #if you want to have a mature serious discussion with me on i/p you drop the “death to israel” nonsense and educate yourself #on the holocaust on the thousands of years of persecutions and expulsions on the many forms of antisemitism #on the actual history of israel and our indigeneity to the region - noa tishby has an excellent book on it #and only then you can come back and debate policy with me like an adult #not a child stamping their foot demanding jews die or be expelled #antisemitism #leftist antisemitism #jumblr #jewish history
