I hate to have to repeat this, but ethnostates are bad
seen a rather disingenuous tweet by a leftie saying that calling for the abolition of israel will inevitably lead to genocide and displacement, which couldn’t be more wrong. when socialists say israel must be abolished, it’s because by definition it’s a state that relies on the
supremacy of one group of people to maintain its ethnoreligious character. But the reality is that the colonisation project is now 70 years old, there’s no way that sending millions of people who aren’t faulted with being born in occupied territories anywhere else is viable
SO, when we say abolish israel, it means creating a unified socialist state with no official religion or language, full right of return to people’s homes and indeed the country (there’s 700,000 Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, for example)
I’m guessing some skeptics are wondering why we go “on and on” about Israel, and that’s because it’s situation really is unique. It’s not too dissimilar to the Union of South Africa, and we know how much unique international attention that got. There are other states that should
Be abolished, but I can’t think of many that should be so because of apartheid
