It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but I’ve noticed something that never seems to change.

Any thread that so much as mentions the word “Israel” or “Jew” somehow spirals - almost without exception - into a frenzied debate about the legitimacy of Israel’s existence. It doesn’t matter what the thread is actually about. The gravitational pull is always the same: reduce the conversation to “Zionism = evil” and “Israel = colonialism” as if that’s the starting point for any serious discussion.

It’s absurd.

Not because hard questions shouldn’t be asked - ask away. But because no other country is dragged to the dock of history every single time its name appears. Not even regimes with genocidal pasts or present-day authoritarianism. Only Israel. Only the world’s one Jewish state.

It’s like every time someone posts about Australia, the replies descend into “White Australia has no right to exist,” as if the only acceptable stance is that the entire country is illegitimate and should be dismantled. It’s reductive. It’s dishonest. And it’s telling.

Jews were in the Land of Israel before the word “Palestine” ever existed. We didn’t show up in 1948 like colonial tourists. We didn’t invent our connection in a European drawing room. Our claim isn’t new. It’s ancient, indigenous, spiritual, and physical. You don’t have to agree with every Israeli policy to accept that Israel is a real, sovereign nation with a right to exist - just like every other imperfect country.

The obsessive return to questioning Israel’s very existence doesn’t reveal or express any passion for justice but a pathological fixation that reeks of exception and prejudice - that tired and transparent obsession with the one country some people just can’t stomach existing, let alone succeeding.

It is a bit like walking into a Bunnings or Officeworks at this Wesfarmers company down in Australia.

Like having a micro war at every store.

With the anti trust regulator almost like the United Nations Human Rights Council,

all bias and no bite,

with everything being political.

That is like the Israel Iran war.

The war just continues on and on and on.

They don’t have know what the XXXX they’re doing, but then again does anyone?

You have to feel sorry for the Shah and absolutely seething at Jimmy Carter, the Peanut Brain Farmer of a President.
