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.

I saw the same this evening over a post someone made about Iran. Her husband is Iranian and she was trying to explain his happy he was with the possibility of being free and the precise targeting of the regime. She referenced Israel in a positive light and then came the usual. Same ignorance. Same propaganda driven garbage taking the post away from what was for her a heartfelt post
