If you think the Jewish people doesn’t a right of self determination in their ancestral homeland, it makes you racist, yes. Every people has that right according to the UN charter. How the Jewish people choose to exercise that right is their choice, and they chose the state of Israel. Denying the Jewish people the right to self determination is racist of course.

I’m trying to make clear to you, that Israel is judged and attacked harshly for policies other western democratic nation states have as well regarding nationality and citizenship for example. At the same time Israel has a much higher proportion of citizens, that are not members of the dominant group than other nation states.
Non Jewish citizens have the same rights as Jews. There is discrimination and that needs to be addressed. However non Jews can be found throughout the institutions of the state of Israel, including university professors, army generals and Supreme Court members.
Of course it’s criticized, that’s the nature of discourse.
However, it’s also widely accepted by major organizations.
People who hide their antisemitism under an antizionist fig leaf are of course upset to be called out.
How is that different from Denmark or Poland?
How do you explain the 20% non Jewish citizens of Israel?
The IHRA working definition of antisemitism is from 2005.
It’s telling how a grass roots peace plan by Israelis and Palestinians gets downvoted here. You’re not interested in understanding or peace, it’s just about hating Israel.
Settler violence in the West Bank is unacceptable and they need to be stopped.
Sure you can call refugees building a new home settler colonialism if you want. Moving to new places and building homes is something people have done throughout history.
I used to love playing breakout, solitaire, and the other games included in the old black and white iPods.
There would have been no Nakba, if the UN partition plan had been accepted by the Arabs. They chose war instead, which they lost, resulting in the Nakba.
The existence of the Palestinian people is not under threat of destruction. This is a conflict about land.
Well from you it’s only demonization and delegitimization of Israel paired with a gross misrepresentation of international humanitarian law.
Israel is neither an ethnostate, nor a theocracy. Poland is more of an ethnostate and a theocracy compared to it.
I have not excused any apartheid or genocide. Stop gaslighting.
Extremely innovative design with great features.
Please read the law and stop embarrassing yourself.
If Israel designates a protected/safe (there’s more detail to this) zone, then it’s a war crime of Hamas to move a military objective into it. The military objective inside a safe zone does not enjoy protection.
A hospital loses its protected status once it’s used for military purposes.

Rule 10. Civilian objects are protected against attack, unless and for such time as they are military objectives.
Rule 25. Medical personnel exclusively assigned to medical duties must be respected and protected in all circumstances. They lose their protection if they commit, outside their humanitarian function, acts harmful to the enemy.
Hiding military operations under the red or Red Crescent is a war crime.
Rule 59. The improper use of the distinctive emblems of the Geneva Conventions is prohibited.
I’m including it because you seem to utterly unaware of international law.
Israel has attacked military objectives in safe zones. That is legal under international law. Hamas putting their weapons depots and operating bases in areas protected under international humanitarian law is a war crime. Attacking these is not a war crime.
Zionism is an umbrella term for a whole bunch of different ideologies. What they have in common is the belief that the Jewish people should exercise its right to self determination in the form of the state of Israel. Many Zionists see this mission already full filled as of 1948.
There’s strong disagreement also inside of Israel and among Zionists what territory is deemed sufficient.
