    instead of directly in the middle of people who hate them the most.

    It’s not even that. Zionists caused the Middle East to hate Jews.

      Yeah, nah. Their neighbors declared war on Israel the literal moment Israel was founded. They hadn’t even had time to piss anyone off.

        Because the very creation of Israel was a settler colonialist state ethnically cleansing the local population.

        I would say their neighbours had plenty to be pissed off about.

            Yes? Especially if the territory of that state is forcibly taken away from others who are living on it

            Creating the United States was similarly terrible as it involved the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Native Americans. Same with Australia. Same with South Africa. Same with Rhodesia.

            Forcibly taking someone’s home and cleansing an area of an ethnicity is certainly regarded as one of the worst actions a group of people can do. And rightly so

      Blaming Jews for the antisemitism they experience is antisemitism 101, buddy.

        Uh… We should be counting from 1917, and before that point anti-semitism in the Middle East wasn’t anything close to the point it is today.
