Tom Richardson Ph.D. @cascadetommy.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Israel exists because when it was formed, and for decades before, it was emphatically not the case that "jewish people [could] literally exist anywhere in the world". 310
gambalunga.bsky.social @gambalunga.bsky.social · 18/09/2026And that somehow justified the displacement, by force of arms and/or money, of the Palestinians? In the early 1900s less than 8% of the population of Palestine was Jewish. Perhaps we should create a new country for the Palestinians; Florida, renamed Palestinia, would be good. 110
Tom Richardson Ph.D. @cascadetommy.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I did not say that. Without european anti-semitism, I believe the desire for a Jewish nation would have been much different. I don’t see how your option is different in principle than the British, league of nations, or united nations decisions leading to the establishment of Israel. 100
