Israel’s Knesset passed a resolution rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state on Thursday.

The bill, co-sponsored by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition along with right-wing parties in the opposition, was passed by an overwhelming majority of 68 votes, with only nine MKs voting against it.

Benny Gantz, seen by many leaders in the West as a more moderate figure than Netanyahu, voted in favour of the bill, along with his party.

      Don’t let israel guilt trip you into thinking their white ethnostate is part of Judaism. You are not responsible for anything they do.

      I’m part jewish myself. Israel doesn’t represent me and never has, nor has it represented my ancestors. I see a clear difference between Judaism and Israel.

      No one blames you. I certainly don’t.

      Thank you for speaking up and your words do matter. I learned the horrors of what’s going on years ago from Jewish and Israeli authors such as Ilan Pappe.

          I’m an atheist but find religions fascinating as a concept. From what I understand about Judaism,

          It’s just kind of proper fucked being Jewish.

          Is the essential Jewish experience that has been passed down to you by your ancestors for millenia, so at least you have that going for you?

          From what you say, it sounds like the main reason antisemitism still exists is zionism :/

          PS: nice username, captain Morad :D
