Yeah. This is a really important idea. Pushing back on the narrative that israel is the ancestral homeland of Jewish people destroys the legitimacy of the zionist state. Palestinians are descended primarily from Hebrews that converted from Judaism to Christianity and Islam. While israelis are descended primarily from europeans who converted to Judaism. The lie that Jewish is a race or ethnicity and not a religion is an invention by zionists.
What do you say to my theory that Zionists recognized the largely untreated generational trauma of the Jews that were in the Holocaust and their descendants as something to be weaponized ?
That’s not just your theory. Its fact. israeli schools send kids on death camp tours in europe. I heard somewhere that they don’t use local tour guides and instead have israeli guides who’s entire job is to scare fascism into kids but I am having trouble remembering where I heard it.
I’ve been studying narcissism and generational trauma for about 5 years now, my ex’s parents were in the Holocaust and survived the camps; studying those two things makes a lot of light bulbs go on when hearing the news
