I found this post on Reddit that was taken down and the account was banned for being antisemitic according to the mods.
Is this antisemitism or a criticism of the argument that Israel belongs to the Jews because apparently it is their ancestral home? And why or why not?
Post:
“What’s up with the people who say that the Jews are native to Israel?
Are the Jews native to anywhere? I thought that they were just a tribe of desert dwellers that were wreaking havoc in biblical times committing genocide after genocide in the name of their sky daddy until somewhere is history they ended up in Europe and parts of Africa.
Can someone shine light to where are the Jews even from?”
Part of the problem is probably in the use of the word ‘Jew’. Many Jewish people prefer to being called Jewish over being called a Jew, as it can be derogatory.
I thought it was just an abbreviation without any derogatory implications.
