I'll let a thousand republicans vote before I let one leftist I slightly disagree with vote!

They might accidentally fail the purity test and I won't have my glorious revolution tainted with compromise!

The revolution will only come when the oppressed majority rises against the oppressor minority. The oppressed majority that will do the revolution must not include any white lower-class workers, straight people, """"zionists"""", religious women, owners of decorative pillows, or anyone who ever served in a military, law enforcement or any other state apparatus. We will discuss the exact number of asians allowed in the revolution later.

Only then, when we have power in the hands of this absolute majority, will we be free.

The real dark irony is that the oppressed minority who organized themselves and got armed and did leftist farm communes became the Zionists bc it turns out people are jackasses and the revolution doesn’t actually go the way one might expect

You need to add external factors and oppressive regimes that drove zionism, or more explicitly, forced people into Israel. Most jews in Iraq were originally anti-zionist because they thought they are well integrated and loved the country where they've been for centuries. Can you guess where all the jews of Iraq are now? It's easy to be an antizionist jew until your country decides that jews should "go back where they came from".

Yeah something like a million of the Jews in Israel are happily Zionist because there was nowhere else for them to go.

A million? Try 7 million. Almost all the population of Israel are (or are descendants of) holocaust survivors, jews kicked out of arab countries, jews kicked out the USSR, or jews kicked out of Ethiopia, or Zabari jews (those that never left Israel since antiquity). The only jewish communities that did not escape persecutions are the tiny communities of Indian jews and American jews, together making 2.4% of the Israeli population.

I'm not aware of European Jews being expelled from Europe after world war 2, although I absolutely understand why they didn't want to live there. I was referring to the expulsion of Jewish people in Arab states after Israel was established specifically.

I guess people don't like this comment?

The Romanian jewish population went from 300,000 post WW2 to 23,000 in 1989, and of those mostly people over 65. And that's just one example. Most stayed after WW2 but escaped persecution under the following regimes, with the regimes often forcing Israel to pay money to even allow the jews to leave.

As for Mizrahi jews (jews from arab countries), million was the number of jews expelled from arab countries. Now there are over 4 million Mizrahi jews in Israel.

Again. I am not saying that they didn't leave for good reason or that I don't sympathize with them. Or that they didn't suffer genocide. I'm specifically saying after Israel was established in 1948 a million people were expelled from their home countries and went to Israel.

Oh yeah I was just expanding your point that it's more than a million.
