In reply to the discussion: Hundreds of rabbis accuse Mamdani of fueling antisemitism over 'monsters' comment [View all]

(4,891 posts)140. One could argue
that the colonists in the US were acting in the same way as Israel.
They just didn't codify it. I think the indigenous people would agree with that assessment.
The reason for the Israeli right of return is that historically Jewish people were expelled from their homes or massacred, and the founders of Israel wanted to ensure that Jewish people would always have a place of refuge. I think that it's not quite the inherent right of which you speak.
You were speaking about the Right of Return - right?

So, for you, the problem is not the ideology of AIPAC. It's just that it's not 100% successful.
