  • I see where you’re coming from and I agree with a lot of it. IMO though no matter what you do, racists will always find a way to treat you worse because it’s nothing rational. If there are people from your country behaving like shit (and probably from mine too lol), that’s just an easy excuse to justify something that would otherwise be hard to justify.

    I wasn’t even born yet but apparently still in the 70s/80s Germans had a huge hatred between Catholics and Protestants and they also treated German refugees from Eastern territories after WW2 the same way they treat refugees from Syria or Afghanistan today. Hell, Syrian refugees in Lebanon & Jordan have faced crazy racism and they are literally the same people if it wasn’t for imaginary borders drawn by the British a hundred years ago.

    So at least personally I stopped trying to be a "good citizen“, because to a lot of people you can’t make it right anyway even if everyone sharing my ethnicity were THE perfect citizen. But yeah, it’s just a different angle than yours.







  • This is just not true. In apartheid Israel if you’re Jewish you are very privileged and you can deny service. Also, no one is gonna kill you, Israelis travel to Egypt, Jordan, etc. just fine unfortunately. And most of them are either still in the IDF or were part of it at some point. They join the IDF because they want to and because they are Zionists, not because they are forced to.

    Idk what kind of bs this is you’re spreading, but just because they’re not the incarnation of Ben Gurion it doesn’t mean they’re innocent. If you are part of an entity that commits war crimes you are complicit.



  • You can totally not join the IDF there are many people not doing it it just strips you off the opportunity to get lucrative army jobs and you are definitely being stigmatized in Israeli society and potentially even your own family, but you are not risking your personal safety by not joining this genocidal apartheid occupation force. It’s a question of taking a stand. Do you want to be at the very least complicit in war crimes being committed, yes or no?
