Why You Should Support Israel

Even if you know not to support Hamas, you might not know why to support Israel.

According to some recent statistics, 51% of people aged 21-24 support Hamas. However, even among people who don't support Hamas, they tend to see Israel as at fault too, and even if it's not equal amounts of fault, they are still not fans of Israel. I tend to blame the Baby Boomers, since I think they just mindlessly supported the status quo because it made them rich and now Gen XYZ is using the exact same logic and mindlessly opposing it due to being poor, but that’s another topic for another day.

For one, Israel is not an apartheid state. This is probably the single most important thing to understand, but Israel is not close to being equally at fault. Israel is one of the most moral countries in the world even if there are plenty of valid criticisms of things Israel does, just like any other country.

This video explains that even other Arab countries didn’t want to take in the Palestinians:

This article explains how much Palestinian support for Hamas there is:

Palestine has turned down multiple two-state solutions as well as the other Arab states not wanting the Palestinians.

Palestinians want to remove all Jews from Israel whether by expulsion or genocide, despite the numerous two-state solutions being offered to them. This has always been the only goal of the Palestinians as a whole, which is why “from the river to the sea” is now banned as a slogan in Germany, which, despite how many people think of it due to infamous parts of its past, has done a good job at becoming quite possibly the least Nazi country in the world.

Even most young Jews don’t understand that Jews actually are an indigenous group to Israel and the Palestinians came later with the Arab Conquest, even if that seems like an old historical event to most people.

Lots of people make supporting Israel seem like a move for old Republican Boomers, but old Republican Boomers only support Israel to the extent they support the status quo. Additionally, if you’re left-wing, why would you support Hamas over Israel? Israel is one of the few places in the Middle East you won’t get stoned or beheaded if you identify as LGBTQ+. Israel’s military has gender equality and drafts women. Israel, contrary to some misinformed opinions that it is an apartheid state, is the most ethnically-diverse state in the world. Left or right you should be supporting Israel against its opponents who literally want to annihilate it by killing all the people who live there, which generally means exterminating Jews, and not by establishing some kind of Noam Chomsky-style anarcho-syndicalist kibbutz system, no matter what criticisms of Israel you may have.

I shall continue blaming the Booming Babies I mean Baby Boomers for why so many people support Hamas, because blind support for your country is not support at all, much like when in the Book of Job Satan told God that he thought Job would stop having faith in God if things went badly for Job. Support for America and the rest of the establishment of Western democracy that vanishes once things are not going as well is not support for it at all, which is why I largely consider the Baby Boomers to almost be traitorlike, especially since most of the things attributed to them were simply things that their parents did while the Boomers themselves were still children. Since I had to teach myself things like why you should support Israel, now I shall take the responsibility to teach other people in Gen XYZ why we should, too.
