Hi, Jew here: I was with you until you started slandering dissenters as "rootless cosmopolitans"—a slur has cost my family dearly—from jobs and enrollments to several dozen of our very lives.
Yes, NO land is an "economic zone" while it is also a home. I feel this especially acutely having grown up in the San Francisco Bay Area where My friends and I struggle to compete for housing with the best and the brightest from the entire world over who, themselves, treat my home region less like a community and more like an understaffed amusement park.
Nevertheless, your blood quanta framing is utterly horrifying to me, someone whose family were murdered, lands stolen, and who has no country to go back to.
We are not by choice "rootless cosmopolitans", but by the very bigotry you espouse.
I have nothing against you, and was unaware of the historical usage of the phrase rootless cosmopolitan.
It's terrible that as you say your family has no country to go back to. I am fighting hard to ensure that doesn't happen to my family.
