The vast majority of Humans are also descended from the Jewish people of the Torah. In fact, half of the people I know have an Ashkenazi Grandfather or Great-grandfather. So, why can't we all be part of the state of Israel, too? Isn't that the easiest solution? [I know, I know - the oral law and the nations, and all of that - but can't the rabbis just cross out those parts?]
Every human should have a country they could call home.
There are many Christian countries, and many Muslim countries, does it bother you so much if there’s one tiny Jewish country?
Every Christian country that has been around long enough has at some point persecuted and/or expelled its Jews.
Israel’s definition of Jew is not based on Rabbinic law - it’s based on who the antisemites considered Jewish enough to persecute.
Who are the antisemites? Are you implying people are born antisemite? If so, please pray for better eyes and ears.
The vast majority of people have never seen or interacted with a rabbinic Jew. People only see the country of Israel, which apparently has authority over Judaism. And, Israel has always been a bad actor. But, it's fixable! Don't lose hope. Israel can one day be a positive force for the world.
