Israel is 80 years old, I was born here and I’m 25 years old. The funny thing is my parents immigrated from Russia so you probably won’t want me there either (me too). Your argument is bad.

I feel like you're just repeating my point here rather than criticizing my argument in any way.

Why should anyone be opposed to you living in Russia?

  • Because I’d have been used as a cannon fodder in the war in Ukraine. And then you’d criticize me for being a Russian soldier.

    Anyway your argument is bad in multiple layers, I don’t have any other passport and I live in a home that is younger than 80 years as most Israelis do

    • > I don’t have any other passport

      You don't need one, it is very easy to emigrate to many western countries as an Israeli passport holder. There's also a chance you qualify for one of the EU citizenship schemes for jewish descendants. You don't have to choose to live in an apartheid state.

      At least if you only held a Russian passport you could plausibly claim that it's somewhat difficult to move anywhere nice.

      > I live in a home that is younger than 80 years as most Israelis do

      I guess that makes it better. Truly, a shining example of Israeli moral superiority.

      I can easily find ownership records going back more than 500 years for the land I live on. Odds are it'd be trivial to go even further.

      What about the land you live on? Who owned it 100 years ago and how'd it end up in your possession? How do you think those records would tend to look in Israel? What kind of stories do you think they would tell? Would it be a good look for Israeli people?

    I don't know. Why did the Cossacks oppose Jews living in Russia?

Your parents "immigrated" from Russia to steal land. You should be blaming your parents. Your argument is bad.

  • Is this what every American tell themselves when they wake up in the morning? Or that what every Arab says to himself outside of Yemen, Saudi and Oman?

    • Yes every morning I wake up and think, why are my tax dollars going towards a parasitic entity who has taken complete control over our government to fight it's wars for them when we can barely afford basic necessities at home.
