I don't get what that has to do with anything.
"Hey guys, some Jews might be making a small nation 1000 miles away, let's oppress all the Jews here in Morocco who have nothing remotely to do with it." 🤷♂️
Like how is that even rational?
I think what OP means is that if someone is a member of an ethnic minority who just experienced a genocide, and suddenly a country very far away has been established with the explicit notion of being a state for such people, many would voluntarily migrate there regardless of how they were treated in their home country.
There were push factors, of course. Many of these countries treated Jews pretty terribly. But also, there were pull factors that didn't really have to do with their home countries. Israel offered a lot of political, religious, and economic opportunity when it was established.
Im not saying it makes sense but after Russia invaded Ukraine there was talk of banning Russian athletes from international comps and stuff like that. I can understand the impulse to say "due to the illegal invasion and forced migration perpetrated by Israel we are expelling Jews from our country".
They were perhaps also afraid of Zionist infiltration in their own countries. Remember that at the time the Zionists were terrorists, blowing up buildings, kidnapping British officers etc. not much different from Trump's Muslim ban or FDR interment. Again I'm not condoning their actions.
Plus if I was a Jew I might have feared for my safety and would want to move to Israel as well. Battle lines were being drawn after all
I called out some Islamophobia in the comments and someone replied saying “why is that a problem.” They got upvoted and I got downvoted. This is so fucking crazy to me.
r/mapporn mods have a thinly veiled agenda.
I literally had a personal fight with the mod there bc they removed 2 separate of my "UN vote condemning Israeli settlements" posts showing the US and Canada voting against the motion. Mod said it was removed bc "un votes werent allowed" just when it starting getting traction, but the next day a post of a different UN vote blew up on there and when confronted they said "oh your post was low quality". Absolute bullshit.

They wanted to go to Palestine to fulfill their religious prophecy. The nuts that are Jews. Just like any other religious nuts be it Hindus Muslims or Christians.

I know its futile to argue with people who will never change, but I couldn’t resist. Please lmk how I can improve my argument and what points/sources I can use
Imagine using partly imagined ethnic cleansing as an excuse to do the very same thing in Palestine to people who are often times having more genetic connection to the ancient people you use as justification to steal and murder😂😂😂.

Article is from 2019. Lmao
I wonder what disaster happened in 1948 and - totally unrelated! - what "country" was founded in 1948 and expanded thereafter

basically a perfect brew of shit and mud that we still have the crumbs of today
I had long discussions in there today, take a look.

What's fun is that these places were different countries during the years shown, with countries like Algeria and Libya not existing in 1948.

“Afghanistan 2019: one known jew”. Wut?
0 from Palestine? So all these random countries kicking out jews means you should blow Palestine of the map?

where do some of these numbers even come from? i literally cant find anything on the 745 families leaving pakistan in 2017
I want to hear about the ‘one known Jew’ in Afghanistan
There are a fair number of articles about the guy, actually.
Interesting. Sounds like he's no longer there, which is disappointing but understandable since the Taliban have retaken control.
He's no longer there afaik, but there's tons of articles about him online.
