You really can't separate Zionism (the ideology to create a Jewish homeland) from the effects of the Holocaust.

While Zionism predates it, Zionism started as a national liberation project seeking to free the Jews from antisemitism especially in Russia and eastern Europe. I have old Russian Jews in my family that ran away to join the Zionist back in the 19teens.
The Holocaust gave Zionism the support and legitimacy it needed to finally pull the trigger.

However, what Zionism has become is merely another form of colonialism exploiting the outcry against antisemitism for legitimacy. It's a sad story about how capitalism co-ops and corrupts every movement it touches. If you want a case of a "successful" Zionist story, the autonomous Jewish oblast in the USSR managed to be a safe place for Jewish immigration without killing any Palestinians!

Stalin ftw.

Edit: as the usual, beaten by ff with a more comprehensive post.

the great tragedy of the early zionists is that the jews fleeing persecution in europe fled directly into the arms of british aristocrats who spent the leadup to the holocaust trying to convince literally hitler that deporting all the jews to the mandate of palestine was the best solution to the jewish question

It's not THAT difficult to dodge the draft, and if you're afraid of getting disowned by your parents or something, it's also not that hard to avoid being a combatant and you have to TRY to be a serious intelligence guy or something. Just land one of those bureaucratic office jobs where you just make a bunch of bullshit phone calls and paperwork instead if actually meaningfully contributing and sit on your rear end until you're free.

A lot of Ukrainians practicing their conga skills in Russian minefields right now had a similar idea.

Good news for people seeking information about oppressed minorities throughout human history - There have been plenty of minorities oppressed through out human history. Some of them did not stoop to the level of murdering even the dumbest and naive ravers.

good news for free riders who profit from the labor and fighting spirit of others. you can maintain your sense of moral superiority while being oppressed and genocided and there's a chance some enterprising peer of yours will murder the dumb and naive colonizing ravers on your behalf before you are slain yourself

imagine being such a white devil you post poo poo like this and try to make your audience forget that in the only free and fair elections the palestinians were allowed to have in 2006 Hamas won it in a landslide and their reward for participating in the political process was the gaza siege and turning it into the concentration camp it is today.

The Cuban Foreign Ministry issued a statement expressing its concern over the escalation of violence between Israel and Palestine, a consequence of 75 years of permanent violation of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people and Israel's aggressive and expansionist policy.

"Cuba demands a comprehensive, just and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, on the basis of the creation of two States, which would allow the Palestinian people to exercise their right to self-determination and to have an independent and sovereign State within the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital," the text adds.

It also calls for the United Nations Security Council to fulfill its mandate and put an end to the impunity of Israel, "the occupying power, of which the United States has historically been an accomplice, by repeatedly obstructing the action of the body, undermining peace, security and stability in the Middle East".

The communiqué of the Cuban Foreign Ministry concludes by calling for peace and the search for a solution through negotiation to avoid a further escalation of a conflict that has already cost the lives of tens of thousands of people.

After Holocaust survivors arrived in Israel they were mocked by Zionists for being weak

quote:

Zelinger's experience was not unique. More than two-thirds of the Holocaust survivors eventually came to Israel, and today there are an estimated 300,000 living here. They were scorned and laughed at on their arrival, seen as weak victims at a time when the state was being led by domineering fighters.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/arch...8-f7387e291335/

I don't have sources right now but I'm pretty sure the reason so many Jewish survivors were sent to Israel is because other places people wanted to go like the US were anti-Semitic and wouldn't take them
