“All of these countries are ethnostates! Why can’t we have one? Because we’re Jewish?”
“Because genocide.”
“Point being?”

Those are also not ethnostates
It doesn’t matter if there are dozens of ethnic minority groups in a country. When it comes to justifying the worst evil, they all get lumped into “whites” and “Asians” or “blacks”
Just as it has been for centuries. Race “scientists” usually divide humanity in to three overall races. “Caucusoids” and two other “-oids” based on the Mongols and the n word.
An important thing to raise here is that the minority don’t just live in the countries, they also get equal rights. Zionists flip-flop between wanting Israel to be an ethnostate where the minorities should be killed/removed and an apartheid state with Palestinians as an eternal underclass.
It was actually a controversial dilemma among early Zionists in the Yishuv since many understood that things would get permanently more complicated if Arabs are even “permitted” as an underclass, as their planned Jewish state will eventually come to rely on them as an exploitable labor force among other things. It’s the same way that the South African government trying to “separate an omelette” with Apartheid, as the last President before its dismantlement pointed out.
Japan is sort of an ethnostate, though not as starkly so as Israel (nor as starkly so as “homogeneity” chuds pretend it is)
Also it’s not like any of us don’t criticize Japan, we have the emoji for several reasons
Wow, I didn’t know that the Mongolians expelled the original European inhabitants of Mongolia and interned the rest into an open-air concentration camp
Also, lmao @ Zionists juggling the “there is no Genocide in Ba Sing Se”, “ackshully Hamas is genociding Jews”, and “genocide is good actually” cards at the same time.
I feel like their arguments always eventually become “Well other countries got to do genocide or colonialism, why can’t we?”
Ethnostate is when your population is predominantly one ethnicity. This is why America is not a settler colony, while China is. I am very smart. What are “policies”?
Fascists all have the same talking points. Indian Hindutva fascists bring up all the countries with a state religion to justify having their own ethnostate.
Estonia and Armenia were part of a secular multicultural state.
I was (charitably) listening to a podcast episode on the phenomenon of left antisemitism yesterday and on the topic of anti-zionism one host claimed leftists not giving the same level of attention to Hindutva fascism was indicative of antisemitism. I’m sure this will grow to become more of a thing in left consciousness; already Hindutva fascists managed to get Newsom to veto the California state bill outlawing caste discrimination, so their role in the US has reached the point of influencing domestic politics. To me it’s obvious that anti-zionism occupies more space on the left because I keep running into people who served in the IDF in professional circles and you can get fired for speaking out against zionism and our government just gave israel however many billions of dollars and celebrated it. Zionism thrusts its way into my life unavoidably; israeli and US society are very tightly integrated.
claimed leftists not giving the same level of attention to Hindutva fascism was indicative of antisemitism.
I’d say this is not correct and is probably because Israel is undertaking an extremely violent and naked genocide campaign that the USA primarily funds and the other Western allies support and defend. It’s always gonna get more attention unless the BJP government decides to do something extremely bad.
