    Correct and Balfour, the man who penned the document, was a conservative christian. And the declaration was ratified and backed by the almost entirely christian parliament. That jews are predominantly responsible for being the dogs who carry out western atrocities in israel is a given. That’s a basic fact. Why can’t you acknowledge the christian colonialist component of zionism without falling back on making that basic fact the centerpiece of your reply? It’s really weird. I’m not asking you personally yo take responsibility for this. I’m just asking us all to acknowledge that this is no longer really a “jewish” project. It’s racist nation state domination with a jewish skin.

      But I do.

      That jews are predominantly responsible for being the dogs who carry out western atrocities in israel is a given.

      The zionist jews and zionist christians had alluance based on having a common target. There is no master/dog relstion here

      this is no longer really a “jewish” project

      It was always a colonial project backed by other colonial powers and different interests. No wonder those imperialist power quickly recognized an illigitimate state

        Sorry, I think I was arguing a bit past you earlier, on closer examination I think we’re mostly on the same page. I’m just used to being surprised by the difference in reactions to self-criticism between US and UK commenters so I was probably a bit too on guard! Your clarifications here make it all make sense.
