  • For alot of older Jewish Americans seeing the rise of Israel was very inspring and subsequently Israel has been seen through rose colored glasses by these people. My grandfather was 23 when the Nakba happened, but to him Israels founding was a miracle. To him it made Jews look strong, whereas the holocaust was the epitome of weakness.

    He is 98 now and the concept of Israel being built on genocide will never resonate with him. The idea that Israel deserves to fail, that it is illegitimate, is incomprehensible. It has bad leadership, but the Palestinians have even worse leadership. Thats the real problem.

    The good news is that none of his grandchildren will ever view Israel the way he does. I don’t see strength in Israeli Jews. I reject the zionist notion that genocidal Jews are strong and Jews under a genocide were weak and pathetic. Its all bullshit.
