People think that Jews in Israel are a monolith, but they actually come from different places and so have vastly different points of view.
For example, European Jews tend to favor a two-state solution whereas Arab and Russian Jews tend to disagree.

And African Jews in Israel are secretly sterilised by the state so that they can’t have children. Leading to a 50% birth rate decline compared to other groups
Reuben spoke to one woman who believed she had been given a flu vaccination and had no idea she had been injected with Depo-Provera.
Another was pregnant with her fifth child when she arrived in the transit camp, where she would live for seven years. The woman in her thirties told Reuben that officials had gathered together all the new mothers in the camp and told them they would be given Depo-Provera as it would be too difficult for them to give birth Israel.
"No, we didn't want to take it, we refused. We said we didn't want it," the unnamed woman recalls in the film. She agreed to the injections only because she was told her immigration to Israel would be blocked and she would receive no further healthcare in the camps if she refused.
"This happened to many, many other women," Reuben said.
Thousands of Ethiopian Jews were evacuated into Israel through covert operations by Israel.
Assessing Claims That Ethiopian Immigrants to Israel Received Birth Control Shots Without Consent
I think you are missing the point. Jewish people who live outside of Israel can't be beholden to policies set by Israel. Its also important to note that Jewish is both a religion and a race.
Don't let the conflicts in Israel control your treatment of other humans. If we let hate overcome us we could end up with Holocaust type situations (it doesn't even need to be Jewish hate)
Also people who think all all Jews are Israelis. My wife is Canadian Jewish, and she's not very religious or political. I'm Latino and I know more about Israel than she does, but people sometimes try to put Israel's baggage on her or her family because of their ancestry. She considers herself Canadian, and her Jewish heritage is a cultural one, not a location.
Disagree as in Free Palestine or as in eliminate all moslems?
Free Palestine
You're missing one state solution. That's what's essentially going to happen as things go. They're depopulating gaza with the plan to eventually grant citizenship to the reduced population of Palestinians so they can maintain a jewish majority. West bank alone wouldn't cause a loss in majority, but Gaza would. They won't grant right of return. Though that is genocide.
But is that what the Arab Jews want?
Arab Jews were expelled from their homeland (every single Arab/Muslim country) so they don't exactly have a fond memory of living among Muslims.
But they live just fine with Israeli Arabs and just as any other human being they want to live in peace.
Only after the creation of Israel and he Nabqa. Berore that Jews and Muslims lived mostly in peace.
Forgive me, but I'm going to copy-paste another post of mine.
And more
"In 1656, all Jews were expelled from Isfahan and forced to convert to Islam because of a common belief that their Jewishness was impure."
"in 1661 they were allowed to revert to Judaism, although they were still required to wear a distinctive patch on their clothing."
nyet n yahoo doesn't care about them though.
"nyet n yahoo"
Damn, that's a good one!
I actually did not know this. Please don't eat me alive.
Ethnically or religiously?
Both. For example Ethiopian Jews
It hasn't been disproved that Ethiopian Jews are ethnically Jewish.
A genetic study showed a possible genetic link.
Yeah I'm saying that jews are not necessarily ethically and/or religiously white
They can be black, and Ethiopian jews (amongst others) overwhelmingly are
Ok this is a legit question, not trying to troll or bait... Are there African or east Asian jews? Like Jewish communities in Ghana or Thailand for example?
Yup.
Ethiopian Jews, Indian Jews, and tiny communties of Chinese and Japanese Jews.
Edit: There are more, but those are mostly Jews that ran away / were expelled from other countries.
Like Jews in Thailand who fled Russia and Iran.
Interesting, I only hear of American, European or Middle East jews.
Indian Jews are also the only ones amongst Jewish communities who haven't faced any discrimination. Despite their presence in India for around 2,000 years.
I used to know a black guy that was German by heritage
That's a country, not an ethnicity or religion.
His family came from Germany several generations back.
Yeah, thats.. not that weird really.
Yes but most (racist) people just assume he's from Africa.
In the US or what? Never seen that before.
Finally, someone else who gets it. It's so weird that so many people think all Jews came from a single tribe at the edge of the desert. That's not how religions work...
even weirder that most people seem to identify Judaism as an ethnicity and not as a religion.
Because it's both? Jews can be both semites (ethnicity) and followers of Judaism (religion). Not all Jewish people are both. To make things more confusing, not all Jews are zionists, and not all Israelis are zionists.
Stupid English doesn't differentiate between citizenship and ethnicity
