It’s a fringe group. The author is also American and not a persecuted European Jew.

Most countries at the time didn’t want Jewish immigration or restricted it heavily. The USA sent ships full of Jewish refugees back to Europe during the Holocaust.

20% of Israeli citizens are not Jewish, most of them Palestinian Arabs (self identification and labels vary). They have equal rights, vote, have respected professions like judge or doctor and are doing well economically. Sure, there’s also some discrimination, however overall Israeli Arabs are the most free and among the most prosperous people in the region.

Israel is okay with an Arab minority. They can’t annex the West Bank and Gaza and give everyone citizenship without losing the majority. Having a country that’s majority Jewish is the whole point of Israel.

Because of antisemitism. The USA had strict quotas for Jewish immigration. There were ships full of Jewish refugees, that were refused entry and had to turn around. Many of those on the shops died later in the Holocaust.

The British also had put restrictions on Jewish immigration to the mandate of Palestine during the 1940s. Ships filled with Jewish refugees were forced to Cyprus where they were kept prisoner in camps.

During Israel’s war of independence in 1948, the USA had an arms embargo against it.

Yes, Palestinians are very close to Israeli Jews genetically.

Many Jews in Palestine converted to Christianity and later to Islam. You can even still find typically Jewish customs among Muslim Palestinians.

Many of the Palestinian Arabs immigrated at the same as the Jews.

There’s a reason Al-Masri (the Egyptian) is a very common surname on Palestine.

Zionism was proven correct by history.

Assimilation failed all over Europe pretty badly. Jews were expelled from Muslim countries after Israel was established.

Zionists were a minority among Jews pretty much until the non Zionists were killed in the Holocaust.

Many Jews were also into communism because of your idea of equality for all. That didn’t work out either. The Soviet Union persecuted and oppressed Jews. They even created a Jewish Oblast as a homeland in the middle of nowhere in Siberia. In the end they didn’t follow through with deporting all Jews there.

Everything you propose was tried repeatedly. It lead to further oppression and death for Jews.

Zionism was correct in its pessimistic analysis of the situation.

The idea of settling Jews in the land of their murderers is preposterous. How could Jews feel safe living right next to their killers?

It would also completely validate the antisemitic thoughts of Hitler, that he had fought the war against the Jews. Jews literally getting German territory after the war proves this.

The Zionists accepted the Peel Partition Plan of 1937 and the UN partition plan of 1947. The Palestinian Arabs refused it.

The Zionists declared a Jewish state in 1948. The Palestinian Arabs did not declare a state of their own.

The West Bank was occupied and then annexed by the Kingdom of Jordan and it gave citizenship to all Palestinians living there. Gaza was occupied by Egypt, but not annexed.

Israel offered a state to the Palestinians several times in Camp David, Olmert 2008, Taba, etc. The Palestinian leadership refused those offers without a specific counter offer.

The Palestinians had several opportunities to get a state, but chose otherwise.

Not exactly. OCD can also lead to disgust or discomfort besides anxiety, if things aren’t like they “should” be. OCD doesn’t mean there’s an actual real danger involved.

Double checking your keys or stove can also just be a compensation because you have actual experience of forgetting to take care of things.

While anxiety as an emotion can come up in different contexts doesn’t mean it’s the same. Symptoms and behavior can overlap even if the underlying condition or disorder is different.

Lots of mental illnesses and disorders will lead to additional other psychological issues if not treated.

Cubans deserve democracy.

Everything right wing I like is neither left nor right.

Across Europe it’s the left wing parties that are opposed to increased military spending. Many even want to leave NATO.

Leftists cry when aid money is no longer spent on queer theater plays in Bolivia.

housing myth

Look up scientific studies on rent control. The effects are extremely limited and create bad incentives. Rent control is classic populism that ignores market forces.

Rent control always creates a whole market of illegal subletting. Renters with a cheap apartment will hold onto it and illegally sublet it at an inflated price. So you create a whole new group of mini landlords without affecting rent. There’s also bribes paid to get a rent controlled apartment and similar shenanigans. Those lucky enough to qualify will hold on to their apartment, even if it’s too big for them. Classic examples are elderly after their children have moved out and their spouse has died. That makes the market inefficient and doesn’t allocate according to need. You end up with young families squeezing into tiny places while one old person has excessive space.

Housing built by the state can help. It increases supply after all. However the state has to pay the same costs for construction and upkeep as private investment. That means state run housing has to set rents at a level that covers the construction costs, mortgage interest, upkeep, administration, etc.

I support building housing by state owned companies and privileges for housing unions and coops.

High construction costs are often caused by complex regulations or bad zoning. Construction costs in Germany have skyrocketed over the past 30 years, mainly because of escalating regulations. That results in houses being over-engineered and having to provide lots of certifications and such.

meritocracy

Demanding quotas for supposedly oppressed groups is a leftwing past time. If you go all the way left, there are lots of people who demand the same salary independently of profession or productivity.

Equality of outcome is a common leftist demand.

Not if you’re doing it while traveling.

That depends a lot on the country.

Increasing military capabilities is a good idea for ensuring peace in Europe.

Removing regulations that make building new housing expensive will lead to more construction, more supply, and lower rents. Price controls on rent have very limited effects and hinder new construction.

Trade and foreign investments is more effective in developing poor countries than foreign aid as charity spent on feel good programs.

Entrepreneurship rewards skilled creative and hard work. It’s a path towards freedom and success, that’s possible for more people.

Meritocracy is desirable.

I know it’s hard to imagine to hardened ideologues like yourself, but some people think right and left have good solutions and blind spots for certain problems. They engage with topics and discourse, investigate the scientific evidence, are capable of nuance and compromise, are able to calm their emotions, etc.
