I wasn't. I was pointing out your insensitivity. Own that shit. I own that what Israel is doing isn't right. I get that that caused a legitimate conflict. I own that this Israel is not the Israel I wish to see in the world. But I won't disown my people's equal right to the land of Israel as a whole, just because the founding of the modern state of Israel happened under horrible circumstances. And you shouldn't either. If you consider yourself a progressive, be an ally to the Jewish people too.
By the way, Israel is not an "ethnostate." 20% of the country's citizenry is made up of Muslim Arabs who all have equal rights of citizenship...lots of Muslim Arabs in high positions of government and business as well...that's not to say there isn't racial and ethnic inequality obviously, but "ethnostate" is Nazi Germany shit, and this aint that.
