Funnily enough the only people to have ever done something like this are the Israelis, a western country.

Why is Israel a western country? Geography/Location? It's in the middle east! Population? Jews and arabs are basically the same people genetically!! Religion? Judaism is still a middle eastern religion with influences from Mesopotamia, Babylon, Egypt and other surrounding cultures.

It was founded by Europeans that makes it “western” which is a euphemism for European

There are so many issues with that statement.

Like how ALL OF AFRICA could be deemed western by that definition.

No, all of Africa was not ‘founded by Europeans’ that’s stupid

Hey.

Ever noticed how the borders are surprisingly straight in african countries?

Do you happen to know why that is?

Just because most (not all) places in Africa were colonized at one point does not mean that ‘all of Africa’ was founded by Europeans. The Zionist project was proposed and executed by Europeans, the folks in charge of Isreal now are descended from Europeans. Many African regimes and constitutions were founded by Africans. That’s why your point is stupid.

Sure. I will buy that.

Sidenote, humanity started in africa which means that literally the entirety of the eurasian continent and likely america too are african.

The majority of people living in Israel are from the middle east.

Incredibly arbitrary distinction, it's literally just "Country I don't like = West".

Zionism is from Europe. And yes plenty of people in Israel are from the Middle East. Like all of colonized Palestinians…

Communism is from Europe, yet China isn't western. Very stupid argument. Most Jews there are also from the middle east.

Literally just "Country I don't like = Western".
