Edit: Blocked the author’s name, because it’s not my tumblr. I didn’t expect so many people to misinterpret it and respond in this way.

Edit 2: This is not from the same author, but it’s a reply to them. I think it might help clarify the post for those that are confused:

I normally don’t worry about usernames on tumblr, but since there’ve been some really out-of-pocket misconceptions in the thread, I don’t want anyone to harass them.

    No one has argued otherwise.

    You have. That was the thesis, OP stated. You called that thefis naive.

    That is the clear solution they’re implying

    No, they’re implying the opposite: “Don’t commit genocide and set up an ethostate”. The “don’t” applies to both.

      Lmao, no. OP’s thesis was that ‘the situation is simple, we just need to make everywhere safe for Jewish people’. That is naiive to the point of being an irrelevant non-sequitor.

      No, they’re implying the opposite: “Don’t commit genocide and set up an ethostate”. The “don’t” applies to both.

      No, they’re not, because they’re not talking about how simple it was in 1945-1947 to make the decision not do something, they’re describing the current situation as simple.

      Saying “well don’t get yourself into this situation”, is not useful, helpful, or remotely meaningful. Everyone is already aware of that. That goes hand in hand with it being a shitty situation.
