It's an incredible situation, but all of Israel's prime ministers have come from this territory: the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Ruthenia, and Samogitia.

Netanyahu was born in Israel.

People here consider Jews to be Europeans. Except, Europeans didn't consider consider them as Europeans. It's why they tried eradicating them multiple times. Also, most of the news Israel came from neighboring MENA countries after being banished. Jews are not even allowed to set foot in Saudi Arabia.
Now when people say that Jews need to go back to were they came from, where exactly is that supposed to be?
MichealRyder@reddit
They shouldn’t have started Genociding their neighbors
Palestine welcomed them with open arms, but that wasn’t enough for the Zionists
DoreenTheeDogWalker@reddit
Where should they go?
MichealRyder@reddit
Frankly they could stay where they are if they just agree to a two-state solution, as the bare minimum.
Preferably, however, a restored Palestine would allow them to stay, but they’ll probably just leave because of entitlement.
In that case, they could go back to the ones they moved from, like America.
Or, hell, let them fight Australia or something lmao

Why don't the MENA countries invite the citizens they expelled back and offer them equal rights. Having the same rights and freedoms they currently have and will be treated the same as one of their Muslim citizens are treated. Where they are free to be Jewish or not, and not worry about repercussions from Muslim theocracy governments.
I can't think of any in the area currently though.

Funny enough, depending on how the war goes, Iran might end up destroying those same theocracies
DoreenTheeDogWalker@reddit
Iran is Shia Muslim theocracy.
kronstadt-sailor@reddit
theocracy?
you say that like it's a bad thing.
MichealRyder@reddit
They have Jewish citizens too
They can freely practice
Israel recently blew up a major synagogue, as a matter of fact
Loud-Vacation-5691@reddit
If by "freely practice," you mean being forced to remain open on the Jewish Sabbath and having Muslims appointed to run their schools.
DoreenTheeDogWalker@reddit
25% of Israel's population is Arab Muslim. They are free to worship.
Most jews left Iran in 1979 after the Islamic revolution that installed a shia theocracy. They left because they were being targeted for execution for being Jewish.

Boca Raton.
or Brooklyn, if you're old school.

Yes, the Hebron riots were definitely welcoming them with open arms, but carrying weapons.
ExtonGuy@reddit
Curious. Why the down votes? Do they think he was from somewhere else?
SystemError505@reddit
So much for them being Semites.
Loud-Vacation-5691@reddit
By your logic, MLK and Rosa Parks were white because they were born in the US, not Africa.
Most Israeli prime ministers were born in the Mandate or Israel.
Matt9681@reddit
Wouldn't the more apt comparison be white people in America pretending to be indigenous while being born there despite being ethnically from somewhere else?
Cuz that's what being born in Israel and being Polish or Lithuanian ancestry, yet claiming birthright to that land, seems like.
ZhukovWonWWII@reddit
Did you just confuse nationality with ethnicity or something?
pobnarl@reddit
that area is full of troublemakers
Killadelphian@reddit
Bibi is from Pennsylvania
Least-Letter4716@reddit
Don't lay that on Pennsylvania. Netanyahu was born in Tel Aviv and spent time in Pennsylvania because his family moved there. But he definitely seems to be a product of the US conservative Zionists who supported his political career in Israel.
Loud-Vacation-5691@reddit
He was born in Haifa but attended school in Pennsylvania. From your user name, I take it you're from Philadelphia. Are you Lenape or were your ancestors from somewhere else?
ub3rm3nsch@reddit
Well that definitely tracks with the other person's comment about finding the gates of hell.
Loud-Vacation-5691@reddit
Incorrect. Shimon Peres and Ben-Gurion were born in Poland; Sharett, Eshkol, Begin, and Meir were born in the Russian Empire (Ukraine and Belarus), but every other prime minister (Allon, Bennett, Lapid, Netanyahu, Olmert, Barak, Sharon, and Rabin) were either born in Mandatory Palestine or Israel.
Successful_Bar9187@reddit
So Satan’s minions come from here
kugelamarant@reddit
Can we like send them back?
osama_squared@reddit
can we map out the GPS coordinates of their birthplaces because we might just find the gates of HELL.
