The poll says 66 percent of Jewish voters in the US believe that Aipac’s campaign spending against candidates who criticise Israel actually increases antisemitism in the country.

In addition, 60 percent believe that Jewish organisations that label harsh criticism of Israel as antisemitic are exploiting concerns about antisemitism to defend unpopular Israeli government policies.

Notably, 80 percent of Jewish voters believe that Israel’s actions in the occupied West Bank and Gaza are increasing antisemitism in the US.

I'm curious how far you think that extends? At least some percentage of the Israeli Jews, Israeli Palestinians, and Israeli Christians currently benefitting from colonization trace their ancestry to Isreal prior to the creation of the state, are they to be "decolonized" from the only land their family has ever known? What about people who are 2-3 generations in, they are to rely on the kindness of Palestinians when they take over? If Palestinians take over, are they now the new religious ethnostate?

There is no question that Israel is a amoral colonialist religious ethnostate. But if the solution involves removing people from the region you'll end up in a very familiar scenario i would call genocide the minute it gets violent. I think whether it sounds fair or not there has to be some restorative justice for Palestinians rather than purely punitive action to Israeli citizens. If decolonization in your mind involves removing Jews from Israel entirely I think you've lost me. Focus on rebuilding communities and seizing land more recently taken by violence this generation, or within what is now occupied Palestinian land.
