Has there ever been another group of people that have lost so many existential wars in a row but still demand they keep their land?
the First Nations of North America
Do they keep bombing Washington?

Deuteronomy 9:4 > After the Lord your God has driven them out before you, do not say to yourself, “The Lord has brought me here to take possession of this land because of my righteousness.” No, it is on account of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord is going to drive them out before you. I think there is a common belief that Israel was "given" the land beyond the Jordan because they were God's chosen people…
Keep in mind this was written by man. People are being murdered thousands of years later because of the ancient Judea equivalent of 'Harry Potter', and the batshit insane people who still believe it in earnest.

Not much different than 19th century America slavery and Trail of Tears or 16th century Spanish conquistadors. It's ethno-nationalist supremacy by a powerful group believing they are superior to others who are seen as "animals".
> It's ethno-nationalist supremacy by a powerful group believing they are superior to others who are seen as "animals". And this largely encapsulates the original definition of racism/racialism; it was far more extreme than hating some other race (which has become the modern dictionary definition). Hating Mexicans who (you incorrectly believe) are taking jobs that Americans would have filled is a very different menta…
> ...is a very different mental state to believing that a group of humans is no better than animals
Is it really? At the very least, the borders between those mental states seem quite blurry.
As soon as one group targets another for hatred, they're essentially saying that the target group is lesser in some way. It's like the first step off the cliff edge - you might still be near the top of the cliff, but now it's just a matter of time.
That point has been proved by the current US president, who has literally said things like, "they're not humans, they're animals," about migrants - that's just one example of a direct quote.

Don't put words in my mouth. Unacceptable strawman.

#217Can someone living in Israel help me understand what is going on right now? What does the political climate look like in Israel? Do majority of people support what is happening, if so why? if not, how is the government executing this? Further, has this had any impact on the overall relationship between Jewish people worldwide and those residing in Israel? if so, how? I know that the media is all over the place and it…

Zionism didn't become nazism by fighting against it, there is a deep history of zionism collaborating with the Nazi regime. Both shared an ethno-nationalist worldview from the start and the objective of moving the Jewish people out of Germany.
This is true. The original European Jews who founded Israel were even opposed to the German Nazis transferring thousands of Jewish children to other countries to save their lives. These Zionist Jews thought it would be better for their state building project if these children were all murdered than if the children were sent anywhere except to Palestine. But, some of the collaboration wasn't really the Zionist Jews' e…
Good old German industrial lobbying with opponent with their fingers in a vise. I'm wondering in case of a conflict who will be better off, me with stock portfolio at "broker GmbH" or others with real estate within the range of Russian rockets and drones.

we're precedenting it in the united states. our government is deeply ideologically aligned with the people committing the vast majority of domestic terrorism in this country.
The vast majority of the government are full-time employees without any express political allegiance aside from whatever they happen to personally believe. I doubt they are "deeply ideologically aligned with...domestic terrorism" and most of them would probably physically assault you for suggesting they agreed with domestic terrorists in person.
