3/Oren is saying - assuming, as if it were obvious - that if you're Jewish, Israel is your nation-state. That's total bullshit.

6/In a war situation, I'd have those guys' back, and I'd expect them to have my back. Not Israelis.

7/I'm offended by the assumption that I'm part of some foreign nation-state just because its people have noses similar to mine, or whatever.

8/I realize that not everyone is as nationalistic as I am, but that's how I personally feel, and guys like Oren should respect that. (end)

@Noahpinion I understand logic of your approach but I'd say better to reject all nationalisms than to pick & choose one.3 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -
