The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I’m not referring to the Jewish settlers as colonists. I’m referring to the British and the UN, which in 1945-47 was an institution founded and dominated largely by colonial powers.

That was the world order at the time. You can't roll it back. You're condemning everything they did because they were colonialists at the time. I'm not here to excuse the crimes being committed by the Israeli government. They are awful, as are the crimes committed against Israelis. If you want to cancel all ethnonationalist states, good luck with that. But that's not what you're actually doing. You're advocating the cancellation of one such state in favor of another, because of some claimed historic sin.
