while I don't think just because the MENA countries don't want to take palestinian refugees it means they dont give a fuck about them, I do find it hilarious the refugees rights all fall on the shoulders of the western world.
We literally give them path to citizenships, irrc none of the countries surrounding palestine gives palestinian refugees that

Forgot to mention that for the US, they still deport a ton of migrants. The Democrats party are so open about mass immigration yet the deport more than Republicans. Obama deported 420K, Trump 270k, and Biden 800k(so far). Goes to show ya how this is nothing but a tool for more money and power. They keep turning immigration into a moral/social justice issue, when it has, like many other things, always been an economic one.
It is mutually exclusive to the interests of the nearby politically burdened Arab states to assist Israel in its ethnic cleansing endeavours.
I said they need to lead the way to ultimately the entire world doing that. Last big actions I saw was Malaysia refusing Israeli shipping and the Houthis blocking the Red Sea. Otherwise, not much has happened recently since October 7th that I know of.

I’m not ever going to move to Israel. I think the country is pretty .
I don’t want to raise my kids in a land perpetually at war.
Not to mention that while I would be eligible for Israeli citizenship after completing a reform conversion, because the country is a theocracy run by the orthodoxy, I would never be able to get married in Israel.
Israel only has religious marriage and because they only use the orthodox definition of Jewishness, I couldn’t get a Jewish marriage because reform conversion isn’t valid by orthodox standards.
An Israeli told me that a lot of Israelis go to Cyprus to get married because Israel does recognize all marriages done abroad. But if you want to get a gay marriage or an interfaith marriage you can’t do that in Israel.
I would like to visit one day, if only to see the religious sites and everything, but I’m really not invested in the country

So there are different sects of Judaism and each have different standards for who is a Jew.
having a Jewish mom is the universal standard. If you have a Jewish mom, every denomination of Judaism considers you Jewish.
But if you are a convert, the sects have different standards.
Orthodox Judaism has a more strict interpretation of Jewish law than conservative Judaism or Reform Judaism. Hence while conservative and reform Jews consider orthodox converts to be Jews, conservative and reform converts aren’t considered Jewish by orthodox standards.
I’m doing a reform conversion.
While Israeli law considers converts of all 3 sects to be Jewish for citizenship purposes, for stuff like marriage, cemeteries, etc. it goes by orthodox rule.
So two reform Jews can’t marry in Israel unless they are Jewish by orthodox standards.

It isn’t and I don’t believe that
I genuinely don’t care about the state of Israel. It’s important to a lot of Jews, but I have zero connection to that country.
I think the Jews living in that area do have a right to political autonomy, but the nakba and all the crimes that followed are wrong.
Reform Judaism is fun. It doesn’t ask much from me. I like the prayer, music, holidays, and community.
Growing up some of my closest friends from high school were Jews. I think that’s what got me into it.
