That’s one of your typical BS dodges, not a:
Now let’s dismantle your wall o’ text:
You just said you’d answer by discussing the benefits of diversity. You’re already flailing so hard to avoid answering the question that you’ve muddled up your own thinking. And you won’t get into it because you have nothing.
All that says is the racism and bigotry exists in people to one degree or another in certain situations and that it can be hard on minorities. It’s not an acknowledgement that everyone is as bigoted as you are and that therefore we need ethnostates.
First, affirmative action is a policy provided in response to a history of generations of deliberate discrimination against a minority. It is not a policy that African-Americans are happy to avail themselves of, and it’s not a policy that would make any sense to apply to an historically privileged group like white Americans.
Second, thanks for showing us (as @LDoBe notes) that your real concern here lies with saving the poor, downtrodden white people.
Side note: that’s the third time in that paragraph you made a broad and vague appeal to authority (the first being “there’s extensive literature and research on this subject” and the second being “There are plenty of academics who study all this.”). Just wanted to let you know you’re leaning very hard on a logical fallacy as you struggle to hide your true answer.
Speaking of which…
Back to the always-oppressed whites, who’ve done nothing to earn the animosity of racial minorities over the past centuries.
You’ll forgive us for doubting your superlatives there. You certainly don’t know the history of the country or its current political-economic state or diversity of thought.
My guess is you’re the kind of American Jew or evangelical Xtianist that my Israeli friends sometimes laugh about: a big-talking dilettante living far away who’d piss his pants at the prospect of having to serve in the IDF, work on a kibbutz for more than a week, or actually live under the extended threat they do.
If you are Jewish, by the way, you should be aware that gentile ethnostate proponents don’t consider you white and never will, no matter how pasty your skin (a lot of Sabras could be confused with Arabs on that basis). That’s one of the many reasons it’s incredibly foolish for a Jew to get in bed with ethnostate fans.
Again, Israel does allow Arabs to come into the country to work. It also already grants citizenship to law-abiding Palestinians in Israeli territory who want it. I guess not knowing this is an aspect of deep connection to the country.
In any case, very few Israelis support a one-state solution, but if one came to pass it’s more than likely that liberal-democracy would be eliminated lest the Palestinian majority be allowed to vote. At that point it the label of “apartheid state” would be more than the current hyperbole. Apparently you’d be fine with the end of liberal-democracy in Israel:
“Never mind democracy and all that”?! Sure, the religious fundies and ultra-nationalists are willing to throw it out the window in the name of their bigotry, but most Israelis take great pride in being the only country in the region that’s close to being a Western-style democracy. A lot of them take additional pride in the Jewish homeland being a secular place, their ideal being a nation-state that doesn’t discriminate against Jews – or anyone else.
That they fall short of living up to this second ideal is a separate matter, but the point is that Israel was not founded as a nation-state where license would be given to discriminate against anyone but Jews and where pogroms against non-Jews could be perpetrated “if necessary” (to use your own formulation).
Hint: saying “Israelis should be more like followers of Hamas and vice-versa” isn’t going to win over anyone who isn’t already a hateful and muddle-headed bigot like yourself.
All that your pile of mush demonstrated is that you not only can’t articulate your convictions but that you don’t have the courage of them.
