I don't think there should be a Jewish state, rather a world that accepts Jews.

I wrote a whole essay on this but zionism has been the worst thing for the global safety of Jews in diaspora. Ethiopia is a great example of this. Beta Israel wasn't facing persecution until the State of Israel occupied Palestine. Actions against Beta Israel by the Ethiopian government were in retaliation for Israel's occupation of Palestine. A ton of Jews, including Arab Jews, were living peacefully with Muslim Arabs in predominantly Muslin nations. They didn't really face antisemitism until the Nakba. Soviet antisemitism was also generally framed around trying to squash zionism.

Solidarity is how we stay safe, not nationalism. Zionism fucks that up. Nobody wants to be in solidarity with us when Jews are supporting Israel. Of they don't. Why would they.
