Neither is comparable to Israel since there's no home country for most Israelis to return to.


If a person's great-grandparent is the colonizer can you really say they have a "home country" beyond the one they were born in?


grant me safe passage to Algeria then… and return my family’s property while you’re at it.


Well.. Afrikaans people are as native to SA as Americans and Canadians are to their countries.

Netherlands loses control of it about the same time as US became independent and they developed mostly independently since then


I have no skin in the game, but I will do that for you, if you bring back the children from the death. Can you do that? Let's start from the Nakba. Maybe even from last year. No one is asking people to go back to Europe. All you have to do is Stop the Genocide, Repair. Reconcile. And stop the apartheid. But you know what, you have decided that Israel is untenable without war. Israel is of no use to the neo Imperialists, unless it keeps the region unstable.


Well majority of the white population in South Africa don’t have a home country to return to either. Afrikaans people moving to Australia, Britain or the US is not much different than forcing the Jewish people in Israel to go to those countries.

Besides that Apartheid South Africa is remarkably similar to Israel (of course the race part is entirely replaced by religion/culture making assimilation into the Israeli society actually somewhat feasible).
