    Because banning Germans from the US in 1939 would exclude Jewish refugees from Germany from the US too

    Excluding Israelis also excludes people who are ethnically Arab from Israel

    We didn't discriminate against German Jews, why should we discriminate against Israeli Arabs?

    Americans didn't discriminate against all Germans during WW2, why should they discriminate against all Israelis when the US is not even at war with Israel?

    Americans because Italy was an ally of Hitler's Germany so you can't make the same comparison

    Are you bating us to compare Israels almost two year long demolition of Palestine, to the attack that Hamas did back in 2023? or trying to justify that it is a suitable reaction to it? I guess you want us to discuss details and enter an endless fractal of back and forths. That point has long expired

    Hate to break it to you, but the entire state of Israel is actually on Palestinian land. The land was literally called Palestine by Britain before they gave it to Israel in 1948 or so…

    For reference, Trump was born in 1946

    One could argue that in the time before Christ there were Jewish people in the area, but if we’re doing that, pretty much every nation state is illegitimate.

    Many countries are already boycotting lots of American stuff. Nothing racial about it.

    I could easily see a business saying no Israeli citizens allowed but still welcome American Jews with Israeli heritage. Still not antisemitic.
