I don’t think a genocide helps with antisemitism at all. In fact, by engaging in such horrific acts, the Israeli government makes an effective argument against the existence of any ethnostate.
I am not sure the continued existence of Israel as a local military power serves the interests of the Jewish diaspora.
> A central cause is antisemitism; if we could somehow find a solution to that
I say that with a heavy heart, and I don’t offer solutions at this point in history. The current status quo is unsustainable in the long term.
