They were, but when evaluated against their original claim its pretty apparent they were doing it to establish a whataboutism.

TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.todayto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Could global warming make Antarctica habitable?13·4 days agoIn short, no. Not at least outside of a vast geological timeframe. Antarctica was once habitable around 100 million years ago, and that was only because it was part of a supercontinent located much further north than its current location.
Even if the earth warmed enough to melt the ice at the poles, its location would basically make it impossible to maintain a complex ecology suitable to life. The light cycle of roughly 24 hours of light in the summer and 24 hours of darkness in the winter would preclude the needed agriculture requirements needed to sustain any meaningful population.
It’s because he’s attempting to utilize the fact that America was and potentially still is an ethno-state to lessen the culpability of the Israeli ethno-state.
While modern America uses systemic racism to establish an ethnic hierarchy, unlike Israel it doesn’t expressly by law prohibit the movement or upward mobility of different ethnicities. Even if it did, that fact would not lessen the culpability of another state doing the same.
Context and nuance is important.
For the vast majority of its history absolutely. It wasn’t until the civil rights movement where that was even somewhat debatable.
considering Israel is more ethnically diverse
Apartheid South Africa was ethnically diverse… Still an ethno-state.
Ethno-states aren’t defined as lacking diversity, they are defined by an ethnic creating and maintaining a dominant hierarchy of that diversity.
Gosh why do people hate the Jews so much. 🫤
The problem with ethno-states is that it makes it super easy for people like yourself to conflate ethnicity with nationality.
People don’t hate the Jews, people hate ethno-states who are currently committing a genocide. Many of these people who hate the state of Israel for their genocide are Jews themselves.
This can’t be true… Businesses wouldn’t reshape their entire portfolios, spending billions of dollars on a technology with limited to no utility. Ridiculous.
Anyways, I got these tulip bulbs to sell, real cheap, just like give me your house or something.
