I'm pretty sure I can "read better" than you. God that's terrible writing.

Anyway, I guess you have no knowledge of Israeli history?

Literally any person who is Jewish has an automatic right to enter Israel and to have full citizenship.

Whereas Muslim people who literally lived in homes in what is modern-day Israel, have no right to return to their homes. I'm not even using "homes" metaphorically, I mean there are THOUSANDS of elderly Palestianians who are still alive and have no right to even visit the homes they grew up in.

Dude, ultra-orthodox Jews don't even need to serve in the military, while they illegally expand settlements into Palestinian land where (mostly secular) Israeli kids die to defend their illegally acquired territory. And extra fun, ultra-orthodox Jews who do this are as extreme as the fucking Taliban (we're talking throwing acid into the faces of women who dress immodestly on public transit, forcing women to wear wigs, women prohibited from touching men even in a commercial transaction in a store, etc).

Shaking my head here. The idea of Jews "returning to their land" is fundamentally absurd in this context.

Dude does an Ashkenazi Jewish person LOOK like they've had any connection to that land in the last 2000 years? If so, I guess they developed amazing sunscreen 2000 years ago.

I'll give credit where it's due, I'm at least glad that Sephardic Jews make up 55% of Israel's Jewish population vs 45% Ashkenazi.

Not only am I aware of the rights discrepancy described in your third through fifth paragraphs, I described it as racism in my very first comment to you.
