If there were a place and a way to do Zionism without the brutal ethnic cleansing and/or oppression of a native population, we would be in favor.
But the place and the way that it's been done have been:
a) morally repugnant; and
b) more dangerous to Jews than not having a "Jewish state" at all.

77 years of "Israel" has taught us that nothing is more dangerous than a group of people who can scream "antisemitism" and "blood libel" at anyone who condemns their atrocities. What's to stop such a group from committing the most horrific acts imaginable to man?

Small resistance armies like the Palestinians' aren't in a position to kill/rape/abuse a few dozen of their opponents on a daily basis, the way that Israeli forces have been doing over there past several decades? How primitive.

Yes, Arabs and Africans are regularly slaughtered in larger numbers in the decades since the Holocaust, but Jews have been privileged during this time, and therefore you should be more shocked when they're the ones who get killed.

Palestinians still can't believe how laughably little has been made of their expulsion from their homes (and from their homeland) over the past decades. Meanwhile, this is how our media covers stories of Jews losing apartments that they'd been RENTING in Europe:

And yet 90% of the discourse is obsessing over the previous regime's crimes?

When an abused person finally resorts to violent resistance, the abuser secretly thinks, "well, they might have a point, but if I admitted to this now, I'd be rewarding violence! Instead, it must be punished, and then we'll see."
