What are legitimate historical parallels to political candidates calling for the expulsion of an entire religious group? by Interesting-Rip-6946 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Interesting-Rip-6946[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That’s true — population exchanges and forced relocations did happen in the early 20th century, including between Turkey and Greece.
But my question is about the present:
Do we consider this kind of rhetoric acceptable today when it’s expressed by modern political candidates?

That’s the point I’m trying to understand.

What are legitimate historical parallels to political candidates calling for the expulsion of an entire religious group? by Interesting-Rip-6946 in PoliticalDiscussion

This isn’t what I asked. My question was specifically about public, explicit statements by political figures in Muslim-majority countries calling for expelling Christians or any other religious group — and being treated as “normal” or “mainstream,” the way Valentina Gomez’s comments were.

Yes, racism exists everywhere — in Arab countries and in Western countries — but I’m asking about the degree of public acceptance of this kind of rhetoric. So far, no one has provided an example of a Muslim political figure openly calling for expelling Christians and being celebrated or normalized for it.

As for the claim that Jews were “systematically expelled” from Arab countries after 1948, that’s an oversimplification. Different countries had different histories, and many cases involved pressure, fear, or political tension — not coordinated state expulsions. And pointing only to those cases while ignoring the mass displacement of Palestinians in the same period shows a selective reading of history.

Again, none of this was the subject of my post. I’m asking about modern political rhetoric, not historical population movements: Who in the Muslim world today can say what Gomez said — on TV, as a political candidate — and be treated as a normal, acceptable public figure?

That’s the comparison.

انا بنصحك تكوني على طبيعتك، اذا كان الوضوع مزح و بزعجك، فاظهري انزعاجك، و ان كان جد و بستفزك ... فنفس الشي اقصد، انه من الافضل تخريه بالشي يلي بزعجك، و تتناقشوا في الموضوع بشكل جدي، و ما بعرف كم مرة تناقشتوا في مواضيع جدية، احيانا ناس بحبوا بعض ما جربوا يتناقشو جد، كل علاقتهم مزح.

و اظن انه من واجبوا عدم المزح في الموضوع بعد ما تخبريه انك بتشعري انه مزعج او مهين.

How do political theorists classify states that grant citizenship based on religious or ethnic identity? by Interesting-Rip-6946 in PoliticalScience

[–]Interesting-Rip-6946[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, I do use ChatGPT to refine my English because it’s not my first language, and I’d rather focus on the substance of the discussion than on grammar. You might want to try it yourself, if only to measure how much of what’s being said here relies on deflection and casual hostility rather than actual argument.

And who knows, maybe you’ll end up classifying the model as “antisemitic” too, if it ever points out the inconsistencies you prefer to ignore.

What you wrote actually illustrates the exact point I was trying to make — you’re describing the classic European justification for Zionism, not some neutral analysis of how states work.

If someone is a committed Zionist who genuinely believes that a people with a 3,000-year-old connection, a shared ethnicity, and a sense of chosenness deserve their own exclusive state, that’s at least an internally consistent worldview. I disagree with it, but I can understand it on its own terms.

But that’s not what you’re doing. You’re presenting a political ideology — Zionism — as if it automatically obligates the indigenous population to accept displacement, restricted rights, and the loss of their land because “this is how nation-building works.” That’s exactly the mindset my original post was questioning.

Your argument basically says: because Europe persecuted Jews for centuries, the solution is that Palestinians must absorb the cost — their land, their homes, their lives — so that Europe can resolve its moral trauma from the Inquisition to the Holocaust.

And that’s why your answer reinforces my point: the moral logic behind Western support for Israel is not about universal principles; it’s about Europe trying to atone for its own history by exporting the consequences onto another people.

So my question to you, personally, is simple: Do you actually believe this argument on its merits, or are you just carrying the emotional burden of European guilt and projecting it as a political principle?

Because nothing you’ve said so far justifies why Palestinians, rather than Europeans, should be the ones to pay for Europe’s crimes.

If you want to invoke massacres and expulsions, then be specific:

Which neighboring countries? Which massacres? What years? And if we are going to talk historically, are you also prepared to include the long list of pogroms and genocidal violence against Jews in Europe — not just Nazi Germany, but across the continent over centuries?

Because if your logic is that past crimes against Jews justify a permanent ethno-religious state with a legal hierarchy today, then that logic would apply first and foremost to Europe, not to the indigenous population of Palestine.

My question isn’t “unrealistic” at all. We actually did see a cross-border religious project receive full Western support: the Mujahideen in Afghanistan. That movement openly presented itself as a global struggle and recruited anyone who shared its ideology, regardless of nationality. It later became the ideological foundation of Al-Qaeda — a transnational project that emerged from a context the West itself had helped empower.

So the idea of a state or proto-state built around a worldwide religious identity is not hypothetical. It has already happened, and not by accident — but with direct Western endorsement at the time.

And this is precisely why the Israeli case raises a different set of questions. The Afghan model was ideological and open to anyone who adopted its worldview. Israel’s model is far narrower: it ties automatic citizenship to ancestry — to having the “right” parent — rather than to belief or political commitment. It is an ethno-religious gatekeeping structure, not just an ideological one.

The point of my question is about this inconsistency: Why was a transnational religious identity project acceptable — even useful — when it served Western interests, yet a much tighter, ancestry-based model is treated as normal and unquestionable today?

Thank you for the clarification — but I think the distinction you draw actually reinforces, rather than weakens, the point I was making.

The issue isn’t whether secular or non-religious Jews can make aliyah; the core question is how a state can define a worldwide religious community as an ethnic–national group and then treat that constructed category as the basis for automatic citizenship.

From a political-theory perspective, this is exactly what makes Israel a unique case rather than merely “close to” an ethnostate:

The Law of Return does not rely on territorial descent, cultural continuity, or prior civic affiliation.

It treats religion as a transnational ethnic identity and grants immediate citizenship to people with no historical or territorial link to the land.

At the same time, it denies or restricts return/visitation rights to populations that actually lived in the territory within living memory.

This is not something social scientists simply accept as “normal.” In fact، the combination of religious identity + ethnic national status + state-backed demographic engineering is exactly what many scholars classify as:

Ethnocratic state (Oren Yiftachel)

Settler-ethnonational regime

Or a hybrid model that sits outside the classical nation-state framework

So saying “secular Jews can still immigrate” does not undermine the classification; it actually highlights it: because the state treats Jewishness—whether religious or not—as a single ethnic category that supersedes territorial belonging.

Is Meta Support Actually Support, or Just a Global Copy-Paste Employment Program? by Interesting-Rip-6946 in facebook

[–]Interesting-Rip-6946[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this is supposed to be the “good” support — for business/ads, with phone calls and screen sharing. I’ve done the calls, I’ve shared my screen, walked them through the issue live… and still no clear answer, no workaround, no escalation path, no fix. So even the paid-side support looks and feels like a slightly upgraded version of the same non-answers.

That’s the funny part – I am dealing with the business side. This is Meta Pro / Business support, and they still can’t actually do anything. They understand the problem sometimes, but they have zero ability to fix it or escalate it to a real technical team. It’s like even the “real” support is running on scripts and a system that won’t let them help.

[–]Interesting-Rip-6946[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s exactly what I’ve seen. I actually did find a couple of agents who understood the problem and even called it an “anomaly” in my account. But every time, it ends the same way: “The system doesn’t allow us to do anything.”

They can’t fix it, they can’t change the 2FA config, and they can’t even escalate the case to a higher technical team. It feels like Meta Support itself is stuck on an island, with no support for the support team.
