        You’d have a point if all the other examples you gesture to were also colonizing within the borders of other nations, the Kurds were explicitly screwed over by Sykes-Picot to purposefully set up the middle east for maximum civil unrest following the fall of the ottoman empire, likewise with Palestine, and Tibet is being invaded by Chinese colonists.

        All other examples you’ve listed don’t have a bunch of pasty white New Yorker saying “my ancestors lived here 3000 years ago” and kicking people out of their homes half a globe away.

        You’re really telling on yourself by putting all 4 of these situations in the category of ethnostate.

          Well how do you define the term “Ethnostate” and what do you think the Palestinian cause is in contrast to that?

            The Palestinian “cause”? Why don’t you start by sharing your idea of what that is?
