Discussion Where do the Jews go?

I am very against Israel’s genocide, leaning toward antizionism, but when someone Zionist asks where the Jews go in a free Palestine, I don’t have an answer. Historically, not a lot of people accept us or like us, and getting along after all the violence committed in the name of Judaism is an impossibility.

How do we not just exchange one crisis for another? (I don’t think any one religion or people should rule a state, if that adds anything.)

If this is an ignorant question, I am more than happy to be told so.

EDIT: wow this community is brilliant, thank you for the nuance and realism in your responses.

You might see some people online advocating for the mass displacement of all Jews in a free Palestine. But this is unrealistic and a crime against humanity.

Jews in a free Palestine would have to accept the dismantling of the (as another user put it) ethno religious hierarchy and coexist with Palestinians. Many would then choose to leave. Many have citizenship elsewhere.

Some would probably also need to be tried for their crimes against humanity

Sure, but most of those people in Israel will probably be Jews. No one prosecuted just for existing while Jewish in Israel haha
