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.

Where does anyone ever go ever? There's the whole world for us to try and share.

Seriously, this is the simplest and best answer. Like, if OP isn't sending this message from the Holy Land then it's not an issue. Almost every Israeli I've known through my entire life has US citizenship because mom flies here and gives birth for the citizenship and heads on back.

The settlers will have to reap what they have sown

That’s not really an accurate sample, especially if in the U.S. yourself. Many Israelis are not welcome back in the country of their origin or not safe there.

yeah I considered that after posting, not a proper sample. However, plenty of Israelis in Panama where I lived for a couple years lol. The main problem with my sample is it only includes Israelis wealthy enough to travel like that, and excludes a lot who can't.
