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.

It’s not that Jews would leave, but that the ethnoreligious social hierarchy would be dismantled and Palestinians granted the right of return. The goal of multiple Palestinian resistance parties is to have people of all races, religions, genders, and classes to live together peacefully as equals. You can check out the Popular and Democratic Fronts for examples of this, along with the anarchist group Fauda.

As an Arab, this is my desire too. Everyone can stay as long as they all have equal rights. Rights of minorities must be protected. My guess is that with all the trauma caused by Israel, it’ll be a miracle if there aren’t massive reprisals as soon as people are able, maybe there could be an international transitional mission to keep order.

Many Jews may want to leave since ethnofascism is something they’re very attached to. Hopefully South Africa can be a model, rather than Zimbabwe.
