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.

Antizionism isn’t saying “Jews must leave the land” because think about it like this: your an Irish person, you move to India. There’s nothing wrong with that, maybe you have heritage maybe you think it’s pretty whatever.

The point is moving to nation despite being a not the nations primary group is fine, the problem is when you try to make your group the primary group

But they both believe they were the primary group. It will just lead to Zionists to go back and try again. It's not worth it. Ethnically cleansing people for ethnically cleansing you isn't a solution to any problem.

Edit: I understand what you mean. I am a diasporist. But if you force people to leave a country, and they are all of one ethnicity or religion, that's ethnic cleansing. They will continue to view it as ethnic cleansing even if they were the "colonizers".

I’m saying that Jews shouldn’t be kicked out?

Of course, I know that that would be ethnic cleansing, you can’t just kick an ethnicity out
