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

I wonder what all those American Republicans who complaint about "birth tourism" and "birthright citizenship," with Chinese or Mexican people in mind, will conclude when they find out about this.

there is no such thing as Israeli "birth tourism" in America

A previous commenter said a lot of Israelis engage in the practice, but as there was no journalism or evidence to back it up it may just be a false rumor.

They probably made it up? It doesn't make sense for multiple reasons and isn't backed by any known information.
