@sammalama tell me how close I am.
You complained that the specifics of Israeli immigration law use religion as a relevant factor. In this complaint, you made reference to people who convert to Judaism and then move to Israel. You used an example country of origin of America or possibly somewhere in Europe. You made no reference whatsoever to any other immigration to Israel other than the immigration of Jews. You did not address that everyone, from any place, can make exactly the same conversion and immigration (and yes, that includes Palestinians). You made no mention whatsoever of any similar laws relating to religion in any other country including in countries that border Israel such as Lebanon. You did not mention travel restrictions related to religion such as those in Saudi Arabia.
Regarding borders, you said elsewhere that you reject all of Israel as a legal state. That means that you probably assert that Palestinian rejection of UN resolution 1701 is binding on the Israelis who did accept it and that therefore the resolution is null and void. You seem like an anti-western so I expect you similarly reject British claims after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. You like to think of yourself as promoting the rights of indigenous people and you somehow imagine that the ottomans were more indigenous than the British because they happen to have darker skin and practice a different religion. Your Orientalism, funnily enough, is itself a product of European 20th century culture. You made some reference to “75 years” of occupation/oppression/etc but did not reference the fact that Gaza was controlled by Egypt before 1967, that the West Bank was controlled by Jordan during that same period, or that Israel left Gaza in 2005. You would argue, if you didn’t already, that Israel never *really stopped occupying Gaza because it imposed a blockade but you would never accept that Egypt also maintained that blockade without making some sort of claim that they only do it to appease the west.
In your mind, the Israelis are the only people in the Middle East who have free will and bear the responsibility for their actions. Palestinians and Arabs generally are mere robots who have no choice to respond to Israeli aggression by rape, torture and war crimes. Muslims, in your view, are incapable of the kind of response that Hindus in India exhibited towards the British. They cannot possibly do what the Buddhists in Tibet did with respect to the Chinese government. You treat Muslims and Arabs as fundamentally violent people.
So, was that about right?
