A place in the world, where jews can live without fear for their lives, just because they're jews.
Would equal political, civil and human rights for all the people living under Israeli law negate this right?
Nope! I would wish for that.
Also, does Palestine have a right to exist?
Absolutely!
Like as a fully independent nation with full sovereignty?
Whilst granting equal political, civil and human rights for all the people living under Palestinian law … including any jews? Yes!
And with an equal right to a military and an equal right to militarily intervene in neighbouring countries' affairs as Israel? (Equal meaning as much or as little.)
If they, in a believable way guarantee beforehand, that they don't wish to eliminate another group or state, just cause it exists? And believably ban warcrimes (as I would expect from Israel as well)? Yes.
Finally, are the terrorist Zionist militias that formed the seed of the IDF (Irgun, Lehi, Haganah,...) as condemnable as Hamas, the PFLP, etc?
Where warcrimes has happened (which should be checked after the war from a disinterested 3rd party, they should be judged fairly in any case, yes.
Basically, is it the case that what's good for the goose is good for the gander?
I do not understand this phrase, sorry (non-native speaker).
I want to make sure I'm not talking to a Jewish-supremacist racist here. Am I?
Four Answers:
As I said … I stand for the right of the state of Israel to exist and remain (not to illegally grow through illegal settlements - illegal by Israeli laws as well by the way) and for their right to defend theirselves (and there are Israeli as far as I understand, who damn this ongoing war as well).
I want to make sure, that I'm not talking to a live-streamed murders and rapes and decapitations etc. celebrated having Hamas-terrorist here. Am I? (I can ask rather provoking questions too … only that my might have a higher chance to be deleted here.)
I want to see the POTUS Donald Trump in prison and want his money be given to all those he harmed with his actions and speeches! I want to se him in disgrace and the American justice system doing its work again(st him).
I'm from Germany and no MAGA and that may make a difference here (due to our experiences with antisemitism during Nazism era and WWII. I do disagree with the political actions of Netanyahu and his rightwing allies. But I also see the Hamas as a terrorist organisation and don't deny Israel the right to exist either. I am against cruelties (yes, from Israel too) but I would stand up to speak for Israels right to exist and for the deconstruction of the Hamas.
PS What I appreciate though: we disagree — strongly I assume — on this topic. Yet neither of us has threatened the other or wished one another ill. This indeed is Lemmy and a big difference to Xitter and the other commercial platforms. Thank you for that (and the welcome, even though the latter might be meant rather ironically I'm afraid). Therefor a honest: "have a nice day 🙂" from me, if allowed.
If you say so.
