    Did all Ottomans vanish from existence when the Ottoman Empire collapsed? Did all Soviet citizens vanish when the USSR collapsed? Have you even thought for two seconds about what happens to a state’s people when the state dissolves?

        Israel is a state. The Ottoman Empire was a state. The USSR was a state. Dissolving a state does not equate to killing all the people living in the state. States and people are not the same thing. Open a fucking history book. No one here but you is talking about killing all Jews.

        You specifically envison the Jewish people losing sovereignty

        Here you go again conflating Zionism and Judaism. No, we’re talking about Israel losing sovereignty, because they’ve been using that sovereignty to commit genocide. I neither oppose nor support a Jewish state on its own. I don’t actually care one way or the other. It’s Israel’s genocide that is the reason for my opposition to them.

        And the people running things now want them all dead.

        You’re thinking of Israel, the state actively conducting a genocide against the Palestinian people.
