The distinction between the longevity of a state and a nation lies in their respective concepts and origins. A state typically refers to a political entity with defined borders, a government, and a system of laws, and its duration is measured by the establishment of its political structure. In contrast, a nation pertains to a group of people who share common cultural, historical, or ethnic ties, and the duration of a nation is often rooted in the historical continuity of its people. While the founding of a state is marked by political events and the creation of governing institutions, the existence of a nation is shaped by the collective identity and cultural heritage of its populace, spanning generations regardless of changes in political structures. Consequently, a state can be relatively young in terms of its establishment, while the nation it governs may have a much longer historical trajectory, reflecting the enduring character of its people. i.e. the age of Ukraine as a state in it's current form is distinct from Ukraine as a nation.

Literally no one in the thread was talking about Israel the nation in a cultural or ethnic context until this post. It was a completely irrelevant elaboration that only served to intentionally and maliciously muddy the point, which is that- yes, the nation Israel- the political state since 1948, not the cultural, historical, or ethnic nation of Israel- is and has been committing genocide against Palestinian Arabs in Gaza. This, in turn, this was all in the context of a larger discussion about why it was okay for people to abstain for voting for Joe Biden on this principle, and for people to not go after disaffected Muslim Americans who should be their allies. All I said was that even if every single Jewish person wanted the genocide to occur (which obviously they don't, hence the if I used in my original post and the if I'm emphasizing here,) that would still not make the genocide okay. Genocide isn't okay! This shouldn't be in contention!

What I said isn't antisemitic. I stand on that. However, what you and others need to do is go and ask disparate why he thought it was relevant to bring up the entire cultural nation of Jewish people when I was clearly talking about the political state that came to exist after WWII. Maybe ask him why he thinks Jewish people are a pawn to be used in nonsense video game forum arguments about voting.

Ultimately, I'm used to people disagreeing with my politics. I'm also used to cliques and Discords forming narratives about individual staffers and the overall intention of staff. But honestly, so long as you keep the nonsense out of the forums, I don't care. Think what you want. What I'm not okay with is people lying about me, to my face, with receipts right there if you just read the conversation chain. And it's with the intent of trying to make me out to be antisemitic on top of it?

This shit stops now.

Unless your Jewish NepNep, by your OWN standards, you don't get to decide that. Jewish people do. But then again, since when did any of these mods or admins follow their own standards?

If these PoliEra fuckers had any guts, they'd threaten to mass email MOBA with their receipts unless Nepenthe resigns.
