Your assumption is flawed. Is there a nation on this planet that wasn't created out of violence? Pretty much sure that would disqualify every nation in the world. Same with displacement of people. By the way do you live in America? Because pretty sure we've displaced the original settlers and we used are share of violence and i'M PRETTY sure religion played a key role. (YoU ON THE LEFt never hesitate to remind us of that on so many other occasions.) By that logic every nation is a tragic mistake in history and we should dissolve civilization as we know it. And I'm also pretty sure every nation and every civilization has used God as their right to exist, it just depends on what God.

Now I know you will know doubt say thiese are all straw man arguments to make your very real points which to be clear you do have and are not based in bigotry. You'll come back with arguments like 'anti west' or colonialism or American empire or the other buzzwords that you on the left love to use as catch-alls as well the idea of morality as if the world exists purely in a moral universe rather than a politcal or economic one. or the way it's all seen academically. Its fine to criticize Israel, reasonable people can agree on that. But that's not what these criticisms are. They argue the usual oppressor-oppresse logic following the leftist intellectual argument puts here. And they are built entire on quicksand that has no basis in the real world. You live in an ivory tower that the rest of us don't have the beneift of living. That's the best case scenarip. The worse case is you're just a bigot using intellectual arguments to hide it.
