Many years ago the godfather of far right Zionism Rabbi Meir Kahane in an interview with French journalists logically deconstructed liberal Zionist ideology. I never had any liking for Kahane but the man was right about the contradictions of liberal Zionism.
It’s always interesting to compare the views of American liberal Zionists with Israeli zionists. While the former will make excuses for the latter, Israelis are much more blunt in admitting the nature of their project.
Your statement would be less twee and disingenuous if you actually did apply it to the any other existing "ethnostates" that are Muslim or Christian-- like Iran, Egypt, Pakistan, Bangladesh (Muslim) or Armenia (Christian) and Vatican City (Catholic), but you don't. Indeed, Jordan used to be Palestine and kicked out all its jews in 1920, yet you seem unmoved by a jew free ethnostate ethnocleansed Jordan/Palestine situation. Funny that.
Your platitude would also be more convincing if you didn't studiously ignore that the "Palestine from the river to the sea (will always be Arab)" you support will be jew-free if PA wins and jew and christian-free if Hamas wins. But that is your record. End of the day, the only "ethnostate" you obsess over and want gone is Israel. For that goal you are willing to support (under a very thin veneer) ethnic cleansing and avandon every liberal principle you profess to own. It's pathetic. It's mental.
Why based on your record, it's as if your *i just hate ethnostates" response was pure smarmy poseur bullshit.
"Liberal" zionism sounds a lot like "kinder-gentler" nazism. Oxymoronic.

And @Joe Wrote enters the genocidal "Israel must be destroyed" phase he does not apply to any other country or polity.
“Ethnostates are bad” is a rubric I apply to every country.
