Israel as a state was created to wash away the sins of holocaust, but we can't atone for one genocide with another genocide.

The state must be abolished, the law must be decided by the indigenous people before the current settlers can be allowed back in as immigrants, if they clear the requirements set by the people.

There is no being against the genocide without being against the state of israel, because the genocide did not start today, it started the moment palestinians were displaced in the nakba.

The Zionist project to take over Palestine started in the late 1800s. Long before WW2.

Israel worked with the Nazis closely.

You mean Zionists?

Israel didn't exist when Nazis were in power. And when they did exist, they tried and murdered Nazis.

Same thing. Israel does not exist today either.

They certainly did not. https://thecradle.co/articles-id/37130

No. Read the history.

Israel was created to kick the Jews out of Europe, by antisemites like Churchill and Balfour.
