I don't really think it matters? Why is the specific demographic make up of a genocidal state, or any state, that important?
I agree it's not a huge deal, but I do think it further adds credence against the tired arguments of "Anti-Israel = Anti-jewish"
No reasonable person makes that argument. Those specific arguments are made in bad-faith by Zionists, same with the constant sleight of hand where Israel doesn't represents all of Judaism, but also if you criticize the actions of the Israeli state, you are an anti-semite. It's not an argument you should entertain because it's designed to waste time and distract both online and at press-conferences or statements.
It's so that congress people like those in the "squad" have to constantly defend themselves against antisemitism instead of pointing out that the Secular Government of Israel is committing genocide.
I brought it up because it kind of disproves the idea that “Jews have a special relationship with that region and/or are uniquely entitled to it.” They’re not even the majority there currently! And they weren’t in 1948 either.
