Edit: Blocked the author's name, because it's not my tumblr. I didn't expect so many people to misinterpret it and respond in this way.

Edit 2: This is not from the same author, but it's a reply to them. I think it might help clarify the post for those that are confused:

I normally don't worry about usernames on tumblr, but since there've been some really out-of-pocket misconceptions in the thread, I don't want anyone to harass them.

You could say the same thing about the US

You think I don't? And what part of the post leads you to believe the author wants Jewish people to "go back to their country"? That is NOT in the post. Where are you getting this, and what are you arguing against? Definitely not my post!

The post argues how jews occupied the land and are treating Palestinians poorly and the proposed solution is to 'make every country safe for jews' and 'stop creating an ethnostate'. The past is past, you can't undo all the things that already happened. The "ethnostate" already exists. Other countries stopping from being antisemitic won't solve anything now. So what I understand is being proposed, between the lines, is for other countries to stop being antisemitic, so the Israelis can go to those other countries instead of their own and give the land back.

No, the Jews that are already there can stay. More can immigrate if it fits into the national agenda. They just live in Palestine and have to participate in a real democracy instead of an ethnostate. And yes, it must be safe for both Jews and Arabs (and Christians, Beduins etc.).
