This is possibly the single largest Gish gallop I have ever read on Medium. Bravo for that award.

As it is a Gish gallop of one lie/misrepresentation after another, I would need at least 10x the space to go through it. "History has shown" that people don't read the response to such lies as yours.

That being said, I will respond to two points. You live in California (according to your medium bio), and write about Jews and Jewish issues while simultaneously claiming that "Jews may have the right to live anywhere in peace, but history has shown that right can only be protected by a Jewish-majority government, and Israel is the only nation with a Jewish-majority government."

California does not have a Jewish majority government. Nor does New York (where the largest concentration of Jews outside Israel live). Nor does the US. Jews are clearly protected in both those states (and all others) and the US in general, as they are in Germany and Austria - the founding countries of the Nazis.

Jews may or may not have been a majority in Palestine - thousands of years ago. That claim is based on a religious text. That does not give Israelis the right to ethnically cleans and genocide the Palestinians living there for the last several hundred years any more than a guy from Rome could show up in Tarragona, Spain and demand to take the flat of people living there because Rome conquered that area 2000 years ago and the Roman city of Tarraco was the largest Roman city outside of Rome for hundreds of years.
