@ravage

i wish more Israelies did question the need for their state to exist. I know there are people raised in Israel or living there who question the need for a separate Jewish state. I think the Israeli right calls them self hating jews. *(http://www.jcpa.org/phas/phas-30.htm)

Im not sure why you fail to see the link between ideological nationhood and a vocation built around analyzing ideology. Just because it arguably hasnt occurred in other instances doesnt negate it as a factor in this instance. So much for the intellectuals. As for the people on GS, I havent been following those threads and wont bother speaking wrt them.

The point of bringing up Baloch liberation or Bangladesh is not to validate those particular struggles, but to demonstrate that this is not a preoccupation of elitists or intellectuals as posited by some on this thread. You mention Bosnians, Kosovars, South Sudanese as wishing they had passports. Another view would be think they’re Yugoslavs and Sudanese who question their identity.

Ravage the Israelis in question do not question the need for a Jewish state. The question the actions of its government and more importantly the barbarity against the Palestinians. But all “self-hating Jews” give unequivocal support to an Israeli state. J street is a perfect example of that. They do not question the need for them to have their own country. What they question is the need to separate the Palestinians or the Arab Israelis from the Jewish Israelis.

I question it because it is not natural. If it is can you name two more communities or nations that question their own very existence?

As for the comment about Sudanese or Yugoslavs. Serbians nor Sudanese consider these communities their own. Statements in the ICJ by Serbians are a testament to that fact. As for South Sudan, those in Khartoum considered them less than human. They weren’t considered equals or Sudanese.*
