I said it.
I know of nothing more important than gathering scattered Israel.

I'm no anti-semite

As long as you keep your hands off me.
I want to get along peacefully with Jews.
Me too -- how special.
I'll have most people upset with me because without getting into the tortured and abysmal history of the region, I stand against atrocities no matter who commits them and think the only way out is to have both sides sit down and talk.

Relevance?
The thread is about antisemitism. When you wrote
I was moved comment on the polarization we read about by making a statement about what is special in an indirect and personal statement. Does that pass your relevance test?

I think it’s a good idea and biblical to live peaceably with everyone as much as possible…
…. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.
(Romans 12:18).
Nevertheless, with the rise in antisemitism occurring, it’s probably a wise idea to determine not to go along with such sentiments if or as they continue to increase.
The thread is about ...
As for ...

Are you familiar with the history of the word and its usage?
Or, for that matter, care. It is, after all, the favorite etymology fallacy of some.
I'm no anti- any ethnicity, race, or culture. I'm anti-unhumanitarian/abusive/hostile/violent behavior, regardless of ethnicity, race, or culture.
Some Jews don't think Israel should be a country and Jews would be fine without it.
My understanding is that Orthodox Jews are generally regarded as praying each year hoping that maybe they'll be in Jerusalem the next year.

Well, your Torah says the land belongs to you for one thing.

But the Torah doesn't give any geographical markings. The best that can be identified, that I've been able to find, are something like this depicted below from the Book of Joshua.
So if Judah and Benjamin were the tribes to settle Judea, and the only left to claim the land, then "Israel" would be MUCH smaller.
And I'm being argumentative on purpose -- to make the point, there's lots of ways to look at this controversy.
I've actually thought of that. Maybe the boundaries depend on the Jews' righteousness. I probably POed a few Jews saying that.
(I'm saying maybe the Torah specifies a variable border that depends on their righteousness).

You're probably correct. And you earned it. "Righteousness" shouldn't have anything to do with it, however "rightness" is what it's about.

The south considered the north to be less observant, and there is some truth to that. However, the 12 Tribal borders do not relate to that.
