I hate it when people say “Zionist” like it’s the same thing as being racist, homophobic, sexist, etc.

Thank you!! Zionism is not a form of prejudice. Trying to ostracize Zionists from society is not social justice

I mean it doesn’t even make any internal sense to do that, the criticism of Zionism as ethnonationalism isn’t really comparable to those things, it’s more applicable to compare to White Nationalism

I think most of those people do not have the nuance and historical context here to see much distinction between Zionism and Kahanism aside from degrees of support for the same thing

You do know Zionism just means believing in the right for Jews to exist in Israel which was made for Jews to have a safe place right?

No it’s not about the right for Jews to exist but a right to a nation state. No one is entitled to a ethno nation state. & it can’t be a safe place if it’s made at the expense of a local population

Zionism is another form of structural racism involving violence

What makes the Jewish plight for self determination any more racist/violent than any other indigenous plight for self determination?

Because they tried. And failed lol. Your only argument is that one side won the war that could’ve been avoided by simply not declaring war

So you feel Jews are an exception from every other group in the work to try and achieve self determination. That’s all you had to say. You’re gonna talk to a wall so long as you refuse to understand the concept that the Zionist movement in 1948 was a self determination movement recognized by the UN, not a colonialist project. The only credit I’ll give the Palestinian nationalist movement for their mistake in 1948 is that they didn’t actually have a national identity until ‘67

Yeah your screenshot definition is exactly what I said? It’s about a Jewish ethno state? When you said it’s about Jews right to exist there? Two totally different things

That doesn’t say it’s an ethno state it says it’s a Jewish nation aka a place for Jewish people to live and exist, that doesn’t say everyone else should be killed

The word “colonial” and “colonize” had different meanings in the 1800s!! It was a movement to encourage people to move and legally purchase land, which they did. We have words today that mean something different than they did 5 years ago, and you think 150 years doesn’t?
