    Is it okay yet to admit that Israelis and zionists are evil, or still not acceptable no matter how many other cultures they are genociding? I’m not going down the rabbit hole of “jews” because I personally know many other jews who are completely horrified by what Israel is doing in their name. But it begs the question. If this is the end-result…do jews “really” need or deserve their own homeland? Did so many of them survive an effort to genocide them, only to do the exact same to others now for no other reason than grabbing clay and religious fanaticism?

    If the I in “AIPAC” stood for “Italy”, people would have questions…

      Zionism is an ideology, Jews are an ethnicity / religion.

      Nazism is an ideology. Germans are an ethnicity.

      Plenty of people can be nazis or zionist without being in the in-group explicitly, and vice versa.

      Zionism is modern day fascism.
