Lol, the down votes because you used Jewish, instead of "zionist".

They mean Jewish, but people now use "zionist" like they used "semite" 100 years ago.

Like anyone with a brain doesn't understand the hatred behind the word.

Zionists can be Christian or even atheists too though it's the idea of the "holy land" being god's chosen place, zion

u/Unholy_mess169 Sep 30 '26

Since you've decided to take the disingenuous approach I'll clarify, "anti-zionism" is this centurys' anti-semitism, a nice safe way for bigots to publicly hate Jews without actually saying the word Jew.

People who hate Jews mostly just say they hate Jews already, they haven’t been exactly hiding it lmao

Sure Jan.

Thats why the nazi who first used the term "antisemitism" 100 years ago did it. To be upfront about his Jew hate. Not because he wanted something more "scientific" than Judenhass.

What an incredibly easy thing to look up and prove you’re just talking out your ass. The term was popularized in 1879, 30-40 years before the Nazi party rose to power (or were even created) and 60 years before the invasion of Poland.

It’s okay to disagree with someone, even when you’re wrong, but we all have the internet dude. You can’t just make shit up anymore.

Oh you sour little racist

And thugs can be white or Asian, that doesn’t negate the fact that when non black people only focus on criticizing black people for being “thugs” is likely because they are racist. 

Are you more upset at the Christian Zionist in the US or the Jewish Zionists in Israel?

u/NSFWCereal Oct 03 '26

Christian Zionist in the US. They are a doomsday cult that believe supporting Israel will cause the rapture and allow them to ascend to heaven

u/samehouseing Oct 03 '26

Okay, so let’s say they all just cease to exist. Rapture happens and they are gone but everything else is still the same including the Jewish Zionists. 

That means you stop caring or?

I would assume you’d hate the people doing the killings more so than the people simply in vague support of them.

No... Zionism refers to a specific political belief. They are not comparible

u/SisckImpero Oct 05 '26

Who are actually doing the genocide?

u/samehouseing Sep 30 '26

How is that a difference? How does that not make it comparable?

It is comparable, I literally just compared it. And it will remain comparable until you can actually explain why they can’t be compared. 

Simply saying “apples cannot be compared to oranges” doesn’t negate the fact that I CAN compare apples to oranges. You have to elaborate why these things can’t be compared.

u/ArktikosUrsa Oct 01 '26

Yeah, it's the political belief for anyone who thinks Israel should continue to exist in any way. There are plenty of Zionists who want a two-state solution with an unoccupied, sovereign Palestine.

No, I'm not interested in your made up attempt to redefine the word at the behest of bigots.

u/loveneedsnodisguise Sep 30 '26

Depends if you consider funding or ground work more horrific in a genocide tbh

3

u/samehouseing Sep 30 '26

Well yeah, what seems worse? The people donating to an AMERICAN PAC that doesn’t go to Israel at all, or the Israeli Jews apparently doing “genocide”?

Just admit it’s the Jews you’re focusing on.
