Free Palestine.
From Hamas
And from Zionism
That word makes most people see you as the problem
Why
Since no one is bothering to answer, I’ll attempt to explain that perspective.
Many people see “Zionist” as coded language. Similar to how racists often call Black People “Thugs” in America.
Right or wrong, if you start throwing around the term “Zionist” a significant number of people will tune out to what you are saying.
To many, it also implies you anti-Israel and do not believe in a 2 state solution.
So what is the term for the large Israeli faction that seeks to occupy Palestine, has no problem stealing land or bombing children? Basically the people in charge now?
You're not allowed to talk about that.
The Zionist community has tried really hard to conflate Zionism with Jewish identity, to the point where anything critical of Israel and Netanyahu's regime is seen as antisemitic.
The word for this was literally never zionists. Zionism is simply the belief that the state of Israel, as a political entity, should exist.
Thank you, I stand corrected on that point.
So what is the term for the current people in charge who have no problem bombing civilians, killing children and stacking land through occupation?
Assholes?
To be clear, I have no interest in arguing this point. I only want to add context.
Not trying to argue, I've just anyways assumed the Zionists were the label they themselves used to describe themselves. Is it the Israeli far right? It's obviously not all Israel, I know many Israeli's are just as horrified by the treatment by Palestinians as other people.
I think the only people who see it as coded language are those who want to avoid the fact that Zionism is religious nationalism.
Most people I come across these days that aren't zionist shills can clearly tell the difference between anti-zionist and anti-semite.
It's pretty obvious when you're dealing with a zionist shill because it's impossible for them to be even the slightest bit critical of Israel.
Maybe there are some higher-level shills that are trained to be critical of Israel to be more convincing, though.
