    Zionism is equivalent to Nazism.

    Zionism at its heart is a form of violent Fascism, as well as a form of Settler-Colonialism that maintains it’s prominence and territorial expansion by commiting genocide.

    Zionism should be met with the same vigorous resistance and removal from society as Nazism.

    Zionism PREDATES Nazism. Modern political Zionism started in 1897, the Nazi movement didn’t begin until the 1920s.

      And because SO many people can’t seem to wrap their heads around this concept and keep shouting their ignorance at us I feel the need to constantly yell back at them:

      Anti-Zionism is NOT being anti-Semitic or hating Jews or hating the PEOPLE.

      Anti-Nazism is NOT being anti-German or hating Germans or hating the PEOPLE.

      Anti-Fascism is NOT being anti people or races or religions or literally ANYTHING except the politics/philosophy/actions/behaviors/hate/control/abuse that is fascism.

      We are literally ONLY protesting the genocides, the murder of innocent people, the bombing of civilian areas, the abuse and horric conditions, the hate, the racism, the fear mongering, the lies, the gaslighting, the violence. WE ONLY WANT PEACE FFS!!! STOP CALLING US RACIST FOR WANTING CEASEFIRES!!!

    2 state solution.

    No more Iran and US intervention.

    Sanctions on Israel to rebuild.

    If they managed peace in the balkans, then you can find peace anywhere.

      Would germany want a 2 state solutions with the nazis? No. They obliterated them and send them to a tribunal.

      No more nazis as a state. Now the modern germany exists.

        It’s not that simple. East Germany is still far right politically and votes for authoritarian groups like AfD. The Nazis are gone but their influence is still there.

        I get what you are saying and agree on the surface level. But the Nazis that were tried and removed were the leaders, not all the regular Nazi citizens. And Israelis hate Palestinians as much or more than Nazis hated Jews but certainly more than Nazis hated other Germans. And unfortunately it’s easier to see on the skin level the difference in who is who. The two shouldn’t integrate into a single country is my point.

          holy shit do you even know what im talking about? do metaphors just goes straight above your head? here, let me do THE work for you.

          The nazis are BAAAAD The germans, some are GOOOOD They want BAAAAD people to go away They want BAAAAAAAD people to be afraid so they kill, murder, and tribune their problems away

          They dont want a two state solution, if it exist, because who the fuck wants to make peace with an organization that kills without care for the sake of glory?

          God, Sometimes I thought I was still on reddit. Please think before saying, “not this shit again”. Touch grass. Meet real people. Actually, meet palestinians and ask them directly why they dont want a two state solution, which the test of the west wants.

        Yeah, but I think sometimes people forget that the “fuck israel” has to be derived from “free Palestine” and just get a little carried away feeling comfortable in having someone they’re allowed to meaninglessly hate and vilify as the badguy

        There’s a great quote that you must love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor, and that framing made a big impact on me. So much of the discussion online about plaestine is centered on Israeli atrocities, moreso than Palestinian tragedy and loss.

        I get why, but the important thing is the liberation of the Palestinian people. Hatred for their oppressor is meant to come from hatred of their oppression.

          Mossad fucked with EVERYONE’S governments! From USA to Russia. You know, the pedo baby-eater who explicitly mentioned a plan to get rid of the poor.

          And Glishaine Maxwell had Mossad awsociation too. Now look what they are doing to Palestine.

          Hope you understand, that area needs to be fucking walled off, and anyone prevented from going in. Thanks to the religious nutbags, that entire area is a memetic hazard.

          Now I’m not going to say nuke Israel again, but that place needs to be gone one way or another. Idk, deport them to somewhere else, then salt the land and have border guards preventing the place from ever being settled again.

            The place you’re saying to salt the earth is the stolen land of the Palestinians.

            Which, thats kinda exactly what I mean by loosing sight of liberation for the oppressed. You’re talking about whether to nuke the (stolen) homeland of a suffering group.

            You gotta remember that the point is justice, not retribution. And jutice often should include consequences. But that doesn’t make it the same thing as vindictive persecution.

              You don’t understand, so long as there’s some bibble bullshit about endtimes happening in Israel, there will always be someone trying to end the world. That’s the specific issue here.

              Of course, it’s someone else’s problem how to solve this ethically 🎵

      I’m actually becoming deeply convinced that one of the biggest dangers to the Jewish community is Israel itself.

      As things currently stand, they have the power to make people hate Jewish people more than just about anything else in this world.

      Not because I’m conflating being Jewish with being Israeli or vice versa, but because that appears to be the message they want to the world to embrace. That is really synonymous with being Jewish.

      Look at how quickly right wingers run the world are to jump to calling you anti-Semitic if you don’t appreciate something israel does.

    This is another good example of saying “Fuck (country name)” they’re usually talking about the government of that country, and not necessarily the citizens. For example, Russia can fuck right off, but I’d expect that most Russian citizens are decent people who are merely drowning in propaganda. Lots of people are, all around the world.

            I don’t think anyone not living in America understands how deeply propaganda is pushed here across media and culture. The ruling class has distorted everything so much it’s hard to have a coherent conversation with most people on real issues. The misinformation and capital class talking points are intensely deep seated.

              I think it’s pretty obvious for us here outside the US too. It is like bad body odour, it is harder to notice when you’re inside it and used to it.

            No. I’ve had several people admit to me that the hatred is the point.

                I judge people based on their choices and actions.

                Some have chosen to embrace the hatred. And so I judge them for it.

                At this point in my life, I’m not interested in attempting to redeem people who have chosen evil.

              Hate is a multi-billion dollar business in America. The capital class spends obscene amounts of money to keep people hating each other and stoke the culture war. It’s the evolution of the old school union busting on the 1900s.

      I take that approach for almost countries, but I have a hard time with Israel because their polls continue to show 80%+ support for the genocide. That’s a huge portion of the population to be irredeemable.

      Tbh, Israelis as a whole invite a lot of hate upon themselves by wholeheartedly supporting outright genocide. Public polling there shows a disturbingly large number of even young, secular Israelis advocate for killing everyone in Gaza, including women and children:

      https://zeteo.com/p/its-not-just-netanyahu-a-lot-of-israelis

      https://theconversation.com/in-israel-calls-for-genocide-have-migrated-from-the-margins-to-the-mainstream-250010

      That doesn’t mean every Israeli or every Jewish person is culpable or suspect, ofc. But I think it’s even more justifiable to distrust the country as a whole as it is to distrust the US electorate after re-electing Trump. Netanyahu is corrupt and bloodthirsty, but his policies still enjoy broad support from voters there.
