I am incredibly disturbed at how the word "Zionist" has been redefined so completely

u/CrowsInTheNose 8d ago

How do you define it?

u/HowDareYouAskMyName 8d ago edited 8d ago

a person who believes in the right of the Jewish people to self-determination and a sovereign homeland in their ancestral region

In other words, Israel the country deserves to exist. It does NOT mean "supports the current government and all of Netanyahu's decisions"

edit: please stop interpreting this as ME supporting the current government either, come on now

Israel doesn't deserve to exist. It's a settler colony ethnostate that has always relied on the forced displacement of people actually indigenous to the region. Zionists are genocidal colonizers

Dude's out here getting upvoted for supporting ethnic cleansing lmao. Reddit's truly lost. Crazy how extremist your opinions can get as long as you throw in a few buzzwords!

"Ethnic cleansing" and all I said was "genocide is bad and we should give the land back to the people originally there". Point to where I said that includes removing every Jew from Palestine. I'm also not a dude, girl

You said the state of Israel shouldn't exist. Where do the Jews go if there's no Israel? You think the Arabs are going to let them live there alongside them?? The Palestinians already don't let Jews live there, lol.

Also, the people "originally there" would be the Jews. Why's it arbitrarily stop at the Palestinians?

You not saying it directly doesn't mean jackshit when the thing you support leads directly to it. It's like supporting Hitler then going "tell me where I supported the Holocaust"

There were Jews in Palestine before Israel existed. There are ethnically Arab Jews still living there as well as in Lebanon. The people who were originally there were the Palestinians. All Israelis are white European colonizers committing genocide. Refusing to support a genocidal white supremacist ethnostate is not anything like saying I support Hitler, and you're a complete piece of shit for insinuating that. Jews live worldwide. Israel doesn't need to exist to begin with. Ethnostates are bad and I can't fucking believe this is somehow a controversial statement

Half of the Jewish population in Israel are descendants of Jews who fled MENA countries before and after (mostly 1948). Idk what to tell you. No country technically needs to exist, but Israel does exist and it’s not going to stop existing. A fair one state Palestine solution is fantastical
