"Zionism is a racist and settler colonialist movement, which opportunistically coopts aspects of Judaism in an attempt to justify its criminal practices of apartheid and genocide of indigenous Palestinians"
"To maintain this abusive, white supremacist dynamic, Zionist propagandists have promoted the anti-Semitic fallacy that Israel is a Jewish state, which represents Judaism and thus all Jews. This fundamental canard is at the root of Zionist propaganda (aka Hasbara), galvanising support for Israeli settler colonialism and attacking anti-colonial resistance"
"Today, Jewish pro-Palestinian activists who support Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement are detained, punished & even deported"
"The logical outcome of this fallacy erroneously determines that critique of Zionism/Israel is necessarily anti-Semitic. Successive Israeli governments have employed this trope as a talking point in order to sabotage critique of their criminal policies. Their cynical manipulation of the guilt surrounding the very real history of anti-Jewish bigotry and oppression has bolstered this tactic."
Me personally, I have nothing against the Jews as a people but I loathe and detest the Israeli government and the settlers, for the mass murderers they are. If anyone wants to call me an anti-semite for that - feel free go ahead - as far as I am concerned you can stick your fuckin definition of antisemitism where the fuckin sun don't shine!
@Paulos_the_fog Infact I've been told by a pro-palestinian jewish friend that equating any criticism of israel with anti-semitism endangers anti-zionists jews and downplays actual instances of antisemitism.
@Paulos_the_fog There are plenty of pro-palestinian jews (both israeli and diaspora) that have made it clear in these past months that advocating for palestinian lives ≠ anti-semitism
