    The ADL considers anti-zionism to be antisemitic.

    I literally don’t give a shit what the ADL thinks.

      Still poignant to point out how absolutely stupid and hypocritical this entire group is with their bullshit of literally defending a actual Nazi giving the Nazi salute in broadcast tv.

      This is the most clear possible destruction of their credibility. It’s the thing you point to when you say they’re full of shit.

        In 2016 they tired to say drinking milk was racist, now they’re saying being a Nazi is completely fine.

        The ADL is a joke, but I aint laughin’.

      Antizionism means to be a against Israel‘s existence. Half the world’s Jews live in Israel and the state protects them. Without the state of Israel millions of Jews are in danger of ethnic cleansing or genocide. So the consequences of antizionism are enabling antisemitic acts on a large scale.

        Zionism is trash. Israel is the one doing the ethnic cleansing and genocide and using Zionism as part of the excuse for it.

        I know it’s not the fault of Judaism or Jews in general but goddamn Israel is probably turning people antisemitic because of what they’re doing and have done.

          Yes. I keep reminding myself my Jewish friends did not choose to attack the Gazans and don’t agree with Israel’s actions, but wow is the antisemitic brain worm whispering at me.

        It doesn’t.

        millions of Jews are in danger of ethnic cleansing or genocide.

        They aren’t. Maybe some. Not in America, Britain, most of Europe.

          Zionism is literally the right of the Jewish people to self determination in the form of the state of Israel. It’s simply Jewish nationalism.

          Antizionism demands Israel‘s destruction and denies the Jewish nation the right to self determination.

          Denying the right to self determination only for the Jewish people, but not for other people (e. g. Palestinians) is antisemitic of course. If you’re opposed to all ethnicity based nation states or states in general, it’s not antisemitic. It’s rarely the case though, that anti-zionists are also against the existence of Finland, Italy, and Mongolia.

            So we should all stand to the side and applaud while Israel commits genocide? Look at them go, self-determining, so proud!
            Look at what you’re writing, really fucking look at it, and tell me you’re not supporting a fucking genocide.

            Get fucked.

                Cool, glad you think that way. I do have to say though… that’s not how any of your comments (that I have read) in this thread have come off…

                The way you came off sounded very much like:
                Zionism is Self-Determination for the Jewish people, and speaking out against the way it has been contorted to the ends of extermination of another people who have lived there for hundreds or thousands of years after they agreed to carve out a piece of their country and often welcomed and helped them, is 10000% antisemitism and you should be ashamed.

                And then also look at the way the Israeli government treats non-white Jews. Ethiopian Jews are treated almost as badly as Arab “citizens.” So don’t tell me that Zionism is respectable, or that it should be upheld. Or that it’s antisemitism to say that using Zionism as an excuse for an ethnostate is disgusting and a play by play reproduction of what was done by the Nazis, a perpetuation of abuse and trauma that will continue forever if it’s not stopped and stomped out.

                  It’s not my fault, you’re unable to read and only carry hate and prejudice in your heart.

                  extermination of another people

                  Is just a lie. There’s nothing close to extermination of Palestinians going on. Compare the number of dead to wars in Syria, Sudan, Azerbaijan, Yemen, Iraq.

                  Are too many Palestinians dying, yes. However, as has been demonstrated just now, Hama could have gotten a ceasefire at any time. They just don’t give a shit about Palestinian deaths.

                  then also look at the way the Israeli government treats non-white Jews

                  Check out how black Gazans are treated, that live in Abeed (Arabic for Slave).

                  Ethiopian Jews are doing pretty well in Israel.

                  Zionism as an excuse for an ethnostate is disgusting and a play by play reproduction of what was done by the Nazi

                  You don’t seem to have any understanding of what the Nazis did, what Zionism is, or what Israel‘s actual policies are. What you’re writing is at least holocaust relativism, which is antisemitic. You should be ashamed.

        That’s not all that Zionism is, you’re purposely changing it to fit your narrative. In other words, lying.

          That’s the core definition of Zionism. Look it up. There are many flavors of it that disagree on many things.

          There are of course antisemites, who will simply replace Jew with Zionist to spread their ideology in a more publicly acceptable manner.

            Yes let’s reduce it down to whatever was their base idea and not how they have been acting their entire existence. Those Nazis were just people that loved Germany the most! The Zionist didn’t just want to live in an area, they wanted everyone else out. Fuck those shit heads, displacement and genocide was the purpose from the beginning. You can disapprove of Israel as an entire nation and not be an antisemite.

        I am definitely against the existence of the world’s only Ethnostate, especially when it siphons money from America’s Healthcare Programs and uses them to kill Palestinian children for being the wrong color.
