that's a fun spin on the accepted historical context that zionism was started by nationalists who banded together to get the jews out of their own countries and dump them somewhere nobody cared about. rabbis of the time even rejected the idea.

Ok sure I'll bite. How do today's Zionists define said state? Does it include occupied Palestinian territories? Can you see how that might be an issue for the people who are being occupied?

This is like the "Civil War was fought about states' rights and not slavery" argument. Technically true I guess but states' rights to do WHAT exactly?

Don't blame the world for conflating Zionism with genocide, when a large enough portion of Israelis support genocide that people like Netanyahu and Smotrich are in positions of power and are publicly calling for genocide on an almost daily basis.

The genocidal maniacs could, you know, stop genociding and support a two state solution, then maybe the exact definition of Zionism wouldn't be a punchline for the angry goose meme.

Then don't be that guy. You're quoting a Zionist source that is desperately trying to redefine Zionism in real time. Zionism is colonizing Palestinian land and building that joke of a country on top of it. Zionism is a colonization project.

(And no, all Jews are not Zionists, but the Zionists are very happy to try and conflate the two as much as possible.)

Equating "the desire for a jewish colonial ethnostate in the middle east as part of and supported by a Christian nationalist attempt to fulfill misinterpreted prophecy about the end times" to "a people culturally connected to and practicing a 5000 year old Semitic religion" is antisemitism because it equates the brutalities of colonialism and genocide with Judaism as a whole and puts innocent Jewish people in harms way who have no desire to create a jewish colonial ethnostate.

"You know, a swastika can also be a symbol of peace in India" says the guy with the shaved head that is constantly defending Hitler.

Half your comments are mossad talking points. You are literally the bad kind of Zionist.

Zionism means the aspiration for a Jewish state.

Yeah that is before they got their state, how bout now? If that's what it is, why are they still colonising west bank and bombing gaza? This is like arguing for the white guy with a swastika, because they're 100% not use it as a buddhism/hinduism symbol.

Colonialism is the practice of extending and maintaining political, social, economic, and cultural domination over a territory and its people by another people in pursuit of interests defined in an often distant metropole, who also claim superiority.

There's enough people here with thoughtful rebuttals

All I have to add is fuck you, you deplorable genocide apologist

You're fucking scum

Well, guess what. The definition has changed and Zionist now means "people who like Israel killing children". That original definition is the old, inaccurate one now.

Because words are defined by how they're used, and when self identifying Zionists are using the new definition, and everyone else is using the new definition, your "technically that's incorrect" statement means nothing.

The meme is using the word Zionist to mean "people who like Israel killing children" and you, me, and everyone else knows it.

Zionist immediatelly clocked
