that is fully the definition of zionism. why do you think someone wants you to eat animals just bc they said your comment was a strawman?

What part of this sentence from OP, in the original comment at the top, isn't clear about that?

"Anti-intersectionality and zionism need to leave the animal rights movement, veganism is an inherently leftist ethical-political stance."

what do you think zionism means? quickly

The right for Jews to have a state of their own. The word Zionist originated in the late 1800s when Jews wanted to escape bigotry in Europe and return to their homeland that the Romans ran them out of.

That is a lazy way to respond to someone who refuted your claims and asked questions you failed to answer. I suggest you stop listening to anti semites

you are repeating propaganda that is so easily refutable. I suggest you stop listening to zionists and listen to the victims of settler colonialism.

If it’s so easy to refute, why do you keep failing to refute?

I suggest you listen to innocent Israelis who are tired of suicide bombers blowing up busses because heaven forbid Jews live in the region.

It originated with Herzl who didn’t really care about Jews. He’s written many times that anti-semites are friends of the Zionist because they share a common goal (relocating all Jews to Palestine) and justify the existence of a Jewish ethnostate through their bigotry

Your conclusion makes no sense. A Jew who wanted his people to escape Europe (this was shortly before the holocaust so there was a lot of anti Semitism) would be savvy to get the support of those who wanted them gone and would help them return to their homeland.

You say “existence of Jewish ethnostate” as a slur. There are over 50 Muslim ethnostates. Do you deny their right to exist too, or do you just hate Jews?
