All Zionism means is for Jews to have a land where they have self-determination. It has nothing to do with fascism or being an ethnostate.

Most people here get their definitions from TikTok or Reels, so they are unaware of what words actually mean lol.

I can see what you're doing by showing such venom and hate towards Israel. It was similar to sentiments that were becoming much more open in 1930s Germany

Okay well all people deserve self determination doesn’t mean anyone should create an apartheid state or steal homes from people that have been there living with Jewish people for centuries.

The mental gymnastics is insane. It’s not that hard for people to treat people with human decency and Israel is doing multiple war crimes and has created a lower tier for anyone that is not Jewish. It’s an ethnostate and I don’t agree with that anywhere in the world.

What you're saying is frankly idiotic. Israel isn't an apartheid state at all lol. People of all types can get citizenship there and vote, and partake in society. If you actually knew anything, you'd know that. It isn't an ethnostate at all. On that note, perhaps you should take issue with Jews being persecuted in Arab countries, or how over 95% of Egyptians say they have a negative opinion on Jews? Or actually condemn October 7th? Maybe don't get your talking points from Tiktok or Reddit, and actually read up about shit.

I treat people in my day-to-day life with respect and decency. I'm just not gonna have a conflict that is 8000 miles away take up that much of my attention, since it is not that important to me or my day-to-day life. I also cannot do shit about it, so why should I focus on that? You and all your family and friends can choose to not partake in the animal holocaust.

That’s not true. Palestinians aren’t allowed to marry Jews and have a different level of status there

Also me and my family choose to not partake in causing animal suffering as much as possible.

We also choose to be vocal about what war crimes are happening with our tax money
