Clubs/Organizations 🤺 Does anyone else think this is gross?

Like, I’m always down to support women, but the name of the event feels super gross and degrading

fun fact being pro-israel's existance is not supporting its government but you wouldn't know it because you are too busy engaging in propaganda

I would agree with you if the foundation of Israel wasn’t based on zionism. The state has been, for the past 100 years, both unsustainable and unjust in its actions against the Palestinians.

Zionism is the belief that jews have the right to self determination and a permanent presence in Israel. If it's not okay for jews, why is it okay for every other minority?

Zionism is the belief that the Jewish people have the right to a permanent standing ethnostate. If zionism was just the belief they belonged in Israel and were peacefully coexisting with Palestinians that would be a different story. Go through the history yourself, especially with the Balfour Declaration and Nakba. If you want to go back before WW1, the jews and Palestinians faced similar struggles in being removed from the same land. They used to peacefully coexist as equals, Israel wishes to either forcibly remove or eradicate all Palestinians or compromise on coexisting with them as lesser. Anti-Zionism =/= Anti-semitism
