    anti Zionism

    Is there a way to be anti-zionist without practically wanting all jews to leave the area where Israel currently is? It’s about wanting to dismantle the country known as Israel, isn’t it?

    edit I asked the question, but it was of course rhetorical. Anti-Zionism is exactly wanting to dismantle the country known as Israel, not giving a fuck what happens to the people living there.

      Zionism is the support of a Jewish/white supremacist apartheid state.

      I am an anti-Zionist. I don’t think apartheid ethnostates should exist. That is not the same as saying “I think all Jews should be run out of the historical land of Palestine.” It means I believe in equal opportunity and governance for all people, regardless of their class, ethnicity, gender, religion, or lack of religion.

      You could look at it that way, but countries have come and gone throughout history. However they got there, they are there now, if they would peacefully coexist in the area, then it was Zionism that put them there but they would no longer be practising the murderous expansionism of Zionism.

      The problem is thats not gonna happen without some kind of reckoning, and even if that were to happen, the reparations due are incalculable at this point
