Dear Zionists,
It’s not libel if it’s true.

@aral for those who might be confused here: my mum is an enthusiastic #Zionist. Donates money, eats and repeats the propaganda.
She hasn’t the slightest Jewish connection as far as she knows. But she’s a fundamentalist RC who’s been got at by American Christian Zionists.
She repeats all the lies about ‘they were there first’ (“they” weren’t) etc also, no thinking what that might mean with regard to ‘settlement’. All discussion of Palestinians meets ‘what about Hamas?’
-40-50% of Israel’s Jewish population can trace some ancestry back to Europe, including Ashkenazi Jews, Western European Jews, and those from the former Soviet Union.
Netanyahu was Benjamin Mileikowsky, Ben-Gurion was David Grün, Sharon was Ariel Scheinerman, and the list goes on.
@aral This is not recent (you may well know it already) but Haaretz journalist Gideon Levi summarises it very well.
1. Many (not all) Israeli's see themselves as the Chosen people, so they can do whatever they want, and (2) they see themselves as victims. Add to this (3) systematic dehumanization of Palestinians.

The point is that anti-zionism doesn't say anything at all about 'jews' or about anybody else. It says an ideology is wrong, and destructive.
israel is a genocidal, apartheid state.
if you're offended by that statement, then you're either ignorant or in denial, and a genocide denier.
Jews are not "uniquely murderous". Anyone can become a Nazi, and anyone can oppose Nazis.
@burnoutqueen If you can show me where anyone said “Jews are uniquely murderous”, we can have this conversation (and I will condemn whoever said it as that’s an antisemitic statement).
Stating that Israel is a settler-colonial apartheid state that is commiting genocide, however, is something else entirely: it is the truth.
