Can't say I care about how they feel about Zionism being vilified when some of the most influential proponents of it are the ones currently pushing for stealing even more land from Palestinians in the West Bank and continuing the genocide of Gazans.Of course you don't care, because you're not affected by it. I stated in my previous post that literally all the anti-Zionist rhetoric that you see today is beat for beat regurgitated crap from the Soviet Union's antisemitic campaign.

Quote:Won't even get into the semantics of it, Zionism as it is represented by many of its fervent believers has caused and continues to cause tens of thousands of deaths and the dispossession of millions, thus condemning it is essential and I applaud the organizers of the event.Zionism isn't this large evil boogeyman responsible for all the evils in the Levant. Zionism didn't kill tens of thousands of Palestinians. It's a result of the governing bodies who have a vested interest in selling a zero-sum game solution to the Israel/Palestine conflict, whether that's Bibi and his cronies, Sinwar and Hamas, the Palestinian Authority, etc.

Nah mate, I think about the hundreds million more whose lives have been ruined by that sad excuse of a nation.Ah, I see I'm talking with an extremist. You'd be hard pressed to find a country that hasn't committed war crimes and enslavement in its history.
