What I've seen is that people get called a zionist without just cause frequently so I'm highly skeptical of anyone even using the term without evidence. I myself have been called a zionist a dozen times at least and I have never really even said anything that could be construed that way. The last time I remember it happening was by a user who literally had re-posted a neo-Nazi and was trying to sweep it under the rug. What was my offense? Pointing out that the user was a neo-Nazi. Yeah man sure if you think Nazis are a bad place to get your info you must love Israel and genocide /s
Pot calling the kettle black. Which just further lessens your credibility, if one wasn't already familiar with your lack of it.
Ooh wow such coolness. A user hates me for cryptic reasons. Must also make me a zionist somehow. I take it I'm less credible than neo Nazis in your eyes
Another bad faith shit take, not answering the critique and playing victim. You have no credibility.
What a crash out, wow.
Hey buddy. This really isn't so difficult. I'm going to clarify things for you and make this very simple for you.
Do you believe Israel has a right to exist as a nation state? Yes or no? If you answer yes, you are a Zionist. There is no burden of proof required. It is an ideology, this is not a court of law.
You pussyfooting around the point all but confirms to a scrupulous reader that you're very likely a Zionist, but I'm willing to be wrong on this. Just tell us you condemn Israel and admit it has no right to exist and we will happily clear your name of the evil Zionist label.
But something tells me deep down inside that you're going to throw a fit instead.
The correct question should include "as a Jewish state".
No, that's just a random caveat you created to make yourself feel better.
Israel has no right to exist as any kind of state. I did not stutter.
Right, if you can't tell us that Israel has no right to exist, you're a Zionist. "Fuck Israel" is a weak cop out that scumbags use to hide their Zionism.
Now you can stop acting confused when people label you that way, right? Right?
Zionist trash.
