Who is responsible bastardising the word “Zionist” and making it synonyms with “genocidal ethnostate supporting Nazi maniac”
I’m not Jewish, but I’m just so mad about this. There’s such a huge disconnect happening here, has anyone got to the bottom of it? It’s completely crazy and I’m fundamentally confused.
I guess what I was getting at, engaging in and popularising polarising language is in my opinion just playing into the hands of whoever is trying to create chaos right? We’re just little social media propaganda pawns for these other big players own agendas, and fuck that!
If you look at it- who self identifies as zionists- literally most Jews…. Because to them it means “self determination in our homeland of Israel”
Who decided that Zionist means “genocidal colonist, ethnostate Nazi maniac” ???
Like wtf why do Jewish people have to be told by a bunch of idiots supporting jihad who they are?
I dunno who first bastardised the word? maybe the crazy conservative Netanyahu government, maybe the Islamist fundamentalists, maybe Iranian funded Qatari media?
Either way- fundamentally- using it in such a negative flippant way is just an excuse to demonise and ostracise Jews. They may be an afghani or Syrian Jew and identify as a Zionist. How does that work? Are they Arab?
It feels like you’ve never known a religious fundamentalist or anyone in a cult. I have and I hate it. I hate seeing people manipulated through guilt, hate or dogma.
It feels racist tbh to think that jihadi groups with their own agendas aren’t smart enough to manipulate the western rhetoric. And It’s pretty obvious that’s what we’re seeing. Why tf are all these Hamas kids at the “hostage release parades (!!!?!!!!!?!!!????) swanning around with iphone 12s and vapes??!??? SERIOUSLY WHAT The HELL! And if we’re suspicious and critical of western media, like the BBC or whoever (as we should be) why do people not apply that same criticism to Al Jazeera “Australia”. Like do people genuinely think middle eastern people live in romantic caves with olive trees and no access to the internet? Do people think they don’t have the same potential for good and evil? Are they immune to indoctrination? Do they- especially women, deserve less autonomy and rights than we have?? do people think they’re not human???????
It’s completely ridiculous. Makes absolutely no sense. People in the west keep banging on about how it’s about indigenous land. If it was about land and not extremest ideology why isn’t it over? Why didn’t Yasa Arrafat make peace instead of orchestrating suicide bombings at the last second?
Why was the grand mufti friends with hitler?
One reason obvs now days I reckon (apart from just very very old ingraned insidious rampant constant antisemitism) is Because the Palestinians get billions of dollars in refugee aid which goes straight to the top. If they keep needing aid they keep getting paid. - Iran that is- at the end of the day. The Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon has been there for over 50 years- their situation is completely exploited by the PA, the Lebanese government and now Hezbollah- through receiving aid money. As long as they’re refugees the money keeps rolling in. They can’t leave the camp, they have no access to medical care, jobs, anything. Why doesn’t anyone talk about this?
The guys at the top don’t give a fuck about minorities or culture.
Why doesn’t anyone talk about the fact that Jordan doesn’t want any Gazan refugees because Hamas tried to overthrow their government by force a few years ago?
Why don’t people talk about the half a million Syrians killed by the Assad regime and now the fact that the Turkish backed militia is killing Kurds left right and centre and the Druze population of Syria is seeking protection from Israel because they’re terrified of being murderd under the new Islamist leaders.
Who does the Houthi flag (which I’ve seen at heaps of rallies in Sydney and in Melbourne) translates to to “death to America, death to Israel, a curse upon the Jews, victory to Islam” help?
The same groups who have been shipped off to butcher people in North Africa in the name of jihad. The same groups who have told moroccans they’re not Ahmazig they’re “arab” and gone about erasing native language. The same fundamentalists who murder Yazidis because their creation story revolves around a peacock god. The same fundamentalists who have a town in Gaza where all the black people live called Al-abib , which ltranslates to “slave town”
How on earth can anyone who’s grown up with vaguely western values support this??? I’m on board with - you don’t have the right to tell anyone else’s what they should think or believe- but so many white left pro Palestinian “freedom fighters” are doing just that. Demanding that people be on board with their “ oh just work up today to cosplay my revolutionary “globalise the intifada” “ shtick” or you’re a genocidal racist?!!! ITS COMPLETELY CRAZY
Why is the conversation always about ~~~ ZIONISTSSSS~~
And what does that even mean and to who?!!
It’s crazy!
either that or I am ughhhhh
