    Three reports to the effect of hate speech so far.

    Some people can’t distinguish a people from a state. A genocidal apartheid settler-colonial state, at that.

        This is the result explicit, aggressive and longstanding propaganda by the State of Israel and its foreign agents like AIPAC.

        They want there to be no conceptual space between the State of Israel, the Jewish religion, and the Jewish people around the world, so they can turn any criticism of Israel into antisemitism and therefore a hate crime.

        Image titles:

        Using the google algorithm, which by design includes related results, is probably the worst way to “prove” anything.

        Exactly: As your Google search result shows, the state of Israel putting the star of David on their flag was a brilliant propaganda move, much to the detriment of non-Zionist and ant-Zionist Jews. Zionists work very hard to have us conflate anti-Zionism with anti-semitism.

    Quite a few downvotes from Germans, even more than I expected. A lot of Germans are confidently incorrect about Zionism, Zionists, and the settler-colonial state of Israel.

      Losurdo has a few good chapters specifically about a lot of the modern german ideological support for zionism in his book War and Revolution.

      It’s a really complicated subject, dealing with the historical guilt from the judeocide, and supporting Israel being an easy and surface-level way to alleviate that guilt.

        No doubt reinforced by enormous amounts of hasbara.

      I haven’t the slightest idea of what you’re trying to say.
