1. Anti-Zionism is antisemitism. nt

6. Yes, The definition here shows what Zionism is

and if one is an Anti Zionist they are Anti Semitic.

What's the difference between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism?

Anti-Semitism is "hostility and prejudice directed against Jewish people" (OED).

Zionism refers to the movement to create a Jewish state in the Middle East, roughly corresponding to the historical land of Israel, and thus support for the modern state of Israel. Anti-Zionism opposes that.

3. Good to know the left learned from the Red Scare

This is unfuckingbelievable.

10. "Waiting to be told how it really isn't antisemitism..."

Probably won't be long now....

Where would we be if someone didn't come along and 'splain to us?!

Next on "The 'Smash Zionism' Agenda"....

4. I swear to god

If these people start burning books by Jewish authors, others will start chiming in that we're unfairly criticizing their cozy campfire.

"It's a peaceful campfire!"

And then I'll finally snap and just start going ham on anyone who so much as utters the word Zionist within my hearing.

This is pure ignorance. And the worst blend you can have in any culture is a blend of ignorance, racism, and an unerring sense of moral righteousness about it.

5. Twitter and TikTok have been doing this

since October. Is your fav actor/musician/ athlete a Zionist???

Of course many have abandoned their boycott because the lists got too long.

9. Entertainers, artists, comedians, athletes, scientists, entrepreneurs, chefs, politicians -- everybody on the list!

Oops, that would be inconvenient. Purity is too hard.
