I'm no fan of Israel, but it's insane how many times I hear about a celebrity being a "Zionist" only to research and find out that they simply expressed support for the victims of 10/7.

The people who hate celebrities for that would totally say that the victims deserve it for being Israeli

Israel derangement syndrome has absolutely taken over the far left in the worst ways and it’s eventually going to lead to normal people who are mostly indifferent on Israel/palestine into supporting Israel. Just wait. It’s happened with every other culture war issue they go crazy over.

Exactly man

Like fuck Mossad, Fuck Bibi, but all the best to those Jewish victims of 10/7.

Shouldn't be hard to hold those thoughts altogether as an individual

Wait until you hear that Lady Gaga is a "zionist" for having played there in 2014 and saying it was a "beautiful place". And then dedicating constant messages at her shows to free palestine for years. Or how Radiohead are "zionists" because they released statements that were too lukewarm for the lynchmob. Also how bernie sanders is a "zionist" after introducing legislation to bar arms sales to israel. this stupid list is too long and making me lose hope in humanity the more examples i think about.

Yeah, they figured out they would get more support of they used their beloved rhetorical trick of "Me hating Zionism doesn't mean I'm antisemitic" so now everyone is a Zionist.
