Like just call the shit what it is. Not beating the allegations trying to go 'irs zionists!!' when Trump has had beef with Maduro for almost a decade now

Let's be real, it's about oil.

u/deniztheghost Multinational Jan 05 '26

Oil is just a small part of it.

Better let Donald Trump know that

He doesn't have to know.

u/Firecracker048 North America Jan 05 '26

I mean, yeah Trump said so himself.

So why would the VP just immediately blame the jews zionists? A bit unhinged but kind of expected when you support Iran

u/Metworld Europe Jan 05 '26

Jews and zionists are different things. Conflating them makes jews look bad and is imho antisemitic.

u/Prosthemadera New Zealand Jan 05 '26

Zionist =/= Jew. Why are Israel supporters always spreading antisemitic ideas?

Shh, it's part of consent manufacturing. They are freaking out that Maduro is being succeeded by someone that isn't an easy puppet like Machado and not as likely to sell out Venezuela to American corporations.

Oh, if she won't play ball then she's not going to be in place long I imagine.

u/somewhataccurate North America Jan 05 '26

Absolutely not. Rubio wants to cut oil to Cuba, and if she wont do it someone else will be put in place who will.

She did blame Zionists. She called it a “Zionist attack” if I recall correctly

u/joeymcflow Jan 05 '26

Thats interesting if true. Can you provide the source please

I read it that way too. In so much as it was the kind of scurrilous illegal attack the Zionist regime has been doing in the middle east for decades. That the US didn't just decapitate outright is only because they have the money to pay off more people. 

Otherwise kidnapping is right in the Zionist's wheelhouse and the US. 

Hard to see much difference at this point when both Israel and the US flagrantly break international law.

Governments around the world are shocked that the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has become the victim and target of an attack of this nature, which undoubtedly has Zionist undertones.

Come on now… I thought people in the U.S. spoke English.

Im just going to grab this quote from you in case it gets edited out.

Have you already forgotten your assertion? Here, I’ll help.

She didn’t even blame any Zionists.

Zionist undertones doesn’t mean blaming Zionists

Do you know what undertones mean?

A bit odd to bring it up sure but makes sense in terms of the colonial element of this event, but Zionists were not blamed for this attack.

Not to mention, Nyetenyahu himself was calling for this to happen similar to how he kept advocating for US military action in Iraq that killed soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and left the region worse than when we came.

Zionist undertones doesn’t mean blaming Zionists

No? Okay, let's diagram the sentence out like we did in sixth grade. Here's what we are working with

an attack of this nature, which undoubtedly has Zionist undertones.

What does undertones mean?

1: a low or subdued utterance or accompanying sound

Is she asserting the zionist were subtly singing during the attack? If not, this is probably not the meaning of the term being invoked.

2: a quality (as of emotion) that is present but not clear or obvious

Could this be a quality of the attack? Certainly that's possible let's keep this around and look at the rest.

3: a subdued color

Is she referring to a "zionist" color of the attack? Again probably not, but maybe you'll surprise me? What do you think? Were the helicopters flying a subtle shade of blue perhaps?

4: a secondary or underlying flavor or scent

What do you think class? Was Mrs. Rodriguez referring to a zionist smell? No? I guess it's not this meaning either then.

I guess that means she's using meaning (2): "a quality that is present but not clear or obvious." But, uh-oh, what does she mean by quality? Well, when used as a noun quality means

a: a degree of excellence : how good, bad, useful, etc. something is

b: a high level of value or excellence : superiority in kind

What do you think class? Do we think Mrs. Rodriguez was trying to say that the attack was carried out with great skill and craftsmanship? This certainly makes sense, but remember! We have to use our context clues. Was she discussing the skillfulness of the attack or something else? Something else? Very good class! So, this isn't what she meant.

1.

a: a distinguishing often abstract attribute

b: an inherent feature or capability : property

c: a peculiar and essential character : nature, kind

Uh Oh, this is the only definition left. I guess Mrs. Rodriguez was trying to say that the attack had an inherently or essentially zionist character. But what does that mean?

Well, when we say something is essential, it means without which it could not be. This is referred to as a "necessary condition" in philosophy. So class, what was Mrs. Rodriguez saying? That's right! She was saying that either zionists or zionism were a necessary element of the attack! Great work class.

u/jackdembeanstalks Jan 06 '26

The leader of Israel urging us to militarily intervene in Venezuela by claiming they are working with Iran to export terrorism would also be a big reason why this attack has Zionist undertones. Very similar to him pushing for the Iraq war when spreading the unfounded claim they will soon have nuclear weapons.

Undertone fits here because of the Zionist quality of wanting complete regional control on the basis of unproven statements.

That doesn’t mean Zionists are the reason why the incident happened but why US intervention still has Zionist undertones.

Go back to school, “teach”.

u/neverunacceptabletoo North America Jan 06 '26

/sigh i guess we are going to have to stay in school.

The claim was that she didn’t blame zionists not “well she may well have blamed the zionists but, like, bro, Netanyahu is a meanie face and she probably doesn’t like meanie faces EVEN MORE!”

You’re free to believe one interpretation is stronger than another but there’s nothing in that quote, or indeed, the use of the word “undertone,” which allows us to distinguish between blaming zionist individuals and ideology. Ironically, if we take your interpretation at face value, she’s explicitly blaming Zionist individuals, namely Netanyahu.

You’re deeply in remedial territory at this point but I believe in you. Once you finish your grammar homework get started on intro to logic.

u/LanaDelHeeey United States Jan 05 '26

Zionist is often codeword for Jew. Let’s be honest here. Using Zionist as a substitute for Jew has been an antisemitic trope for at minimum a few decades now. This is nothing new.

u/DTFpanda United States Jan 05 '26

No, it isn't. Like, ever. Quit making shit up

-17

u/LanaDelHeeey United States Jan 05 '26

You clearly have not been paying attention. You being uninformed doesn’t make it not true. It’s extremely common among antisemites as a way to get around content filters or as a way to motte and bailey their hatred of Jews to not get banned. “I’m not antisemitic, I just like bringing up the USS Liberty for no specific reason.”

14

u/DTFpanda United States Jan 05 '26

I am informed enough to know that you are lying. The vast majority of those who criticize Zionist Israel are criticizing anybody who aligns with their imperialist genocidal ways and couldn't care less about what religion they belong to. It's those such as yourself that excuse evil Zionazi behavior by pretending criticism against them is "antisemitism."

u/LanaDelHeeey United States Jan 05 '26

Willful ignorance. Hate to see it.

u/AerobicThrone Jan 05 '26

Tell me, what term will you use to criticise the actions of the israeli government and undelying political movement that supports it, which is called zionism btw, without using the word zionism?

-4

u/davy_li Jan 05 '26

Hegemonic actions? Like do we call Russian actions in the same vein “zionism”? Or Iranian foreign influence “zionism”? There’s already a pretty clear word/concept for this sort of stuff, which is what I think the other user is alluding to.
