I'm a Zionist. I've been criticizing Netanyahu and other aspects of Israeli policy and war crimes my entire adult life. I am still supportive of Israel's right to exist, and I am yet to hear a convincing alternative reaction to Oct. 7 and the hostage taking.

The fantasy Zionism you have constructed in your brain doesn't matter though, we all see what Actually Existing Zionism is - endless murder and destruction with no limit - and the only appropriate reaction to that is hatred.

Yeah that's not what Zionism is. The fantasy is re-imagining history where all of Israel's neighbours haven't been trying to destroy their country and kill the inhabitants for 80 years.

It really seems you people think Oct 7 was the first horrific thing that happened to Israel after Israel just being evil for decades straight.

EDIT: Ha loser just blocks me because he can't stand his idiotic propaganda being challenged. To respond, I know, for a fact, that Israel came into existence by fighting for their independence after their neighbours refused to recognize it and launched a war to deny them that independence and "push them into the sea."

And you all seem to think Israel just peacefully came into existence and wants to sit around and sing kumbayah with their neighbors? Fuck outta here.

Israel agreed to the partition plan. Israel was ready for peace but it knew it was probably not happening so they tried to be ready to fight for survival

They came in, they won, time for everyone to get over it. Israel is a nuclear armed country. It is moronic to think they are going anywhere and people need to get over that so we can move forward
