Alot of us Jews hated Zionism when it first came out and continue to do so.
Zionism isn’t Judaism.
Comment on good shabbos
gedaliyah@lemmy.world 2 months agoCool, thanks for letting us know who the “good Jews” and “bad Jews” are. Without this helpful comment, we might have thought calling for the annihilation of 80-90% of an ethnic minority was problematic. /s

Yes, 10-20% of 15 million people is still a lot or people.

Anyone who thinks god give them a right to kill is a bad person. Full stop.

Agreed. Good thing that Zionism doesn’t mean any of that.

Yeah except, that you are entire wrong because you just made that up. Zionism was absolutely founded on the idea of an inherent right to commit violence for the perception of something owed: specifically, Palestinian land.

Read that essay, The Iron Wall, 1923, by Zionist author Ze’ev Jabotinsky, considered to be a foundational document of political Zionism, and then lie to me again telling me that Zionism isn’t founded on political violence.

If you’ve read Jabotinsky, I assume you’ve also read the far better know Theodor Herzl, whose Old New Land envisions a multicultural Zionist nation of peaceful coexistence between Jews, Arabs and other peoples.
Zionism does not require violence. That’s like saying that liberalism requires violence because of the writings of the French revolution.
