    Anti Zionism ≠ Anti Semitism.

    Some people wants every body human rights to be respected, and dennounce crimes against humanity that Israel and Hamas commits, one being an alleged country and the other a terrorist organization.

    The right for self determination of Palestinians (and to live) is not being respected by Israel, so, with confidence I will say Free Palestine!

      Anti Zionism ≠ Anti Semitism

      In the West, maybe. For Hamas specifically…am I seriously the only one who read their charter? They cite the most notorious antisemitic hoax of all time with a straight face and their stated goal is to wipe out Israel and kill Jews.

        Very few people are arguing for Hamas. Mostly for the civilians of Palestine. And even Hamas claims it’s changed somewhat since the original charter.

          They launched an entire military operation with the express purpose of murdering civilians at a music festival.

          And you’re saying that’s the changed version?

            Have you ever lived under a terrorist regime? When did Palestinians last vote and what is/where the demographics of the population vs eligible voters? What kind of democracy do they have, one like North Korea or maybe they have a government like the US? What’s the name of the president of Palestine? How many generals do they have? Do children deserve to be murdered because of how their parents voted?

      Zionism became a thing when antisemitism was really bad.

      Israel became a thing when antisemitism went over itself and even casual antisemites looked in horror at what Nazis had done.

      The Palestinian problem today is nested within centuries of the problem of antisemitism, coiling around and biting itself in the tail.

        Anti-Zionism Opposition to Jewish ethnonationalism

        Anti-Zionism is opposition to Zionism. Although anti-Zionism is a heterogeneous phenomenon, all its proponents agree that the creation of the modern State of Israel, and the movement to create a sovereign Jewish state in the region of Palestine – the biblical Land of Israel – was flawed or unjust in some way.
