I never understood comments like ‘antizionism is not always antisemitism, but 99% of the examples I’ve seen recently very clearly are.’ In my experience, right‐wing anti‐Zionists are very much the exception to the rule, and even then Zionist organizations like the ADL don’t give a toss about them.

The existence of a Jewish state is an existential requirement of the Jewish people. The Holocaust was not just about the murder of six million Jews. Very few people helped us and many countries wouldn’t accept our refugees. Now, we’ll always have a place to flee to if things turn bad. Israel is much more than just our safety net, but it is also that. [+211]

Ahistorical nonsense. The neocolony denied any safe haven to the thousands of Jews that Argentinian neofascists were massacring and terrorizing, and the pre‐1940s settlers did not want millions of Jews, most of whom they considered weaklings, into their neocolony.

More obviously, it has never been clearer than now that the neocolony, which has been at war with its neighbours almost constantly since 1948, is the most dangerous place to be Jewish. That is why hundreds of thousands of Jews have quit it since 2023.

What these dullards are doing is restating the classic Zionist argument with more subtlety: antisemitism is eternal and combatting it is useless, so the best thing that Jews can do is completely separate themselves from us gentiles.

Zionism is ethnonationalism. It is settler‐colonialism. It destroys Jewish heritage. It is the greatest obstacle to Jewish self‐determination. Those are what make it worse than generic forms of nationalism.
