    Define zionism

    Do I think Israel has a right to exist? Yeah

    Do I think it has the right to enact imperialism? No

      I don’t think genocide denialism is based. Shh tho… we should watch out what we say, the mod of this comm is very “strict” and could ban us for “”OfF ThE tOpic diScuSSion””. Don’t worry, I’m sure you didn’t do it on purpose to get me banned.

      Anyway according to the wikipedia definition:

      Zionism is an ethnocultural nationalist movement that emerged in late 19th-century Europe to establish and support a Jewish homeland through the colonization of Palestine.

      So you support colonial ethno-nationalism, that sounds bad… maybe you are watching too much BBC? :)

        Just because I think Israel has the right to exist doesn’t mean I have to agree with its method of doing so.

        I’m also one of the least strict mods. If you break the rules, you only get a temp ban.

          I thought only people have rights, not countries… Mmm can you point me to the international law where it says the countries have a right to exist?

          So, you support a colonial ethno-nationalist country committing genocide on the base of a non-existing law.

          “I support serial killers, I just I don’t agree with their nasty “killing” policy duh!”

          And you are the only mod of this community documenting hate speech? I’m confused goat…
