Will you stop using it now that you know the origins of the word? You can use zionist, whatever, but don’t use zio
Forward is a Zionist propaganda website. They are not a source. These sites write things like “the Palestinians convinced Hitler to throw Jews into the ovens.”
The term “ZioNazi” was already used in the 90s. Would you prefer that one?
I don’t want a user in my community who is adamant about using the exact same term that David Duke uses and wishes to argue about its usage. And the whole handwaving David Duke and the KKK is pretty alarming too. You can use zionist or zionazi or whatever, but your insistence on using specifically “zio,” even after showing evidence of its terminology, is not a good look.
If we can’t use “degenerate,” we certainly cannot allow people who use “zio”
