        Using the google algorithm, which by design includes related results, is probably the worst way to “prove” anything.

        This is the result explicit, aggressive and longstanding propaganda by the State of Israel and its foreign agents like AIPAC.

        They want there to be no conceptual space between the State of Israel, the Jewish religion, and the Jewish people around the world, so they can turn any criticism of Israel into antisemitism and therefore a hate crime.

        Exactly: As your Google search result shows, the state of Israel putting the star of David on their flag was a brilliant propaganda move, much to the detriment of non-Zionist and ant-Zionist Jews. Zionists work very hard to have us conflate anti-Zionism with anti-semitism.

    Quite a few downvotes from Germans, even more than I expected. A lot of Germans are confidently incorrect about Zionism, Zionists, and the settler-colonial state of Israel.

      Losurdo has a few good chapters specifically about a lot of the modern german ideological support for zionism in his book War and Revolution.

      It’s a really complicated subject, dealing with the historical guilt from the judeocide, and supporting Israel being an easy and surface-level way to alleviate that guilt.

        No doubt reinforced by enormous amounts of hasbara.

    the fsck is this

    why

    even if you refer to government policies (the ones in israel do indeed suck (source: an israeli friend)) this could be very easily interpreted as racism and antisemitism and a “jewz sux” by anyone

    ill assume its a critique to the government and not nazi propaganda but seriously it really looks like nazi stuff

    please refrain from posting this kinda memes thank u very much for reading (if you didnt read then fsck off and do it)

    edit: judging by your previous posts, its safe to assume that youre just criticizing the fact israel is a literal apartheid and not insulting judaism, but there can still be confusion, so better to clarify more next time please

    (already said my source on the government stuff btw)

      As an Israeli who is losing his mind over what is happening and is learning about the less positive side of Zionism, I feel the same. In essence, we have a battle between two extreme groups, one more civil and normal-looking in terms of outer appearance than the other.

      Considering the vast majority who are protesting against him are doing it for reasons other than seeing Palestinians as people deserving of equal rights. Yes, for most of them.

      They’re all colonizers, they’re just arguing over the best way to colonize. The enemy of my enemy is a useful ally, not a friend.

        The enemy of my enemy, is my enemy’s enemy, nothing more nothing less.

        Another enemy might serve as a temporary distraction but not much is going to stop Israel (the govt and country) from trying to continue what they started before the 1900s, the mass expulsion or eradication of the native population of a country they had no right to. They might have tried to slowly immigrate there over generations but that would not satisfy the Zionists that wanted to take minority ethnic control of a majority Muslim land.

          Well… “They’re all” is kinda rhetorical shorthand, but the vast, vast majority of Israeli citizens are colonizers definitionally, just like how “all” north Americans are colonizers (obviously except indigenous people). The difference is that the USA/Canadian settler colonial projects have already “”“succeeded”“”.

      nerd protest for the sake of conducting the genocide more effectively is definitely enough reason to cut settlers some slack!
