Zionism is an ideological movement

Jewish is a religion

They are not the same thing. Like what are we doing here capitulating to Zionist pressure.

I was also very frustrated. Zionism isn’t a group of people it’s a descriptive behavior

Technically any religion can have zionists when they believe they are soldiers of thier god and that god is with them

I grew up in a Christian house that to be a Zionist was the goal

Weird choice twitch

The only people responsible for conflating Judaism with Zionism are antisemites. When I’ve had “death to the Jews” and “death to all Zios” at the same rally, it’s not an “us” problem.

He's not jews or at most racist against European and Arabic jews

Speak for yourself, jews were hunted based on their origin, not religion. Not all jews are white cosplayers

Judaism is much more than a religion. It shows up in our DNA. As a Jewish man you should know that.

Zionism can be called an ideological movement, but it's an ancient one that is ingrained within Judaism. Our holidays and prayers revolve around Eretz Israel. As a Jewish man, it is infuriating to me when people deny our history and erase our identity, pretending that Israel isn't important to us.

It is because certain idiots have been conflating the two to such an extent that they have had to do that otherwise they could get a serious issue.

But how else will they silence the masses speaking out against Israel?

girbeagly.bsky.social•108 days ago

Extremely annoying you and your community need to keep explaining this difference. So sorry, dude

I guess the ADL is legally threatening anyone using the word, it's probably what happened to https://dropout.tv when they were forced to delete posts where they took a stance against Zionism. Surprising it's effective against twitch too (or maybe they're just idiots and I'm giving them too much credit)

Whelp - they can't do shit about me, and everyone, just calling the IOF what they are: fascists.
It is paltry and pathetic to see the status quo get this so wrong.

Preach!

“Next year in Jerusalem” means nothing then?

mssummerblossom.bsky.social•107 days ago

It is being used by many pro-Hamas individuals interchangeably.

Which makes sense, because Hamas uses it this way too.

The worst part is that the people that have been screeching about this don’t actually care about anti-semitism at all.

leslieyoung.bsky.social•106 days ago

Anti-Zionism is antisemitism.
If you’re a Jew, rethink this.

joshuaselig.bsky.social•106 days ago

It isn't unfortunately, because a number of those who consider themselves anti-zionist have a tendency when trying to criticise Israel end up using outdated Jewish tropes.

It is perfectly reasonable to criticise Israel just not when you use antisemitic tropes to do so.

leslieyoung.bsky.social•106 days ago

You can criticize but believe that Israel has an inherent right to exist.

joshuaselig.bsky.social•106 days ago

I think that is basically what I said?
