While I’m pro-Palestine, there’s something icky to me about how some people use the word “Zionist.” I feel like *some* use it as an excuse to say some horrifically antisemitic shit while retaining a perceived sense of altruism.

Nah its become. Very common. Its just the workaround to not say “jew”. Dont get me wrong violent zionists exist and are very bad but like. Not every zionist supports the current actions of israel and also it gets used for jewish people that arent even zionists. Its very “republicans saying r*pists instead of lgbt” coded tbh

Just as a general rule beware of any group that labels an entire demographic as something horrifically horrible and substitutes it so it becomes impossible to question. Heres an example - no one likes r*pists - label all lgbt people as r*pists - no one likes lgbt people (heavily associated with r*pists) - say we should kill all r*pists (this now means slaughter all lgbt people) Its real fuckin bad and common

100%. This is also why dumb people on the right often accuse people of pedophilia. Pedophiles are universally the most hated demographic, so many republicans are quick to label their opposition as such.

You can visit any Reddit forum and see examples. I read a comment on TikTok just now that said, “Zionists are inherently greedy, it’s how they’re raised.”
