I never understood the argument “Well saying you hate Zionist is bad because most Jews are Zionist” If during the 1940’s most Germans self identify as Nazis I’d still hate Nazis. Although most Zionist aren’t even Jewish they’re Evangelic Christians

Fr the population of Israel is about 9M and there’s about the same number of Jews in the US even of all of them were hardcore zionists that’s still a small number compared to then number of Zionist Christians in the US

People can’t differentiate between zionists and Jews and it feels like they do so to make the conversation around Zionism harder for us by making us look racist

It’s actually to push you to engage with the fact that the Jewish people have a unique history and are historically uniquely vulnerable to genocide and many believe they require a state where they are an ethnic majority in order to be safe, which was the entire reason for Zionism becoming popular in the early 20th century in the first place. We can talk about how to fix Israel, but you will lose most Jews if your goal is destroying Israel as a political entity, and that goal is racist.
