Middle East Conflict

They are certainly hated for being Zionists as can be seen from the language being used.

From that I’d say yes, they are hated for being Jewish.

Zionist has become a slur on here, a dirty word I’m afraid.

Zionist isn't the same as Jewish.
There are many Jewish people who are not Zionists and many Zionists who are not Jewish.
Conflating the two is downright dishonest and cynical.

I did wonder whether the "Jews will not replace us" Proud Boys were also pro-Israel.

So I googled, but was surprised this popped up...

Israel Let Proud Boys Founder In, But Says No to Reps. Omar, Tlaib

Citing pressure from President Donald Trump, Israel has banned U.S. Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, in part for their support of a boycott movement meant to support Palestinians.

This Zionism has been exposed for what it truly is.

What about the Christian fundamentalist Zionists?

I hate Netanyahu for being a twat, his religion is irrelevant.

Yes but he would label you anti semitic rather than anti twatic.

The Israelis have done a good job of conflating the two to the point where people are afraid to criticise Israel and Zionism for being the fascists racists they are for fear of being labelled anti semitic.
This has to be brought out into the open and smashed.

You've got to love these European extreme right wingers, they hate Jews but love Israel.
If that doesn't tell you everything you need to know...

Not much different to the right wing evangelicals in America then.

The end is nigh, is what they want and believe.

And not a poppy between them. It's almost as if they're just attention seeking twats looking for trouble.

A fair question. Is Zionism Democratic?
Or probably more accurate, is all Zionism Democratic.?

Is a movement avowedly seeking a home for one race necessarily racist? Given the persecution many Jews faced in the late 19th century in Europe, it was more about a place of safety. Obviously attitudes to Arabs (and others) would now be considered racist.

I wouldn't have thought many Zionists were fascist by most definitions (most were far more to the left). Even those who wanted an alliance with Nazi Germany in WW2 were motivated by distrust of the British.
