Three reports to the effect of hate speech so far.

Some people can’t distinguish a people from a state. A genocidal apartheid settler-colonial state, at that.

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.

Almost as if they're overcompensating for something. 🤔

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)
