(Also, conflating Zionists – who may or may not be Jewish but very much are pro settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and genocide – with Jews is, itself, antisemitic. Finally, please report and block @froth@mstdn.social – the latest account of the ban evading anonymous hasbara troll that replies to posts with Zionist memes before blocking the original poster.)
for those who might be confused here: my mum is an enthusiastic #Zionist. Donates money, eats and repeats the propaganda.
She hasn’t the slightest Jewish connection as far as she knows. But she’s a fundamentalist RC who’s been got at by American Christian Zionists.
She repeats all the lies about ‘they were there first’ (“they” weren’t) etc also, no thinking what that might mean with regard to ‘settlement’. All discussion of Palestinians meets ‘what about Hamas?’
This is not recent (you may well know it already) but Haaretz journalist Gideon Levi summarises it very well.
1. Many (not all) Israeli's see themselves as the Chosen people, so they can do whatever they want, and (2) they see themselves as victims. Add to this (3) systematic dehumanization of Palestinians.

@burnoutqueen If you can show me where anyone said “Jews are uniquely murderous”, we can have this conversation (and I will condemn whoever said it as that’s an antisemitic statement).
Stating that Israel is a settler-colonial apartheid state that is commiting genocide, however, is something else entirely: it is the truth.

if you're offended by that statement, then you're either ignorant or in denial, and a genocide denier.
