Some American Zionists definitely are are; most aren’t.
Zionist Jews don’t care about Jewish lives all that much more than Zionist gentiles do. They care about the Zionist project that endangers all Jews. The Hannibal Doctrine and the Samson Option are the most blatant & gruesome examples.
In fact, Zionists Jews need the Jewish diaspora to be in danger—or at least be perceived so—in order to justify their settler-colonial project.
They’re extremists. The same way Muslims around the world say terrorist groups like the Taliban are not actual Muslims. Jews around the world can say Zionists aren’t Jews. There’s a lot of good Jewish people around the world who don’t believe in any of that nonsense. I don’t think it’s fair to them to be lumped in with these terrorists.
It obviously isn’t, but Jewish Zionists want them to be lumped in. Putting the Star of David on the Israeli flag was a brilliant propaganda move.
It definitely was. I’m just choosing to not buy into it. The non-Zionist Jews around the world deserve better than to be associated with them.
And the anti-Zionist Jews who are out protesting with us deserve as much or more, because they’re really sticking their necks out.
They definitely do. It’s for their sake and all the other Jews that I choose not to consider Zionists as Jews.
I don’t think no true Scotsman is a good position to take. I can’t say that no real Jew would be a Zionist any more than I can say no real German would be a Nazi. It creates space for an “it can’t happen here” fantasy, which is dangerous.
I’m not seeing it that way. The no true Scotsman fallacy is more if you create an arbitrary set of rules to differentiate 2 groups that should be the same. These Zionists are going hard against the teaching of Moses and the Jewish faith in general. It’s pretty clear they are not actual Jews.
Oh. People aren’t going to know that by Jew you mean believer in Judaism unless you qualify it. Most Jews aren’t even religious.
