    Let’s hope so. Terrorists always fail while freedom fighters always succeed. That’s because history is written by Victors and not by terrorists

      I find this statement funny cuz it also implies that the reason why freedom fighters are not terrorists is because they won, and likewise the only reason why terrorists are deemed such is because they lost.

        Looks like people do care though so I guess your point doesn’t really stand now does it?

        Also, that shitgibbon’s name is on the mugs and people already know what the meme is, so that point doesn’t really stand either.

          No, I personally don’t care.I also think it’s kind of a dumb thing to care about. Just as you should learn to separate art from artist, you should also learn to separate dirt bag from meme.

          The dudes wife left him and his career is ruined, IIRC, we won. If you go off Everytime you see the widely popular meme all you’re doing is wearing yourself out with anger because you can’t educate every single person on the Internet and i promise you it will never stop happening.

          Let it go.

            Nah, fuck that guy. We didn’t do shit, that asshole ruined his own career. Nobody made him do shit.

            Also, you clearly do care because you keep arguing about it.

    Originally it wasn’t, it was about finding a home nation for Jews in exodus. However they made it into a nation for Jews only and that’s where things got messy.

        I did read that, I’ts just very overtly biassed. I dislike that this writer made it about Marxism, which it doesn’t really have anything to do with, ideologically. I also object of retoactively using the term fascism for anything dating before Benito Mussolini, as he kind of coined the term. Any use of the term before that is couterfactual. Ethno Nationalism is a more proper term.

        The original Judenstaat of Herzl never spoke of a pure Judish state where Palestinians were to be expunged from. Thats quite recent.

        Zionism was never a anti-marxist thing, just the pogroms of the post revolutionary Russia (which by some -misguidedly- is thought of as a Marxist state) were a catalist.

      This matches up with 12 year old me thinking if we turn the entire region into the largest parking lot, it would be time well spent.

      Don’t be 12 year old me (an idiot). Be better than that.

      Most of the worlds religions unironically need it to be, and since we STILL can’t say “maybe religious dogma shouldn’t run governments,” here we are.

    Racism is not cool, dude. you can do this. you can understand for yourself why saying all muslims are terrorists or all zionists are terrorists is just a flat out stupid thing to say, the same way saying all christians are fucking retarded is probably not true either despite the bulk of the evidence being in one direction. I’m rooting for you m8, you’ll get there eventually, in the mean time try to stop being a professional cunt. you’re doing the same religulous thing as them, running your mouth like this

    Israel’s implementation of zionism is as far removed from the ideal as America’s implementation of democracy. Neither utopia worked out the way it might have if the humans in it were better people.

      Zionism is a religious and political movement to reclaim Palestine for the Israeli people and views that land as inherently belonging to Jewish people because God said so.

      That belief alone is not enough to call it a genocidal ideology. However, because Zionists overwhelmingly “reclaim” the land by terrorizing the current inhabitants, it’s not that much of a stretch.

      It is also inherently nationalistic and Zionists are inherently colonizers. It’s not racist to say that because it’s an ideology, and a harmful one.

      Just like I’d call all Westboro Baptists bigots. And I’d call any far-right group fascists. The Zionist ideology is the exact same

      Zionism is not a race, bro.

      But nice try at the “centrist but not really, I’m still calling you antisemitic for disagreeing with genocide” take.

        didn’t say it was, didn’t say the retarded thing you said either, didn’t call the man antisemitic, just called him out for parroting a nutjob’s anticommunist website. He linked it himself
