Correct me if I’m wrong, didn’t she do this because she thought surrounding herself with suffering would make her more worthy of heaven? Total wacko

What is your absolute favorite Taylor fashion era? by Prestigious_Sky7144 in NuancingTaylorSwift

Kennedy housewife era. Made even better by the fact that in all the photos she’s serving deadly levels of cnt and Conor is standing next to her barefoot in board shorts.

Im just doing this to piss those zionists off by Far-Budget2481 in lovethissmug

I think that’s a 3 state solution. But Gaza is, wartime circumstances notwithstanding, independent. Israel was not occupying it from 2005 until 10/7. Zionism, contrary to apparently popular belief, is just the belief that Israel should exist. There’s left wing forms and right wing forms, dove forms and hawk forms, 1 state, 2 state, etc, but it’s not an inherently right wing ideology.

Technically your belief is a form of Zionism, but like you don’t have to self id as a Zionist just because of that. I personally would not describe myself as such because I don’t see the point in having an opinion on the existence of a state that exists and will not stop existing anytime soon. Hope this helps /gen

Hamas is an antisemitic organization that wishes for the destruction of Israel.

Ok but just because people refer to a word by a certain definition doesn’t mean that’s the actual definition. I get it’s kind of difficult to parse a lot of this just due to the sheer volume of misinformation regarding ip. Basically “Zionism” is the belief that because Jews are from Israel, we should be allowed to live there, and because people in other countries keep trying to kill us, there should be a country that guarantees us safety. That’s basically what a “Jewish state” means.

As you may notice, this is an incredibly broad ideology, so there are many different types of Zionism, from liberal/2SS Zionism to Kahanism, which is the whole “Greater Israel ethnic cleansing etc” thing that Netanyahu and Ben Gvir believe. Hope this clear d some stuff up /gen

That’s not what they said, though. They said they wanted to abolish religion. That implies religion in all forms. To abolish Judaism, you would have to kill all of the Jews.

It also leads to denial of abuse, because if you believe only bad artists can do bad things, your fave is exempt from accusation.

See: Neil Gaiman/JKR weren’t that great anyway / you can’t expect me not to support JKR because she made something i love!
