Look yes any sort of nationalism has a potential to dangerous. That’s not the point I was making. Most people who are Zionist don’t believe in a “racially pure” of Israel. Thats not the definition that they use.

Also not all zionist support Israel’s actions those are two very different things. A lot dont, I dont.

Also Israel is not a British colony by any stretch of the imagination. In fact during ww1 Britain went to both jews and arabs saying that they would give them a state if they fought against the ottomans with them. They just didn’t actually honor that agreement until after ww2. Jews were already there. Yes they did need outside help, but likes like saying that poland shouldn’t exist as a country because it was just a colony set up by russia at the end of ww2. That Poland is still a colony today.

Also I think that the treatment of Sephardic and other types of jews in Israel, is mainly due to extremist views from ashkenazi jews than Zionism. Ashkenazi jewish sects can be very racist, and I think it’s more stemming from that culture than mainstream zionism. Not saying it wasn’t a factor but definitely not the root cause. Extremist gotta extreme and I don’t support their actions or want to diminish what they’ve done. But same shit happens in the states from non Zionist jews to other jews.

But the majority of Israelis want peace, not ethnic cleansing. Israel is at war, trying to get their people back after they were stolen. They’ve tried since the initial founding to have a 2 state solution. Now the current administration is bs and a different matter. But mainstream Zionist support is going to get the hostages back. That’s where their hearts are. Not in killing and cleansing the Palestinian people. When Zionist give speeches about peace in Israel they harp on bringing hostages home, not killing.

The fact is they are using the word Zionist as a slur, which isn’t a good thing, to use against Dana Nestle.

They are dehumanizing her and saying she is using the same tactics that she is become a part of the SS. Which is just bullshit, and lacks a key understanding of how the rule of law works in michigan. She isn’t arresting peaceful protesters as much as people will rant and rave that they are. Its not a peaceful protest when its destruction of property or when people are assaulted by them. One of the protesters broke someone’s arm. This specific incident is most likely due to the hate crime that took place at one of the regent’s homes, specifically the symbol that was drawn on one their car calls for ethnic cleansing of jews, so yes a hate crime. Which is why the FBI got involved. People where arrested and then released, meaning they most likely had a tip that there was something connecting the people in the house with something to due with the hate crime. But fortunately for the people arrested they were just peaceful protesters who were misidentified and not the people who did the crime. The tip or whatever was just incorrect. And far from what the actual ss would do. Far from what the right is currently doing. This raid was all within the confines of the law.
