...unless those Jews are antizionist and on the right side of history, that is. I see how you fuckshits treat antizionist Jews. Fucking despicable.

Goyim need to understand that every single jew in the world is my family. Even when I don't like them. Even when I HATE them. No one else is looking out for us so we have to look out for each other and sometimes that means caring about absolute motherfuckers.

Something prompted me to write this but idk what anymore i just found it in my drafts

So... you admit that Israel is a product of British imperialism. Looks like zionists can face reality!

"We don't want two states, we want 1948!"

Are...are you sure?

OK then. Back to 1948 we goooooooo!

[the-pretty-reckless-optimist]

There is still hope. Say it out loud. Palestine will be free. The Palestinian people will celebrate their culture and heritage with each other. We will love and be loved. Do not fall into the trap of despair.

#also why is pinkwashing exclusively zionist property now #like. hasn't that term been used to mainly describe US actions beforeanyway

I'm going to try to "Yes, and" this. Yes, the term pinkwashing is broadly used to criticize rainbow capitalism or the US's two-faced "concern" about queer folks in the east and global south while barely paying lipservice at best to queers at home, and it was coined specifically to criticize Israel's weaponization of queer issues to justify its genocide and colonization of Palestine (despite treating both its own LGBTQ+ population and that of Palestine like absolute shit). I'm wary of how people have decoupled pinkwashing from its anti-zionist origins and intentions. I've known of the term for years now but didn't learn until late 2023 that it was intended to criticize Israel specifically. That's not to say that the US doesn't participate in its own version of pinkwashing, it absolutely does. But yeah, that's why certain segments of this website are trying to make "pinkwashing" off-limits to non-Jews. I see similarities between this and how TERFs say that TERF is a misogynistic slur and therefore no one should be calling them that, even though it's literally just criticizing their ideology.

So, what exactly are they defending themselves from when they confiscate baby formula from doctors trying to enter Gaza? Or shoot at starving Palestinians trying to get flour or sugar? Or empty several machine guns into a little girl trapped inside a car with her dead relatives? Or make 2023 the deadliest year on record for Palestinian children BEFORE OCTOBER 7? Or snipe a woman and her daughter sheltering in a Catholic Church in Gaza that's literally older than the state of Israel itself? Or bomb hospitals that were in no way proven to be hideouts for Hamas? Or when they murder their own people to inflate fatality numbers to justify a literal genocide? Or when they repeatedly commit sexual violence against Palestinians? Like, you literally think rape is self-defense. You are a rape apologist. You're a genocide denialist. You're a genocide apologist. You are no different from a holocaust denier. You are no different from a nazi. You ARE a nazi. A nazi by another name is still a fucking rape apologist scumshit nazi.

Israel isn’t an empire, it’s a nation that’s repeatedly chosen peace over territory.

After every war fought in self-defense, Israel didn’t just win land—it offered it back. From returning the entire Sinai to Egypt, to pulling out of Lebanon and Gaza, Israel has shown it doesn’t seek to conquer—it seeks to coexist.

Land for peace isn’t a slogan. It’s Israel’s track record.

The question is: who else is willing to choose peace?

btw in case it wasn't clear, zionism was antisemitic from its inception because the progenitors of the ideology took the concept of the "jewish question" at face value and considered it a legitimate question that needed to be answered.

an anti-racist worldview dismisses the jewish question, and all other "questions" or "problems" of ethnic existence, entirely.

That's literally what Israel has been doing for decades. This report came out in SEPTEMBER 2023, BEFORE AL-AQSA FLOOD, declaring 2023 the deadliest year on record for Palestinian children in the West Bank. Not to mention, the post proper uses the exact same rhetoric that people use to justify police murders of Black teenagers. We're not fucking idiots.

Zionists will start saying unprompted that killing children is fine and then act surprised when you point out how downright evil that is

[the-pretty-reckless-optimist]

far too often i see potential trans men who "dont want to abandon women" or potential trans women who "dont want to leave women with one less Good Man"

i promise you, there will always be more women and men out there, for every trans man there is a new trans woman, and vice versa

Transition. the world will forever be better with another happy trans person in it, than it ever was with a sad cis one

[the-pretty-reckless-optimist]

The way zionists talk about Palestinian teenagers vs how they talk about IDF soldiers is very reminiscent to me of the way the American media talks about black children who die in police shootings vs how they talk about white college athletes who commit rape. There is nothing new under the sun

This this this!!

Reminded me of this tweet that I just saw today

[the-pretty-reckless-optimist]

Except

"Zionists want to take over the entire middle east" is just kind of looking at Israel's actions since its inception. They keep colonizing Palestinian land and they've also attacked Syria and Lebanon. What the fuck else are we supposed to think?

"Israeli goods not sold here" echoes targeted action against apartheid South Africa. Israel is a state, not a marginalized people. Far from marginalized, in fact, given how much support it gets from the US.

"Israel loves killing Palestinian babies" is just the natural conclusion one comes to when IDF confiscates baby formula from doctors entering Gaza. It's less blood libel and more blood "I'll give you something to cry about".

"Zionists don't belong on the land they live in" is for the most part true, genetically they're more linked to the people from the countries the zionists are from, because, duh, "they need to go back where they came from" I'll grant you is antisemitic, but also "Jews don't belong in the land they live in, they need to go back where they came from" is literally the idea behind zionism. Like that's literally just what zionism is, but like, make it surface-level philosemitic. Straight from the brain of Theodore Herzl.

"Zionists over-exaggerate the holocaust" is definitely antisemitic, but it's also very much a thing where zionist Jews will downplay how other groups were targeted in the holocaust (and interestingly I don't see anyone making calls for the Rroma to have their own state built on the bones of a population already living there).

"Zionists are all colonizing capitalists" is not one I've seen specifically, like make no mistake, all zionists either are colonizers or directly support colonization, but the capitalism thing is not one I've seen directed at zionists. There are, however, plenty of arguments to make against so-called "labor zionism", because if your labor rights movement isn't anti-colonial, and zionism IS inherently colonialist, then it's fucking pointless.

"Zionists think their land was promised to them by God" is absolutely an argument that zionists themselves make, so maybe address the call that's coming from your own house, 'kay? Furthermore, genetic and historical ties? If that's the metric we're going by, then Palestinians belong there more than zionist colonizers do by magnitudes of millions. Palestinians are direct descendants of the Jews from before the time of Jesus. Most of them converted to Christianity or Islam, but they didn't fucking go anywhere. They do not lose their right to exist, their right to live in their ancestral land just because they're no longer Jewish, and they didn't have to commit genocide or ecocide in order to make, actually, maintain their home in the Levant.

When we criticize zionists, we are specifically referring to people who follow a colonialist, genocidal ideology, who believe in state's rights more than people's rights, who claim to be the victims while cheering on the marginalization, mass rape, and genocide of an Indigenous group. Palestinians deserve to exist. Jews deserve to exist. Israel does NOT deserve to exist, and it's time for zionists to get the hell over it.

If what you said will sound antisemitic if you switch the word "Zionist" with "jew" what you said was antisemitic to begin with. It's that simple
