      Doubling down on genocide denial of still-existing settler-colonialism within America, and calling the genocide in Gaza “muddled” to absolve Canada of its grave sins domestically and abroad. Do some self-crit.

          Yep, more than you do evidently, both Israel and the “Plastelines” as you call Palestinians.

          Israel’s century-long existence is as a settler-colonial apartheid state backed by Nazi Germany, and currently commits genocide to expand territory and project Western power in the area to secure the Petro Dollar. Its existence endanger Jewish diaspora by fostering hatred for itself, a practice intentional to fuel the narrative that it is “the only safe haven for Jews in the world.” Furthermore, Israel is antisemetic towards Yiddish speaking Jews.

                  The IDF is targetting hospitals, water treatment facilities, neighborhoods, intentionally shooting civilians, flattening them with bulldozers, and torturing Palestinians. It isn’t a war against Hamas, but Palestinian existence.

                  Secondly, conflating anti-zionism with antisemitism is antisemetic. The reality of Zionism is settler-colonialism. One of the founding Zionists, Theodore Herzl, stated, and I quote:

                  "It would be an excellent idea to call in respectable, accredited anti-Semites as liquidators of [Jewish] property. To the people they would vouch for the fact that we do not want to bring about the impoverishment of the countries we leave. The anti-Semites will become our most dependable friends, the anti-Semitic countries our allies.”

                  The Zionists would make a deal with the Nazis to help export Jews in Nazi Germany to a new colony of “Israel” and would fuel them in their colonization of Palestine. Furthermore, the Zionists persecuted Yiddish-speaking Jewish people, seeing them as “degenerates” and associating them with “left-wing politics” and “Eastern Europeans.”
