        Using the google algorithm, which by design includes related results, is probably the worst way to “prove” anything.

        Exactly: As your Google search result shows, the state of Israel putting the star of David on their flag was a brilliant propaganda move, much to the detriment of non-Zionist and ant-Zionist Jews. Zionists work very hard to have us conflate anti-Zionism with anti-semitism.

        This is the result explicit, aggressive and longstanding propaganda by the State of Israel and its foreign agents like AIPAC.

        They want there to be no conceptual space between the State of Israel, the Jewish religion, and the Jewish people around the world, so they can turn any criticism of Israel into antisemitism and therefore a hate crime.

    Quite a few downvotes from Germans, even more than I expected. A lot of Germans are confidently incorrect about Zionism, Zionists, and the settler-colonial state of Israel.

      Losurdo has a few good chapters specifically about a lot of the modern german ideological support for zionism in his book War and Revolution.

      It’s a really complicated subject, dealing with the historical guilt from the judeocide, and supporting Israel being an easy and surface-level way to alleviate that guilt.

        No doubt reinforced by enormous amounts of hasbara.

    Do you hate Netanjahu and the Israeli people that protest against him equally?

        The enemy of my enemy, is my enemy’s enemy, nothing more nothing less.

        Another enemy might serve as a temporary distraction but not much is going to stop Israel (the govt and country) from trying to continue what they started before the 1900s, the mass expulsion or eradication of the native population of a country they had no right to. They might have tried to slowly immigrate there over generations but that would not satisfy the Zionists that wanted to take minority ethnic control of a majority Muslim land.

          Well… “They’re all” is kinda rhetorical shorthand, but the vast, vast majority of Israeli citizens are colonizers definitionally, just like how “all” north Americans are colonizers (obviously except indigenous people). The difference is that the USA/Canadian settler colonial projects have already “”“succeeded”“”.
