All bigotry is bad. Islamic extremists trying to eliminate Jews are bad, Jewish extremists hellbent on eliminating Arabs/muslims are bad. All humans are equal. No to apartheid and genocide.

I don't know why you are downvoted for saying "bigotry is bad"

however you make a mistake when you call zionism apartheid or genocide. there are religious extremists who use this word like it's some sort of "lebensraum" but that's just a specific type of zionism. source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_Zionism

actually zionism just an idea that jews can have a country where their ancestors lived. everybody in the world wants the same thing but no one needed to invent a term because most people already have a country where their ancestors lived. there's a metric ton of christian and muslim countries around if you look.

  • > actually zionism just an idea that jews can have a country where their ancestors lived.

    If Zionism means that Jews are entitled to their ancestral lands at the expense of the people that have been living on those lands for thousands of years, then that is a perverse idea.

    No one, regardless of your race/religion/ethnicity has the right to displace a group of people. If Zionism means apartheid and genocide of the Palestinians, then I am against zionism.

    • You clearly didn't read the article or my comment, because there is a definition of zionism and different types are listed. Lots of people who support the idea of Jews having a country also don't support the idea of oppressing other people in the area

      Closing your ears and shouting is not a way to have a productive argument but judging by your comments here you are not interested in that.
