  • Can you articulate the difference?

    Israel doesn’t represent all jews.

    Do you know of any “Jewish colonists” that don’t represent Israel? Are there other Jewish nation-states stealing land right now?

    Why not call them “Israeli” colonists, then? Conflating zionism and judaism isn’t only intellectually dishonest: it muddies the water between jews who oppose zionism and those in favour of it.

    The settlers not trying convert the people to judaism. But rather: they’re trying to conquer the land for the Israeli state.

    but unless you can point to another type of Jewish colonist besides those that operate out of Israel, I think you should pipe down.

    What kind of sense does that make? It’s not as if you could take some random jew from New York/Paris/Stockholm, send them into the West Bank and then they’ll start colonizing automatically, because they’re circumsized.

    If youre still not getting it

    Please adjust your fucking tone, if you’re already inserting yourself into a conversation.

    That’s what makes the person bad. Describing a colonist as Jewish, Christian, or Muslim is an adjective affecting the subject. It’s not antisemitic to talk about colonists and which religions they belong to.

    You talk as if the concept of “framing” is new to you. Everyone knows that Israel claims to be “the jewish state”. Why insist on calling out jews?
