Another part of the problem is when the criticizers forget that Zionism got a huge boost after pogroms on Jewish communities across Europe.
So, by criticising Zionism in a middle of a self defense operation in Gaza (as they see it), you look like you don't know its roots and look like they ignoring the Jewish right for self defense.
- duped 5y agoNo one is forgetting the Holocaust or historic pogroms on Jews in Europe when they criticize Israeli military actions or forced displacement.
- vxNsr 5y agoSpeaking with these people on clubhouse recently, I can say they absolutely believe 1) Hitler was right, but (contradictorily) 2) The Holocaust/Progroms were exaggerated, and finally 3) there was never any instances of strife in the region before the forming of the state (and if there was it was always the Irgun and nobody else ever). I’m not saying all people who criticize Israel believe the above but many of the people in “The Balance” room who criticized Israel appeared to.

Yes, this is an excellent example of exactly that sort of blurring that GP was talking about, thanks.
