Calling an internationally recognized state that has given the world so many amazing people and technologies “the Zionist Experiment” is precisely the demonization that you speak of
- selimthegrim 3y agoThis is ridiculous speech policing. If some Israeli calls it that, how would you react? It’s not disparaging like “Zionist entity”
- vladgur 3y agoI do not have power to police speech on hacker news, I only have an ability to critique what I found to be a very intentionally demeaning term for a Israel. I dont think that "Zionist entity" sounds worse than "Zionist Experiment" TBH. Ask yourself, why not simply call "Zionist Entity" or "Zionist Experiment" Israel? Its simple - the word "Zionist" has been hijacked by anti-Israel movement to mean "Jewish". To the rest of us, modern-day Zionism means "Israel has the right to exist"
