Zionism is real, it's not a "dog whistle". If you want to support Israel, you should own that position. The human rights violations that Israel has and continues to commit, are going to attract very legitimate criticism and the ideology behind it will be named.
- nozzlegear 1mo agoSure, but that's orthogonal to what I said. It's still used like a dogwhistle.
- slowin 1mo agoI've only ever seen it used in the context that I said, critiquing Zionism.
- nozzlegear 1mo agoThen I'd encourage you to read into the subtext of what's being said by people who bring it up on TikTok, and why it's gotten to the point that people might consider it a dogwhistle at all. I don't think you're so naive that you believe all, or even the majority of discussion of Zionism on TikTok is healthy debate and critique.
- slowin 1mo agoAll I see are people reacting as expected to a genocidal apartheid state (outrage, anger). As you can see from the OP, TikTok is now censoring that as much as they can. Prior to the censorship, TikTok was actually a good place for people to get educated about what Israel was actually doing.
