About most Jews being Zionists, I don’t know why they threw a fit over that. That’s a factual statement, most Jews ARE Zionists. I mean, almost half of all Jews globally live in the settler project.
That shouldn’t make anyone reconsider their anti-zionist stance, because genocide, ethnostates, fascism, and colonialism don’t magically become better bc it’s not white supremacy flavored. To me, I accept that most Jews are Zionists. That’s not going to make me support killing babies and blocking aid, bc I don’t care what most Jews think. If something is wrong, it’s wrong no matter the race.
This is why people keep getting called anti-Semitic, they’re banking on you caring that you’re going against the wishes of a majority of Jews which makes you (in their eyes) an anti-semite. If you don’t care and tell them “no matter the race genocide is wrong” they’ll learn to use another argument. Don’t budge, don’t let them use their Jewishness (or someone else’s) as a bludgeon against your values.
Unironically being concerned with being called an anti-semite will only associate Zionism with Judaism/Jewishness. That’s when actual anti-Semitism starts to rise. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen the take that isntrael controls America (and not the other way around) across countless social media sites. Whenever you correct them, they bring up AIPAC, they bring up how people can get deported for bigotry* against Jews but not any other race, the various wars & operations in SWANA for isntrael, etc.
They’re drawing horrible conclusions from actual facts, the days of “Jewish cabals are secretly ruling the US illuminati style!!1!” are gone, now they bring up things that are actually happening or have actually happened.
I think they overreacted, that place is stupidly toxic and doesn’t want to call out/ is very uncomfortable with calling out the mistakes that marginalized people can make. I think you should take the ban as a blessing, there’s nothing to go back to except death threats and mods that want to ignore the user base.
*Bigotry here is any criticism against isntrael. They actually do not care about conspiracy theories and lies against Jews. They have no intention to protect Jews and Jewishness outside of isntrael support.
How does this factor in with the 2027 timeline for confrontation in the scs?
I’ve been on the fence on whether or not the US is actually going to commit to the 2027 timeline or if they’ve given up.
Part of me says they won’t try it, it seems like trump is trying to decouple the US from China. It would be stupid to go after China now, plus it seems like trump is taking an isolationist stance on wars and military operations.
