I hope they're next. Baffling people, the few among them that could hypothetically deserve to live someday are deeply confused + useless. Escape Reddit & start posting #different. Kill the Redditor in your mind.

I don't know that adam friedland is a zionist.
Adam is one of the best litmus tests for Zionist anti-semites. He's so strictly and wholeheartedly against Israel and the genocide that you'll get the WASPiest politicians calling him an anti-semite or explaining being Jewish to him. To which he refuses to back down and forces them to dig a hole that reveals who they are.
Not everyone being condemned by Zionists is anti-Zionist, or Tucker Carlson would pass our litmus tests.
I'm saying that Adam is the litmus test, because he is actually a Jewish anti-Zionist. He's able to see through the talking points and when someone tries to hit him with the antisemite trope he brushes it off.
Tucker would not pass our litmus test because he doesn't have a moral stance on Zionism. He's just mad that they're fucking up the optics after like 70 years of getting away with it. His positions are still very pro Israel.
I like how this guy is simultaneously too unimportant to criticize, interviewing Zionist congresspeople, and a living political litmus test.
Differences in rhetoric among settlers mean little to me, or I'd spend my time on the "work" of Ofer Sharif of the Communist Party of pIssrael. What a mensch, right? Throwing a tantrum in the parliament of a country you are fully in support of continuing on its mission, despite your presence in it being purely optional and that mission being genocide, to develop your political career to beautify said mission. Carlson and Sanders have the same position dressed up with different ideology. You do have a Marxist-Leninist position on imperialist ideology, right? If you think supporting the latter is a "moral stance", you are no better than the former. Since none of you can read, note that an article was posted clarifying that Friedland was still campaigning for a Zionist last year. No standards, none at all. No shame.
Is Bernie Sanders a Zionist? Go read my ๐ it's more than the effort in the replies I received calls for. Every Fedi instance has such contradictory beliefs. The CIA internet anthropologist assigned to us must be having a blast. Parasocial & demeaning to the Palestinian people to say condemning their militant defense against genocide isn't Zionism. When people spell this stuff out for you explicitly, what are you ignoring it for? Something to ask yourself, seriously. Why bother?
Glad it makes two of us.
