Rachel Corrie, 1979-2003 (she died 22 years ago today)
Rachel, an American #peace #activist, was killed when Israeli soldiers crushed her with a #bulldozer
She was trying to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian family's home in #Rafah by Israeli occupation forces, before they left Gaza and turned it into a giant concentration camp.

Of course Zionists being the classy and decent people they are celebrate her death by making pancakes.
Imagine being the kind of mind that downvotes this comment. Like why are they downvoting? "I disagree with this verifiable fact"? "I refuse to believe this is true"? "Maybe if I downvote this people will question the validity of this fact"?
the term “zionist” is essentially a racial slur… zionism is just the movement for a jewish homeland, but many many zionists are against that being established in Israel….
and many Israeli’s aren’t zionists….
even Bob Marley used to sing about zion… there was a movement to establish that in Ethiopia…
tl;dr it’s not the Zionists, it’s not the Jews… it’s Israelis but even a lot of them are against the whole fascist murdering thing….
…
so, whenever someone writes about “those damned Zionists” they’re taking a legitimate criticism and turning it into a racist one….

You're talking about a society that had a pro-rape January 6th: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/israel-prison-idf-soldiers-arrest-palestine-rape-b2587997.html
sounds like a very small selection sample, and people in israel might not want to be seen speaking against the war….
Gee I wonder why.
because Netanyahu is a fascist
What about other Israeli prime ministers?
i can’t give you a rundown of exactly how evil each prime minister of israel has been… but Bibi has been particularly extreme, by israeli standards
