Wait do you reply to everyone using the term Zionist with that? Because that's some random tangent if I've ever seen one, triggered by a single word. Good derailing tactic though, you completely changed the subject.
I'm not even sure what your point is. Are you confused about what Zionism is? Because that's funny for a Zionist to be confused about. It means you support the existence of a Jewish-supremacist state, and it's a 19th century nationalist idea from Europe. So whatever you're on about is irrelevant. I'm calling you a Zionist, since you clearly support Israel or you wouldn't be taking the time to spread incorrect bullshit in defense of the IDF here.
Maybe you're confused about my comment. Let me explain. You said:
Egypt controls Egypt's side of the border. Israel controls the Gaza side, what with them occupying it. Since that should be pretty obvious, it sounds like you think Egypt, in order to be sovereign, needs to control both sides the border, i.e. invade Gaza.
Which is funny to me, because that obviously defeats the whole purpose of a border. So I'm imaging you as a person who thinks the whole point of a border is that both sides should be controlled by the same state, since that's how Israel does it, and you being a Zionist, you think that's the normal way a border works. So "Zionist logic". This is a funny thought, a person so brainwashed they don't understand that borders are not like a checkpoint between Israel and the West Bank. There, you made me explain the joke.
I'm sorry, I was attempting to make a larger point about the conflict in general. There's this idea that Zionism is a homogeneous idea or that the Jewish people are a singular group of people when in fact they have more divisions within their own culture than anyone else. It's really easy to vilify a caricature or incomplete image of a race or ethnicity which is what I've seen in these discussions up to this point.
