The parallels between Fascism/Nazism and 🇮🇱 Zionism are indisputable @AntiOutsideAktion but not really relevant. Zionist hasbara introduces complications as distraction.

For example; arguing about, who was "there" "first", then introducing ancient mythology (which actually tends to disprove their arguments).

@Tangentism
It was Ilan Pappé, I think, who quipped:
"Zionists don't believe in God, but they'll all tell you that God gave them Israel."
🇮🇱 Zionists are as Jewish as is convenient at any moment.
@GarrulousBrevity

I think you'll find that all of the "original Zionists" were Christian @GarrulousBrevity
What we now call "Zionism" grew after the Protestant Reformation, and is rooted in 17th-century English Puritanism.

It had two significant streams:

1. the return of Jews to Palestine (basically, a way to rid Europe of its Jews - a form of antisemitism, a couple of centuries before that term was coined);
2. the second coming of Jesus (Jews who want to survive don't remain Jewish).

At the time, Jewish communities weren't impressed. In the 19th century, Herzl and his friends exploited the movement to their own ends.

@TruthSandwich is a well-known troll. It proved so obnoxious that no other Mastodon instance would put up with it. It had to start its own instance. The fact that it could do that implies financial (and probably political) backing. I've blocked that domain, so I can't see what you're responding to.

You are Hasbara without end @Varyk

Such depth of dishonesty.

Blocking now.

TheBlower is an Australian mastodon instance @Cataphract
Mastodon and Lemmy are both parts of the Fediverse (using the ActivityPub protocol), so they communicate. Integration is pretty horrible, but improving.

Strings beginning with @ are mastodon addresses (or lemmy addresses translated by a mastodon interface). Mastodon copies across addresses and can autocomplete additional ones.

On mastodon, you can follow hashtags, so they play a substantial role. On the desktop, it's fairly easy to copy/paste. Most mobile app's are terrible, so hashtags tend to be neglected.

"if you don’t understand the comments"
@Varyk
You demand that I provide evidence for things that I didn't say. That might seem tactically clever, but is it honest?

I ask for evidence to support things that you did say and you can only repeat your assertions. Is repetition evidence?

"near the end of the ottoman empire there was a very brief period where there was some coexistence" @Lets_Eat_Grandma

For centuries, Muslims, Christians and Jews shared Palestine. How "peaceful" that was is debatable. That Palestinians of all creeds had homes on those lands is beyond dispute.

Then, the Zionists started arriving. They wanted to be the Master Race of the region. That's the problem.

The US is faced with a choice of evils. Harris or Trump. The primitive US system will lead to one or the other occupying the Oval Office.

Having the right to vote makes you responsible for the outcome of the election. If you don't vote, then you're still responsible. If you vote for someone who can't win, then you're still responsible. There is no escape.
