I'm a Zionist: exposing myself thread
hello. I'm pepper, I'm Jewish, and I'm a Zionist. zionism, by definition, is Jews' right to self determine in their homeland, Israel. zion, which is in the word zionism, is one of the 7 ancient Hebrew names of Jerusalem. +

why do ppl think it's an insult? bc in the last 100 yrs, Zionism means supporting jews' right to decolonize the lands of Judah from the Brits and eventually support the Jewish state of Israel established on them. a reality with which many ppl have a hard time living with. +
now, I will not go down the details of the long israeli - palestinian conflict history. that's why I will put a video down below. it's 5 minutes long, watch it. it sums up my point of view, as an Israeli, on the conflict+
on the other hand, I will now quit being silent about what I, and my Jewish army fellows, have had and still have to go through in this fandom. I will also explain why attacking me- even if you think I'm completely wrong- is low, and actually useless. the tea is f*cking hot +
first of all: I'm a citizen. I do not represent my government's actions. I'm a 22 y/o girl, you attacking me is basically you allowing yourself to violent me just bc of circumstances of a 70 yrs conflict, a conflict that was 50 yrs old when I was born. unreasonable h8 count: #1 +
2. being a zionist doesn't mean I'm against Palestinians. it simply means i support my right to live in the Jewish state of Israel. I'm not against the palestinians, but against Hamas and the Muslim jihad, terror organizations. h8 count: #2 +
3. I'm talking to you rn. you that's depriving my right to live. I hate to break it to you, you're not the freedom fighter you think you are, you're a tiny internet bully who's using their tiny 2 non existent knowledge on my own situation, to spread h8. and you, stan Twitter+
that's allowing it, and even applauding it, is evenly accused. hate count: #3. ke-ching! +
lastly, I would like to help y'all notice that me, and the state of Israel, are still here. there has been several wars, terror attacks, rockets shootings, and pretty much a lot of mess. but we're still here. that means a single screenshot from my fav's vlive+
won't help the palestinians, and cyber bullying me will unlikely either. maybe try new methods, fellas. and leave b7s out of it this time +
I will end with a quote from my favorite fictional human being:
"if nobody hates you, you're doing something wrong"
(Dr. Gregory House) +

& 2 my moots that tried 2 stand up 4 me. I'm sorry y'all had 2. I never intended any of u 2 go through what I had, and I wish I could prevent it. tnk u for proving me that even if we don't agree on certain things, respect is still alive. long live the mute button! see you soon<3
also thank you to everyone that sent me support and love through dms. i'm sorry i can't reply yet, i still need to stay out of twt. but i love y'all and i miss you. stay safe!
