There& #39;s a lot of anti-Israel misinformation going round, partly thanks to @ukblm - so here& #39;s a thread for anti-Zionists. (1/6)
If you believe Israel& #39;s actions make it illegitimate, does the PLO& #39;s refusal to negotiate or accept peace plans, financing of terrorism, terrible human rights record - particularly regarding LGBT people and women - and refusal to hold elections make Palestine illegitimate? (2/6)
If you believe Jews have no claim to Israel, you won& #39;t know that the only independent states there in history were Jewish & Jews are the indigenous population and consistently lived there. Jews bought land legally, accepted every peace plan and only took more when attacked. (3/6)
And think about it. If you oppose Israel& #39;s existence, what do you believe should happen? Should every Jew, almost all of whom either were born there or have lived there for 72+ years, be deported? Or should we just allow Hamas, Hezbollah and the PLO to massacre them? (4/6)
If you& #39;ve read this thread and thought "I support Israel& #39;s existence, I just oppose its policies", then guess what: you& #39;re not anti-Zionist. Zionism is by definition the belief in the Jewish right to self-determination. Anti-Zionism is the belief in the opposite. (5/6)
Whether you like it or not, Israel exists. If you believe it shouldn& #39;t, you are either actively or passively propagating anti-Semitism. There& #39;s no way about it. Targeting the only Jewish state for extinction is anti-Semitic. It& #39;s that simple. (6/6)
