We have yet another example of the conservatives having only short term gain and quick profits on their mind. Turner and the liberals were right when they said that we have been building this country east to west for a century plus, and that we should have continued doing so. And now we are seeing Turner’s predictions coming true, and a conservative sold us the fuck out and took the easy way Instead of nation building.

    Zionism is just the basic fact that the Jewish people deserve to have a state to live in. Zionism has been thrown around as a buzzword forever and it’s not wrong to say that Jews deserve to have a state to represent them. Now currently is what Israel doing ok? Fuck no. But you’re not gonna fucking sit in here and conflate this bullshit as if the liberals are responsible for Israel doing what it’s doing. They aren’t.

      Zionism[a] is an ethnocultural nationalist[b] movement that emerged in Europe in the late 19th century that aimed to establish a national home for the Jewish people, pursued through the colonization of Palestine,[2] a region roughly corresponding to the Land of Israel in Judaism,[3] with central importance in Jewish history. Zionists wanted to create a Jewish state in Palestine with as much land, as many Jews, and as few Palestinian Arabs as possible.[4]

      In summary, it’s a movement that aims at committing genocide in order to obtain a ethno-cultural state where Judaism and Jews are the only accepted and dominant people.

      Yes, zionism is bad.
