I am sure that helped as well but that has its limits just as Elon Musk found out.

I don't think AIPAC is as influential as you all make it out to be but that's a difference of opinion we discussed in the past. AIPAC can help when there are already strong undercurrents of support and Israeli PM is not openly being confrontational. These millions are piss in the ocean in the scheme of things and if Trump is pissed off by perceived disrespect it will mean little to nothing. Now that the Arabs are showering Trump and US with that oil money Israel will struggle to compete for his attention.

AIPAC gave 100 million this election cycle. That's pretty influential.

So I'm supposed to believed he would have made a 180° from his whole life stance and stop being - I quote his own words as in the video above and censor the word that Biden said in an state press conference to comply with the new forum rule : "a Z***ist that loves Bibi" all of sudden based on no data nor evidence whatsoever ?

I mean get in my shoes. Who makes a decision without any indication of change, zero, nada, nothing ?

And again, the strategy worked out well for the election. More than half of the democrat voter base is pro palestinian. That's a reality to update maybe.

PS: pretty ridiculous that we can't say the word z***ist when we're talking about a person saying it out loud about himself. That's the most absurd rule this forum ever came by.

That directive came down from on HIGH. If you feel that you absolutely cannot post here without using that word, then I can't help you. If you use the world Israeli, I think people here are smart enough to pick up what you're laying down.

But israelies arent neccasrily " z" . Itd be like trying to discuss nazis but ya cant use nazi.. and told to use german instead... or christian

Rather than shitting on nazis it becomes shitting on a ethnicity or religion.....

Its really strange honestly.

While it's difficult to pinpoint an exact percentage, a significant portion of Jews are anti-Zionist, though the majority are not. Some polls suggest that a minority, potentially around 30% or more, describe themselves as non-Zionists.

A 2023 poll in Australia found that 77% of Jewish respondents identified as Zionists,

Seems really odd rather than critising a political ideology .....sherdog wants us to critise the nation. Ethnicity or religion... not a political idealogy

Its incredibly backwards ....

They still don’t get that Gaza is run by Hamas. It’s kinda funny to think you can just acknowledge “Palestine” as a nation. They’d need a civil war first.
They are talking about the west bank . Theres zero chance of gaza and hamas being involved in a 2 state solutiom

Yeah, it's dumb.

It's almost like a desperate attempt to conflate normal Israelis with ultranationalist extremists.

Who the fuck would want that?

I told you the deal. It is what it is. You can either follow the rules or not. I'm only here to mediate, moderate, and LASTLY... Enforce.

Comparing Zionism to Nazism is already problematic.

Most of the users here posting “Zionist” are using it in a pejorative context or if we’re being honest, as a dog whistle.

With the exception of extreme Haredi sects, you could probably safely categorize 99% of the Israeli Jewish population as Zionist.

Ok instead of using maga. Everyone has to use american or christian instead =) as its always used in a derogative manner heh.


NO political group or idealogy should be afforded protection from critism. Especially when it removes the ability to critise.



I just used nazis as it Was a more powerful analogy i felt heh. But maga will do.

There's nothing wrong with using the word in a pejorative context. That's the whole point - a lot of people are against the establishment of an ethnostate when it comes along with displacing hundreds of thousands to millions of indigenous people.

Zionism is about Israel’s right to exist. All Israelis believe in Israel’s right to exist. That’s different than the political party. No one uses the term to just describe the political party here.

I definitely agree that no political group should be barred from criticism. The problem is mostly that people who repeatedly use the word “Zionist” aren’t actually criticizing “Zionism”, but seek to use it as a dog whistle in an attempt to dehumanize Israelis in general or Jews globally.

See post on this page referring to the U.S. occupied government which refers to the “Zionist Occupied Government” as which is a white-nationalist/neo Nazi term referring to disproportionate Jewish control in Washington.

I am of no surprise that an antisemitic poster would deem using “Zionist” as a pejorative word desirable and acceptable.

Israel is one of the most religiously diverse nations in the Middle East. Prob #1 or 2.

Yet you question only their right to exist.

Yet they have specific laws that favor one set of people over another - right of return. Something not given to the hundreds of thousands of indigenous people who were kicked out.

Pejorative context, as in "Zionazi?"

Sup zionazi?

Exactly. At the expense of the Palestinians (both Muslim and Christian).

These Zionazi's are extremely dishonest.

Dodge and duck again you zionazi

Zionazi added to ignored list

I called them out on it:

Cocksuckers like you, @Snubnoze707 , and @iwannabeadored are cheapening the term "Nazi" and trivializing the Holocaust by using that stupid word.

You cannot equate the systematic mass murder of 6 million Jews by the Nazis to the actions of Israel. This is an absurd comparison and a perverse misappropriation of the history of the Nazis' brutal treatment of Jews. What you're doing is incredibly anti-semitic and illustrates your lack of understanding of history.

Are you familiar with the miserable conditions under which the Jews lived at Auschwitz? Are you aware that they were worked to death and underfed, constantly living under the fear of not knowing when their deaths will come or when their torture will end?

Have you not seen the pictures of the emaciated, bald Jews that were stacked in their lice and rat infested bunk beds like African slaves on a ship during the periods of the Transatlantic Slave Trade? Are you familiar with the disgusting, barbaric experiments carried out by the so-called doctor, Josef Mengele aka the Angel of Death?

What the fuck did you assholes learn in school?

Go fuck yourselves, Jew haters.

A ban was imposed on the slur, and then this idiot whined about it a month later:

Crazy isn't it? How quickly the victim can turn into the victimizer.

Let me get your moderator opinion, if you will. Now, since you think it's a wild grouping... if I was to say combine the two into "Zionazi" for example, would that be something needing of moderation to remove the entire post?

In a thread where people laugh about children being slaughtered, one would think our freedoms of expression would be quite loose.

To skirt around this ban, this anti-Semitic piece of shit tried to get clever with us with a "typo."

and every zionistss crackdown on freedoms in the west acknowledges their inability to defend Israel and fear they are losing.

But I saw through his bullshit:

"Zionistss." You've used that term for the millionth time by now.

Hey, dumbass. You think I don't know you're doing? I can read between the lines, you dum dum. The 'ss' in "Zionistss" stands for Schutzstaffel.

Look at this dipshit trying to skirt around the ban on the term "Zionazi" by using another anti-semitic one. You just can't fucking learn, can you?

So go ahead. Say it. But first, let me just remind everyone here that the use of the slur "Zionazi" is a form of Holocaust trivialization.

Yeah way to ignore the point. Not surprisingly.
