I would direct the letter writer to the Evian Conference of 1938, and to the books "Uncomfortable Conversations with a Jew" by Noah Tisby and Emmanuel Acho; and to the book "Israelphobia" by Jake Wallis Simons. I would also direct her to the videos of Rudy Rochman.
A Zionist is merely someone who believes the world's only Jewish state has as much right to exist as the 22 Arab States and over 50 Muslim states (none of which allow women and LGBT people the full civil rights allowed in Israel).
Or the Hamas covenant which is published online for free to read. This person sounds like they still belong on the left except maybe in one position. If you're siding with ultra fundamentalist jihadis over any resistance to that you're definitely a big D Democrat.
I'd be curious to hear what the "effed-up fiction" of "Zionists" is. That Israel is a legitimate state with the right not be wiped out by its lunatic neighbors?
Regardless, this is such a silly issue on which to base one's vote. Even the Democrats, with their large jihadi wing, still are mostly on Israel's side.
Right??? The Kingdom of Israel/Judea was established a few centuries before word Arab even existed. Like what's the fiction here? That it was colonized by Israel? It's the same shit rhetoric about everyone is a "colonizer." Well ok, how far back do we go? We have written history and archaeological evidence of Israel before any Arab state anywhere in the world. Are people just not willing to read books written before last year?
lol this person actually compares to a pre WW2 "good German citizen" because they think wiping out Jews from the river to the sea is a great idea.
Genocide. Zionism. I don't think you know what those words mean.
You are somehow forgetting that Hamas can end the war tomorrow if it surrenders and releases the hostages.
You might also be forgetting that Hamas stores its weapons in schools, hospitals and mosques with the HOPE that Israel strikes there so that people like you can call that a genocide. Sadly, this cynical ploy is working.
Come on, don’t worry that much - you‘re not politically homeless or lost in the middle - you are indeed just a „good German civilian“, and believe me you are by far not alone - after the 7th of October they all popped out! And you know what? - There were always there, but only whispering, now they can scream it once again!
So glad I found my way here! My friend and I have been calling ourselves politically homeless for sometime and were thinking there must be many others. I'm also out here finding those voices from the middle 60% (my estimate). They're all around us, but most are afraid to say anything "too wild." Thanks for sharing these!
I feel even more Politically Homeless than I did when I was #49! It's far worse than having to make a choice between deranged and demented now. What flavor or Totalitarian censorship would I prefer? Do I consent to be hacked by Russia or China? Both major parties seem to have turned into what they've feared and hated just a few election cycles ago. Third party and independent candidates can't be expecting to be taken seriously by most of this country, never mind our allies or enemies. There's so much more to focus on other than the Word of the Day (Weird! Joy!) or insulting the other side. Maybe if we cut back (or eliminated!) funding everyone else's wars and issues we'd be able to work on our own, like "good American civilians"....
