It's a very important point, considering that the crux of all the white supremacist propaganda we've been fed about Israel rests on the idea that Israel (somehow) "represents" Jewishness... and I'd say this plays right into the hasbara's hands.

Jesus fuck if that’s really what you got from my comment

This you?

It’d be like kicking all the Russians out of former USSR countries, or Chinese out of Tibet, or white people out of the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

I could swear that was you, pretending that decolonialism (somehow) automatically results in the expulsion of this or that people. You know, like a person who only views the world through a white supremacist lens would?

So I take it there is now no objection to the dismantling and destruction of the state of Israel? Or are you still conflating Jewishness with Israel? You know, like white supremacists do?

Although wouldn’t kicking the Jews

Why do you conflate Jewishness with Israel?

why some Christians are obsessed with Israel

I'd say that Zionism is a Christian idea, but that would be false. It's a "western" idea that orginated among English upper-class Christians that was utterly antisemitic - the idea that Jewish people will always be an "other" in the white, oops, I meant to say "western," world and essentially "must go back where they came from."

Right-wing Jewish people picked up this idea from there. Zionism has never been an exclusively "Jewish" thing and it has always been fundamentally antisemitic - that's why you can even see neo-nazis singing Israel's praises.

It's kind of disingenuous.

It portrays Orthodox Jewishness as being responsible for genocidal Zionism when Orthodox Jewishness has pretty much always been vehemently critical of both Zionism and the creation of Israel.

The Jewish Zionists that perpetrated the Nakba looked no different than their fellow Europeans.

It's nice to see the name Shapiro not linked to something vomit-worthy, for once.

Jewish people living in Palestine is no fig leaf to justify European genocidal colonialism.

I think at this stage we can just call manifest destiny "Americanism."

There is no such thing as "blind" justice. What they mean with "blind justice" isn't justice at all, but rather a blind application of and obedience to law - which liberalism have always (and utterly falsely) conflated with "justice."

I'd say that capitalism merely treating climate change as simply something else to manage for fun and profit is very dystopian.

Spoiler alert - it was Israel. But you knew that already, didn't you?

A recently released Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) document titled “Domestic Terrorism Symbols Guide”* links common protest symbols to “terrorism” — another marker in a common theme of conflating militant protest for social justice with deadly terrorist violence within the United States. Groups like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Brennan Center have raised warnings about such documents, citing inadequate protections for people’s constitutional rights.
