    “The difference” is that Israel’s formal position is not the elimination of Palestinian Arabs. Zionism as we know it primary exists because of widespread genocidal attitudes towards Jews.

    I’m not defending Israel’s heavy hand here by any means. I am just tired of everyone on the internet feeling free to just ignore all the historical context wrapped up in this conflict.

      Sure, it’s not what they say they are doing, but genocide is literally what they are doing.

      Why does it matter what they say when it does not mirror their actions?
