We have established that Norman Finkelstein is not the Messiah.
Finally, the XLT led peace process is making some headway.

Finkelstein doesn't seem too bad to me. a bit odd, yes. it should be noted he's Jewish and his parents were the only holocaust survivors in their families
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Finkelstein: On Holocaust denial In a July 2020 online discussion with British activists, Finkelstein called Holocaust denier David Irving "a very good historian". Finding insufficient the evidence of Richard J. Evans as the expert witness in Irving's unsuccessful libel action in 2000 against Deborah Lipstadt, who had labeled Irving a Holocaust denier, Finkelstein said Irving had "produced works that are substantive … If you don't like it, don't read it. In the case of Irving, he knew a thing or two—or three".[125]
In October 2020, Finkelstein published an extract from his forthcoming book, Cancel Culture, Academic Freedom and Me on his website following the banning of Holocaust denial from Facebook and Twitter. According to Finkelstein, "Holocaust denial should be taught in university and preferably by a Holocaust denier" as a means "to inoculate students" against it. He states: "If one is committed to the purity of truth, not just in its wholeness but also in its parts, then a Holocaust denier performs the useful function of ferreting out 'local' errors, precisely because he is a devil’s advocate—that is, fanatically committed to 'unmasking' the 'hoax of the 20th century.'"[126][127]

why do you hate brown people?
(pretty genuine question: islamophobia intersects with that greatly.)
also what Fleet says, with 'it is very simple' (i'd include civilians with journalists and kids, though)
i started watching: it's very informative and it has some interesting dynamics (like: the zionist is also respected for his historic work, by the other side)

don't call people "zionists" as a pejorative unless you want to alienate jews (including leftist jews). if what you mean is "supporter of the far right israeli government and the massacre of palestinians", say it as such.

Fuck Islam, sure I'm Islamophobic. Who wouldn't be? It's a violent crock of shit. Prove to me it isn't. What do you know about Islam? Bearing in mind they won't let you into their mosque to casually browse their DVDs and browser history. What with you in your pink shorts.

i mean it a 'zionist'. his wiki page says he calls himself that. would be odd if he wasn't. like: would be odd to be a scholar and in support of Israel's politics and not be a zionist

Most Jews are zionists, ie they believe Israel has a right exist as the home of the Jewish people. You're against that. You'd rather there was yet another failed Islamic state. Why? Because you're a poof.

Shame. You sound like my Dad, who’s a good man but becoming twisted with hatred.
Of course there’s good in Muslim faith and Muslim people.
What was Christianity up to when it was roughly the age Islam is now? ‘Member? In my worthless opinion it’s all down to interpretation and the fact some rather scary people decided stuff had to be rigorously taken word for word and no interpretation was allowed.
Funny how most Islamic terrorists (the ones who actually do the nasty work, not those who plan it) were known to play video games, smoke weed and drink beer.
Roger, no one in their right mind would accept terrorism as being the correct way. But I also think it’s extreme to put everyone in the same basket. In its youth Islam was the religion of science, art and poetry. Some people are cunts, that’s all. All over the place.

Also I have to agree with big, not all Jewish people believe in the state of Israel as a right.
What is it with generalising everything?

but if you want a more practical answer: anyone who's just a tiny bit attuned to antisemitism encounters the word more often as a sort of euphemical slur than as a meaningful descriptor, and that is how it will come across

honestly, bar some very specific expert contexts, at this point i just don't see how the word could be useful in political discourse, except for raging antisemites to maintain plausible deniability. it's not worth the confusion if you're truly only using it to mean "supporter of the current israeli government" (which is a very reductive usage of a concept that has a very long and very broad history).
dan i don't want to ruin our moment but if you can't manage a she i'd really rather be he'd than they'd lol.
