Oh I see. Yes, you’re right, people do tend to use that term for non-Jewish supporters. Not sure what other word I could be using, so I say ally regardless of whether they’re Jewish or not
YouTube, A Bit Fruity Podcast, infographics on Instagram. He's such a treasure. Recently interviewed Yona Roseman, a trans Israeli who was jailed for refusing the draft.
She's so right! Thank goodness I watched that one video that clearly explains a couple thousand years of 'rights' to the land, how god sees the Israelis as precious angels to be protected and how Israel has always offered viable solutions to peace but those pesky Palestinians want water & electricity. Again, zionists are so ultra rad with their talking points and whatnot.
This guy has dealt with so much harassment for telling the truth. Zionist accounts dedicate slide deck after slide deck harassing and doxxing him-antisemitism, homophobia, you name it- all this hate coming at him from folks who are often other Jews. He's a gem, his podcast and his posts are smart and accurate, and he's just so obviously a truly good person.
It’s always like this it’s so bizarre. I remember a creator explicitly saying that all of these reputable organizations were just antisemitic and Israel is the only one telling the truth. The mental gymnastics is wild.
As Matt Bernstein said in a recent podcast, he hates to compare things to cults lightly, but the increasing Zionist position that "everyone who doesn't agree with us is part of a conspiracy to get us" is ridiculously cultlike.
Yah is just crazy to think that, like literally UN and Human Rights organizing are saying what Israel are crimes. But they brush it off by saying whatever stupid argument which ends with them outing themselves even more as not only Zionists, but also as literal fascists
I also sorta don’t need an organisation to tell me a situation is bad. Videos of children being blown up and starved is enough and nothing can justify that for me
I was tabling for a BDS campaign a few months ago, talking to people on the street. A Jewish Zionist woman confronted me and the people I was tabling with, demanding that we condemn Hamas and accusing us of being rape supporters. She stuck around for over an hour trying to "debate" us, which I put in scare quotes because she hardly let us talk at all, kept interrupting and making wild accusations of what our motivations were. But she had some pretty outlandish convictions about Israel that honestly made her sound like a caricature of a Zionist, saying things like God gave Israel to the Jews, and the IDF is the most moral army in the world, etc. She even brought up that Golda Meir quote about "the Arabs forcing us to kill their children," saying it resonated deeply with her.
Anyway, I was pretty frustrated, she was successfully getting my comrades riled up, especially with how she kept accusing one of my woman comrades of being a rape supporter. And she kept painting this picture of the IDF as saintly and incorruptible. So eventually I snapped and basically started listing war crimes by the IDF, historical to the present. She didn't believe anything I was saying and demanded sources, which I actually have a pretty good memory for. But then when I listed sources she instead began demanding Jewish sources, which I was also able to list some off the top of my head. I brought up massacres such as Tantura, Deir Yassin, Sabra and Shatila, violent and gruesome sexual assaults being committed by the IDF on Palestinians in detention, IDF members posting TikToks of destroying vital civilian infrastructure and dancing in the lingerie of killed and displaced women. This person gets her phone out and starts googling rebuttals to everything I'm saying, and keeps winding up on friggin Reddit, and starts reading out loud Zionist talking points from Reddit comments explaining away historical atrocities.
As frustrating as all that was, a small crowd of people gathered when all this was going down, and one Lebanese-American dude was able to jump in and have his perspective heard by a lot of people. And the whole time this woman was standing there making accusations of us and trying to justify genocide, every single person who passed by took one of our flyers. So I'd say she gave the cause positive publicity. 🤷♀️

its a source and a report that these people cannot refute.
I hate you. And thank you. I knew what it would be but still shocking going over details, barely got a fifth of the way through before pausing to finish later... Gotta say the psychology fascinates me, my mind immediately goes to "why would you ever get captured? Wouldn't you rather die than go in?" but then I reflect on the fact that i have similar thoughts on the very idea of them staying in palestine in the first place (I mean, there's something impressive about not bowing to pressure and leaving because obviously that's the goal but my mind just doesn't work that way all I can think is how I'd never stay....I guess it's different when that's all you know, when you'd have to leave behind everyone you know..)

this is like a perfect example of 99% of 'zionist debate', the inauthentic nature just creeps me out like it's disturbing because almost all of them don't approach the topic with any intellectual honesty, it always reminds me of the stereotype of a sleazy lawyer for whom truth, reality etc are utterly irrelevant, and it's bad enough to be this way once in a while about 1 point but these people are like this about the most important topic in their life and operate like this 24/7 (why did dershowitz just pop into my mind? lol) Truly sad, would feel more pity over it if it weren't all in service of such awful ends
