President Joe Biden said Tuesday Israel’s prime minister needs to change his hardline government and support for the country’s military campaign is waning amid heavy bombardment of Gaza. … “This is the most conservative government in Israel’s history,” Biden said, adding that the Israeli government “doesn’t want a two-state solution.”
It’s mind-blowing how thoroughly Netanyahu has bungled this. They had damn near the entire world in full support after Hamas’ horrific attack on Israeli civilians, and they’ve managed to lose it.
Now is “Zionist” the new word you call everyone you don’t like. I practically don’t get why people are so much against the fact that Israel exists. It’s reasonable to criticize some Israel’s actions but why so many are against it’s existence.
Probably because it’s a colony state, acting like a colony state. Oppressing the locals and acting like the victim when the locals inevitably lash out. Then using that as an excuse to take more land.

What exactly does it mean then? I adhere to the cambridge’s definition: “a political movement that had as its original aim the creation of a country for Jewish people, and that now supports the state of Israel”

Zionism never asks for the disrespect of international law. Whilst Israel illegally occupies undisputed territories (and I condemn these actions), they fully respect the borders. You will not find a single jew in gaza, neither in Palestinian-only villages.
Ethnostates are inherently immoral, regardless of which race they are. Everyone should be treated equally under the law, regardless of race. Nobody should be a 2nd class citizen, apartheid is immoral.
And that’s all before counting the ongoing genocide.
In Israel, citizens are equal. Muslims and others have the same rights as Jews. If you are talking about Palestinian people as “2nd class citizens”, then you have to realize that they are under Palestinian administration. That’s like calling Germans 2nd class citizens of France.

It is an ethnostate, by definition it does not treat people equally.
You also conveniently ignored the fact that they are committing genocide.
Yes because israel is not committing genocide. Simply by the numbers of deaths it does not fit.

I read that article and Israel is not committing genocide even in part.
How many Palestinian civilians have been killed?
How many bombs have been intentionally dropped on civilians?
Which exact escalation are you talking about? If about this one, it’s probably more than 20k. What does it prove though?
Judging which bomb is purposefully thrown on civilians is impossible.
