At the risk of attracting the wrong people to this blog - I think the reason why some of you get really offended when people call you, celebrities you like, organizations you support, companies you buy from, etc., zionists, is because a lot of you actually don't know what zionism is.

I think there is a preconceived notion that a zionist is someone who calls Palestinians slurs, openly supports genocide, chants death to arabs while getting their coffee or something along those lines, and granted there are a lot like this, but a zionist is someone who supports the existence of the state of Israel - and if you know your history of al-nakba, al-naksa, Palestinian land theft, settler colonialism, massacres, displacement going back over a century - you'd know why this is inherently a bad thing.

It's why statements like "I support Israel and Palestine", "I support a two-state solution", "I want peace for both sides" or "Israel and Palestine both have a right to exist" are always intrinsically zionist. Actually learn what these terms mean because some of the things I see you guys calling 'pro-Palestine' are still rooted in zionism.

In light of the terrible contrapoints take on Palestine she made (unsurprisingly), she did say this:

And it kind of encapsulates what I mean in this post. "Here, they decided to draw the line separating decent people from genocidal fascists." A genocidal fascist doesn't have to be a slur-slinging, openly murderous, rageful human being - the reason why so many people have trouble recognizing different iterations of fascism, including Zionism, is because it takes the form of seemingly normal people. Regular people you'd meet in a coffee shop or even people who seem to be educated on world issues and social activism - that's why Palestinians cannot "open the coalition", because you're asking us to be comfortable with a "nicer" form of fascism that makes *you* more comfortable.

A fascism that 1) makes it more acceptable for the less "kind" form to exist and 2) ultimately justifies the same thing: Palestinian displacement and land theft. Why do you think the Jewish population of Israel went from 30% to 80% after 1948? Palestinians were kindly asked to leave? A two-state solution doesn't care about this, nor does it reconcile that many of us are still in exile who cannot go home; we don't want to be guests in our own land.

Fundamentally, the reason why people like Contrapoints have trouble reconciling zionism and all that encapsulates is because she sees herself more closely to Israeli settlers than she does to Palestinians. As do many people who hold her views.
