greatfausto.bsky.social wrote: Zionism is a war and genocidal cult just like Nazism was…. They are a disease to humanity To which I responded: You are avoiding my question. 37% of American Jews identify as Zionist. For example: I don't label myself as a Zionist but my son certainly does. Do you want to eradicate my son? Is my son a "disease to humanity"? Be specific, take ownership of your words. To which they responded: I have no problem… yes… he is a blight on humanity if he advances killing one race (Palestinians) to benefit his own (Israelis)… he’s no different than the SS seeking Lebensraum by the eradication of all Jews and Slavs in Eastern Europe

A post by neverabridesmade.bsky.social which reads: Iran says straight is only closed to America and Israel. Once again isolate Americans, let Israel kill their competitors and make us like the terrorists. You wonder how young people get turned? Ask your President.

The truth is much weirder and retrospectively obvious (1/x)
