I understand the historical neo-Nazi ties, but I mean, AIPAC has its fingers in practically every politician. Practically every politician is a Zionist. It follows that the US government is occupied by Zionists, no?
I also am confused by how the article you linked seemingly equates Zionism with Judaism; haven’t anti-Zionists been putting effort into emphasizing that those two things are not the same? Yes, the neo-Nazis often use ZOG and JOG interchangeably. But the recent adoptees of the term do not.
I’ve been hung up on this issue specifically for a few weeks. My belief is that the use of this term does not automatically make one an anti-Semite or a neo-Nazi, despite its history. Are you concerned about the rising use of this term radicalizing people into neo-Nazisim?
Also, as an aside, I feel like there’s some disagreement as to what Zionism means. Zionism is the advocacy for a Jewish colonial state in Palestine; my understanding is that if one supports Israel’s right to exist, they are a Zionist. Do you disagree? Last time I brought this up I got downvoted and my comprehension skills were insulted, but I mean it’s literally the first sentence of the linked article.
Please try to engage with this comment in good faith.











Please. Platner’s past is so spotty that there would only be a conspiracy if this didn’t get discussed.
I’m not telling you to avoid voting for him, but he’s definitely got a checkered past.
