minus-squareSamskara@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days agoZionist is used as a term to make antisemitism more palatable, than saying Jew. ZOG Zionist Occupied Government is a pure antisemitic term for example.
minus-squareJankatarch@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-22 days agoActually not wrong. Zionism is a nationalist movement started in 1890s but Conspiracy theorists use it for anti-semitism. In their case they think Zionism means Judaism. What’s ironic is that palestinians are a semitic group by both old and new definition. So “I support Zionism” is used to justify anti-semitism too. So from both sides it’s used by anti-semites.
