      The IDF is targetting hospitals, water treatment facilities, neighborhoods, intentionally shooting civilians, flattening them with bulldozers, and torturing Palestinians. It isn’t a war against Hamas, but Palestinian existence.

      Secondly, conflating anti-zionism with antisemitism is antisemetic. The reality of Zionism is settler-colonialism. One of the founding Zionists, Theodore Herzl, stated, and I quote:

      "It would be an excellent idea to call in respectable, accredited anti-Semites as liquidators of [Jewish] property. To the people they would vouch for the fact that we do not want to bring about the impoverishment of the countries we leave. The anti-Semites will become our most dependable friends, the anti-Semitic countries our allies.”

      The Zionists would make a deal with the Nazis to help export Jews in Nazi Germany to a new colony of “Israel” and would fuel them in their colonization of Palestine. Furthermore, the Zionists persecuted Yiddish-speaking Jewish people, seeing them as “degenerates” and associating them with “left-wing politics” and “Eastern Europeans.”
