    The vast majority are like the one who made the comment.

    Uh, doubtful, both by polling and personal experience.

    They have redefined Zionist as a slur rather than someone who thinks Jews should retain their own small ethno state

    When did ethnostates become acceptable again? Did the clock turn from 2025 to 1925 when I wasn’t looking?

    (albeit surrounded by over 20 Muslim ethno states).

    I’m not sure you understand what an ethnostate is

    Anyone who criticizes Hamas are called genocidal baby killers (much like anyone who criticizes Israel is called anti-semitic, although that happens far less often).

    You’re kidding, right?

    Speaking as someone who is very offput by the whitewashing of Hamas atrocities, it is far more common for critics of Israel to be labeled antisemitic than for critics of Hamas to be labeled genocidal baby-killers.

      Compare r/worldnews (generally pro Israel) with r/animetitties (pro Pal) to see what I mean (the latter is a serious news sub; long origin story).
