    You realize Tel Aviv wasn’t always occupied by Zionists, right? The entirety of Israel is a colonial project. You can’t just arbitrarily draw a line between one year and another and say that only ethnosupremasist colonial acts of aggression after that year qualify as being enacted under Zionism.

      Bro, you copy and pasted that. Please work on your reading comprehension before flippantly accusing one of the few good people of being heinous. Get professional help.

        I’m not being flippant, I’m being factual.

        A direct quote from the first sentence of the Wikipedia article on Zionism serves my purpose well, when someone is contesting the very simple definition of that term.

        Bernie serves the Imperial core. Bernie is a Zionist. These are irrefutable facts, as evidenced by your unwillingness to engage with the argument.

        Bernie is good for Americans, but not good for the world. How much weight you put on humanity and how much weight you put on your own wellbeing is up to you, but not everyone is American; you’d do well to remember that as you continue your political journey.
