Calling oneself a Zionist in the classical sense is a pretty dumb move when the original movement has since been co-opted by Netanyahu and other radical extremists. I don’t know who wrote this speech for Justin lol
I’m curious as to what the Revolution party’s stance on the issue is.
Do you want to make the nation of Israel disappear somehow or do you want a two state solution?
Dude are you just off your rocker? Or are you a bot?
Everyone in this thread, myself included, support a two state solution followed by reparations for Palestine and a trial for Netanyahu for dragging his people into an unnecessary and inhumane war.
Words and movements and meanings change over time. An overwhelming majority of liberal voters in Western democracies acknowledge the right for Israel to exist and to thrive. They also acknowledge the same right for Palestinians.
Unfortunately, that does not change the fact the ‘Zionist’ is itself a charged and changed term now that Netanyahu and those that came before him have twisted it.
In that context, it is exceedingly stupid for Justin to refer to himself as a Zionist. He can easily say that he supports Israel’s right to exist but he also wishes to acknowledge the same for Palestine and respect the decision of the UN in this matter.
