(36,355 posts)And Zionism does NOT equate to Judaism. Fuck off to anyone who claims otherwise, but they can fuck off after I explain to them why, not that any normal person needs it explained to them.

(36,355 posts)I've heard that they used to abuse women on buses in Jerusalem and try to force them to sit up the back of the bus. I think the anti-Zionist part of the Orthodox Jews is Neterei Karta.

I like them coz they recognise that Zionism is a very complicated thing, and that those who go 'Anti-Zionism = Anti-Semitism' are willfully ignoring that what exists now is political Zionism, an ugly and distorted religious and nationalist thing that relies on the dehumanization of Palestinians to thrive. I believe in Israel's right to exist just as much as I believe in Russia's right to exist, but if being appalled and disgusted with their treatment of innocent civilians makes me a hater of either, so be it.
