I think a couple of you have nailed the crux of the story here. Using Zionist in everyday speech is not something most of us have done much of, because it tended to be in a word-cloud that included other words like “exterminate” and “The Jews” and you know what I’m talking about here so if you’ve lived with that being almost every context you see “Zionist” in, it’s a pretty quick No on further discussion. That’s the disconnect.
What the modern state of Israel is doing is atrocious. If we need to use the word “Zionist” to explain it okay, but I would argue we don’t need to in order to stop this genocide. Also The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is not a great book.
And this “look! Democrats love genocide” shit is rancid. What Democrats wanted was to not be in the fascist hellhole shitslide we are now in. That garbage take was straight outta Moscow and did what it was intended to do, which was keep people from voting Harris and it absolutely did. Now everything is much worse.
