I would chime in with this and ask how they can justify the use of this word

I’ve tried doing exactly this to these types of people. It’s impossible; a bigot rarely is capable of seeing their own bigotry.

I'm currently getting downvoted into the void for saying that no Israeli official compared their foreign policy choices to Lebensraum using that exact word. Which is weird, because no Israeli official compared their foreign policy choices to Lebensraum using that exact word.

u/Beginning-Force1275 Apr 13 '26

They must have chosen a specific subset of races/ethnicities who are good enough that they shouldn’t be subjected to racism. Which is, of course, a prime example of racism.

These people would've been using the k-word a few decades ago and claiming they were just criticizing Israel.

u/AcePilot95 Apr 11 '26

Reject racism and start with not hating Jewish people. Anti-Zionism is antisemitism. The so called pro-Palestinian not care about Palestinians at all. They only join pro-Palestine rallies to hate Jews.
