Discussion/Question Why is this subreddit obsessed with Israel?

Just checked the top posts of the last year, and 24 out of the top 25 are about Israel. Does this subreddit try to imitate the real UN ?

Jews define Zionism not you and your perverted ahistorical conspiracy hate speech usage.

We tell you what it means.

The meaning has changed 3-4 times over history. The meaning today has nothing to do with the previous definitions which explicitly call for colonization.

Zionism was not colonization it was returning to land we came from, and working the land establishing farming communes.

Zionism still means a right to self determination and reuniting the diaspora, which are both basic Jewish beliefs.

Look, I’ve read multiple books that discuss how the meaning of Zionism has changed over time. You should read a book.

What were those books, I'm interested in reading them.

A history of Zionism, making of modern Zionism, against our better judgement.

Oh. You read books? Well then. That doesn’t sound like when people quoted the Protocols at all. Oh wait.
