    I guess I made a mistake here. I’ve tried to provoke a guy who claimed that Zionism and Nazism are incompatible. Probably I’ve made this guy up myself.

    Borders were a mistake for humanity

      Zionism and Nazism are incompatible.

      You chose the word incompatible… I said they couldn’t be equated to mean the same thing.

      It’s just academically dishonest to claim that Zionism, (which was largely a response to Nazism) is the same as Nazism.

      If we begin to accept this definitional generalization it will come back to haunt us. What do you think the liberal world will say if Palestine were to free itself from occupation from the river to the sea?

      Wouldn’t they in their retaliation be creating a nationalist ethnostate via ethnic based violence? Wouldn’t we be asking for a little context and nuance then? Or would we just check the same boxes and say they were Nazis?
