    Anti-zionist does not equal anti-semitic. Just as being anti-nazi does not mean you are anti-white.

    It is amazing how many people understand the second one but not the first one.

      The venn Diagram does have overlaps for these groups and unfortunately the loudest most insufferable variants are the ones you hear about the most, the ones that give every side a bad taste in Their mouths.

      But good news for everyone, and this guy in particular that there still is a space for his freedom of expression. A well thought out position that holds up to scrutiny should not lead to retaliation from the employer. Every well thought out position is a trade off between priorities and a difference in where priorities are placed.

        Descendant of a jewish holocaust survivor here. I am extremely anti zionist and will never support the colonial project that is Israel. I also have a big book collection on the holocaust, the jewish faith, and antisemitism. Both can be true at the same time.
