    Fortunately a lot of Jewish people have figured out how to be Jewish without the whole genocide thing. Wild how that works.

    ^ Zionism isn’t even remotely integral to Judaism as far as I know. The only ethnicity that has genocide as a core part of its religion and ethnicity is white people.

      i’m not very up on my differences between the torah and the christianized old testament, but i’m pretty sure there’s some “god said kill all these people” in there.

      of course I haven’t heard of anyone saying palestinians are actually amalekites, and we’ve all seen the video of the israeli cops shoving an old hasidic man protesting the genocide

      Strictly, Zionism is opposed to religious Judaism, which is very clear on the Jews not being allowed to have a Jewish state in Eretz Yisrael until the Messiah comes (it’s why most orthodox Jews are against it by default).
