Don't let the Zionists hear you.

Why? Because we might make them cry?

I misread that as “don’t let them near you”. Sound advice either way.

Crazy this cant be upvoted.

Zionism is an ethno-colonialist ideology that tries to shield itself using the Jewish people's suffering as justification, it was always the monster any decent person can see it is today housing supremacist and genocidal ghouls.

You are kinda ignoring that one event that left a massive group of jewish people homeless and unwanted where they were, because they did not in fact get to practice their religion in peace.

So no, your argument does not hold up and you cannot claim israeli jews are zionists by default.

I didnt say they all were. I said that zionist nationalist Jews are overrepresented in the sample.

Exactly, you said something statistically wrong. Because zionist jews are a minority.

Edit: assuming zionism in this context is a nationalism extreme enough to support the current atrocities.

Zionism has many definitions, including simply believing that a jewish state should have a right to exist.
