no offense lemon but the current state of Israel (meaning tehre could be a different one in the future) was the product of a very specific movement called Zionism. VERY specific. It's not about whether someone believes that there should be a Jewish homeland--THAT is not Zionism per se. It is about whether people believe in giving a pass to the crimes commited by the political movement known by the name Zionism. Conflating support for a Jewish homeland as a concept with support of the specific ideology that brought this current and horribly flawed incarnation of a SO-CALLED Jewish homeland (it is far more and far less than that all at once!) is the problem.

In other words, we're not saying Germans, or even Aryans. We're saying Nazis. And our country is quite literally under attack by this movement and has been for some time. This is a real outside threat to our national sovereignty and must be taken seriously. This has nothing to do with Jewish people per se or even with your average Israeli citizen. Though we must be fair and we must be clear about what we are saying, we cannot shy from saying it. Neither America nor the world has a Jewish problem. But America has a Zionist problem, big time.
