To be fair, not all definitions of Zionism refer to colonizing the area around jerusalem. More generally, zionism is around creating a jewish state and controlling their own destiny.


correct, my point is op seems to carry an emotional burden with the word "zionism". which is really only explained by the recent (since 10/7) media cycles IMO.


Insofar there's been a very ramped up effort to characterize 'zionist' as a slur so as to silence critics of the ideology, yeah.


you're saying zionists use zionism as a slur to subdue criticism of zionism? that's peak jew conspiracy.


No, I'm saying that (some) zionists characterise the use of 'zionist' as anti-semetic, more so today than in the past, but cool straw man.
