If you refer to the Muslim man in the bomb vest as a terrorist its fine, if you refer to all muslim men as terrorists its a slur.

Refering to Israeli generals and politicians as Zionists is fine, If you refer to all Jewish people as Zionists…

I figured zionism had to do with an ideology, not a profession. Generalisations like these are not helping.

Falsehood is fruitless from the start so don’t worry, Truth always prevails as they say

Meanwhile, nobody has attempted to give a definition. Lots of downvotes all around though. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Nobody is referring as all Jews as zionists. Actually it’s zionists and Israel defender who want you to believe that anti zionism is anti Judaism
