    You’re getting too hang up on the respect to the convinced Zionists, when my point is the disrespect to the weaselly pro-zionists. The former have zero. The latter are in the big negatives.

      Again i do understand but in my views the pro-zionists are not a completely lost bunch. I say this because i have made great progress with my mom, having turned her into a critic. I wish i could ignite the spark of solidarity but that remains to be seen. Another friend, while not really pro-zionist, was regurgitating zionist propaganda (“from the river to the sea, palestine shall be free” is calling for the genocide of jews) but he was willing to be challenged on that.

      So yes, i understand the anger that people are ignorant fools and thus tools but most people have been at some point in their lives and it is thanks to outside influence that we have been woken up.
