Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Isn't the goal of Zionism to form an ethno-state? That right there is my number one problem with this ideology. Is that any different then the KKK? Just you know, with Jewish people?
Ethno-states were all the rage in 19th-century Europe. Everywhere they got into power, they oppressed religious and ethnic minorities and in some cases resorted to ethnic cleansing. The usual result is a deracinated one-size-fits-all national identity based on some self-serving myths about the dominant group, with resultant loss of diversity in the face of coerced conformity.
And now you have Castilians putting the boot to Catalans, Basques and Galicians, Serbs shitting on Bosnian Muslims, Croats and anyone else who's not Serbian, everyone fucking with Roma people, Germans in the 20th century murdering Jews, Turks murdering Armenians and expelling ethnic Greeks, and so forth ad nauseam.
The Zionists are no different in this regard, except perhaps that more effort went into constructing a Jewish national identity after than wide cultural divergences that occurred in the Diaspora-- for example, reviving the Hebrew language, which hadn't been in household use among Jewish people for over two millennia (for example, people in Roman-occupied Palestine spoke Aramaic or koine Greek).
And if it hasn't been made abundantly clear: I despite ethno-nationalism and regard it as a proto-fascist ideology that has caused untold harm. Only the few countries that decoupled ethnicity from national identity (such as Scotland and some of the Northern Tier countries) have avoided becoming brainless dystopic hellholes.
You have my vote.
And my hacks.
They're nationalists, yes. Specifically early Zionists wanted to form a Socialist State.
That is, they're National Socialists.
