And it's like . . . I don't know who you think you're fooling with all this. It's genuinely baffling.
When I hear Zionist or Zionism, I make the exact same face as when a white person uses the world "colored". It's not different because they've dressed it up what they think is gentler verbiage. It's just as bad. They're just convincing themselves it's not.
And the giveaway is easy. All they have to say is "We're anti-Likud." Easy. And everyone would understand the scope and the point right away. Anti-Zionism runs deeper. They know what they're angling for - the destruction of Israel and all the consequences for Middle Eastern Jews that would follow.
That's not a bug. That's the feature. Even if they're in denial about it. Qatar and friends didn't plow billions into American academia for no reason.
