Zionism is literally the name of the ideology. That’s as much of a slur as calling an American a Capitalist.
And no. This isn’t just a war. This isn’t simply a reaction. Nothing justifies what they’re doing. The common person in Palestine didn’t ask for anything except for Israel to take its boot off their neck.
No, that’s a lie. Iran and its “Axis of Resistance” reject the existence of Israel, so they refuse to use its name, instead calling it the “Zionist state” as a slur.
Do not lie to me, and do not make excuses for antisemitism.
You can look it up, it’s really not any different than calling the US “the capitalist state”. In the first few years Israel officially adopted Zionism. Trying to make it sound like a slur against them is part of decades of propaganda to make Israel look like the victim while it pursues a project of colonialism no different than the British Empire at its worst.
Iran and its pawns refuse to call Israel “Israel”, using “Zionist state” as a slur. It would be like the USSR saying America doesn’t exist and only calling it the “capitalist state”.
The Palestinian claim to the area is rooted in their own colonialism; learn some history.
They’ve been there for thousands of years. Nobody gives a shit what happened thousands of years ago.
And the “doesn’t exist” thing makes no sense. Why would you shoot at something that doesn’t exist? Of course they know Israel exists. They don’t recognize it’s legitimacy.
Finally, repeating something doesn’t make it any more true. In fact repeating things that aren’t true is a propaganda technique to stick it in people’s heads.
Yeah, and the Jews were there before that. Welcome to history, where the people owning a land can change.
Fact is, Israel was formed on top of land owned by the Ottoman Empire, not the Palestinians. Britain won it as spoils of war, just like the Palestinians did long ago. Then the Palestinians went to war and lost again. It’s just not their land anymore.
If war is a legitimate way to gain land, then Israel legitimately exists and it legitimately owns Palestine.
Again, nobody cares where the jews were when the Roman Empire existed. In that logic we need to roll back the entirety of the last several hundred years. That’s patently ridiculous.
It’s also ridiculous to say Britain won it so now Isreal gets to exist, when the Irgun drove the British out. It’s doubly ridiculous because all of the other colonial projects from the early 1900’s have been devolved to the indigenous people. And no, you’re not indigenous to an area after living abroad for 2000 years. What makes this slice of the Ottoman empire special?

Iran denies the legitimacy of Israel. They say it doesn’t have any right to exist and their goal is to make it cease to exist, through genocide.
That is why, once again, refusing to call Israel “Israel” and instead calling it the “Zionist state” is a slur and a genocidal threat.
Repeatedly ignoring irrefutable facts is bullshit. Stop bullshitting.
