Right back to those who would pit us against each other to prevent us pitting ourselves against them to stop them.
It's worse than that.
The zionist project is fundamentally a laboratory of oppression, the cutting edge of what the powerful can be allowed to do yo the weak.
Every oligarch and every zionist must die for humanity to have a future.
I do wish we'd stop using the word "zionist" for the mass murdering supremacist crooks.
It gets a baby thrown out with the bathwater.
Zionist can mean just someone who wants their nation be paradise, and to have the right to help make it so. I'd not want to deny that right to anyone. All the false flags, collective punishment, rape policy, genocide, supremacy, expansionism, jingoism, corruption, etc, is not intrinsic to the word with that interpretation of it.
... Similar to how various crooks (sometimes other crooks) want themselves called "globalists".
These are soft peddled terms they want to be called, as it does not call them out for their crimes.
But I know that's an uphill climb to undo that Orwellianism [not just because their list of crimes are so numerous it's a more than a mouthful]. Like trying to take the swastika back from its perverted use. We really must cease using the language of the oppressor, and cease letting them appropriate all language and symbology into their vile murk, poisoning it all, and putting that poison in our mouths or silencing us with it, depriving us of emancipatory expressions and ideas as they get inverted and conflated..
[Edit: Also, vitally, no one needs to die. That's opposaming. From one totalitarianised mindset to another, still excusing atrocities as necessary virtues. "Normal people save everybody." -- Paige to Walter O'Brian when he arrogantly capped the possibility at a lesser "greater good" presuming it the best possible. The dead don't learn. Death lets them off. There's always a better way. Let (and help) the rotten ideas die. Save the people, punish and reform the criminals. Heal them of the splinter in their paw. Don't become them.]
What would you prefer calling them?
Covered several good examples already in the post you're replying to. Redundant question.
