    I mean … That statement itself isn’t just anti-zionist. You literally say a whole group of people should not exist. It’s only not technically racist because it’s a religious slant, not a racial one. It’s still hateful.

    I am pro-Palestinian, too. That doesn’t mean I think all Israelis should die.

      That’s completely ridiculous. How the hell do you get from “Israel doesn’t have a right to exist” to “all Israelis should die?” Israel is a state, saying it doesn’t have a right to exist is opposing the state, the same way if I said “Nazi Germany doesn’t have a right to exist” I’m not calling for everyone in Nazi Germany to be put to death, I’m calling for the elimination of the state.

      Nowhere does it say all Israelis should die, it says the nation doesn’t have a right to exist.

      Those are two different ideas. Like how Israel says Palestine doesn’t exist, and also commit genocide to its people. There are nations that don’t think Palestine exists and don’t do that. Same for Israel.

      Israel is a terrorist organization not a group of people.

      My statement is the literal definition of anti-Zionism.
