    Where did you pick up that Chomsky would be a Zionist? He’s actively working against the Apartheid Regime in multiple of his books

      He is anti BDS and supports the “right of Israel to exist”. That’s the definition of Zionism.

      Like a true Liberal Zionist he does minor criticism but refuses to acknowledge that Israel shouldn’t exist.

        Zionism is to argue “the people of the jewish faith and the state of Israel are the same thing”, which he very much wasn’t a fan of.

        And the state of Israel has a right to exist, it just shouldn’t get special treatment and a different rulebook than anyone else.

          The state of Israel has no right to exist, as it is a genocidal settler colony on stolen land. Palestine should have its original land returned.

          Zionism is to argue that Jews deserve an ethnostate called Israel and it is based on Jewish surpremacism.

          Israel has no right to exist and should not exist.

          And the state of Israel has a right to exist

          Why should a genocidal European settler-colonial state have a right to exist in West Asia?
