Israeli is not synonymous with Jewish, nor is Zionism. That's Israeli propaganda so the fascists can shut down criticism by claiming antisemitism. It's shameless and disgusting.
Actually by buying into the Zionist claim that "Israeli" is synonymous with Jewish you essentially reproduce the antisemitic claim that Jews are somehow foreign in their respective countries and belong somewhere else, ie. that a French Jew can't be just as French as their gentile neighbors and that the belong in some Jew-country.
And buying in to that idea of Jewish otherness furthers the goal of right wing fascist Israeli's of making the rest of the world so unsafe for Jews that they have no choice but to move to Palestine. This can be seen in Israel's easy cooperation with the Trump campaign and it's many anti-Semitic actors, as well as Israeli's collaboration with the American Religious Right, which is ruthlessly anti-Semitic but requires all Jews to return to Jerusalem in order to set off their apocalyptic fantasy of the end of the world.
Are Jewish-Americans living in California “Israelis”? Even if they have never visited Israel or have any connection to it whatsoever?
If not, it’s not synonymous with Jew
Israeli is synonymous with settler-citizen of the illegitimate Zionist entity, not a religious or ethnic group.
Otherwise saying “isntrael” would be a bigoted thing to say, and it isn’t. Neither is attacking Israelis as a group, as in, citizens of Israel
Ehh...kind of depends on the mode of "attack". Pretty xenophobic when done in many cases. The nation of Israel fucking sucks. Lots of working-class Israelis are good folks deserving of solidarity; especially those who are themselves engaging in anti-colonialist struggle against "their" apartheid state.
The nation of Israel is illegitimate and needs to be destroyed and decolonized and returned to the democratic control of the indigenous Palestinian majority
The only acceptable Israeli is one working to destroy their own nation. Same as Amerikkkans.
Agreed.
I'm not sure this is what working-class solidarity looks like. I agree that we should absolutely work to destroy these settler-colonialist states (and, in fact, state and capital in general). But I think I'll refrain from screaming at homeless mothers and the like because they're not able and willing to take the time off from trying to survive the systems of wage slavery and policing to go torch the nearest government building or whatever. I'd rather take a little more responsibility and organize to give people that opportunity than to try to heap blame onto them for its lack. As you will though, I guess.
This is just concern trolling pablum to defend Pissraelis
If you say so. Personally I'd say we agree in principle and simply disagree about useful rhetoric. Such minor differences over tactics don't seem to be worth calling comrades trolls, but whatever.
Concern trolling is primarily done through rhetorical and semantic quibbling while posing as a comrade…
You are just making the exact same argument Zionists make about how anything anti-Israel or anti-Israeli is automatically anti-Semitic because anti-Semitic people exist who are also anti-Israel. It’s a logical failure and one use to destroy Corbyn, leftwing spaces are pretty immune to this type of worried handwringing by now
Despite the fact that I am vehemently anti-Israel. Okay. Well, I'm done with this exchange. Go ahead and chew on your misdirected anger, I guess. Good luck.
Israelis don’t even believe “Israelis” is synonymous with “Jew”
Conflating israel with jews serves both anti-semites purposes and israeli fascists' purposes. Don't let anti-semites or the fascists in control of israel dictate language.
