Disgusting comments like this normalised

So they know the difference between Zionist and Jew do they? Do they ask before they kill, which is obviously their aim. Could someone explain that please.

Also, they state there is nothing to condemn Hamas for. There's a lot of Palestinians (especially women) living for years under their extreme Sharia Law, male dominated regime who beg to differ.

At what cost?

This is just white washing.

It doesn’t take much intelligence to see the important difference between Zionist and Jew.
please reconsider your post.

I mean you could start conversations about other communities. There was a 1000
post thread just last week on mumsnet about how people don’t like Muslims with loads of people chiming in as to why they don’t like them. I can hardly imagine any other community being subject to that.

And to be honest a Zionist is a political identity - plenty of people identify as Zionists who are not Jewish and it does imply a political stance. Just like people can’t stand ‘Tories’ or ‘Lefties’ or ‘evangelical Christian right wingers’ or ‘Islamist’s’ they can’t stand ‘Zionists’. Probably because many who identify as such ascribe to the idea that Israel should be allowed to annihilate Palestinians and continually take their land and arrest their children and run torture and detention camps. So it’s pretty understandable that people are going to dislike you if you ascribe to that ideology.

And clearly, 'Zio' is being used as a thinly veiled cover word for Jew.

Social media is generally a cess pit. Never fails to amaze the things people write.

What I think is interesting and different about anti semetism is that the left wing are often the ones indulging in it, in a way they wouldn't dream of doing when it comes to other forms of racism. I find this particularly irritating as the left wing tend to frame themselves as having the moral high ground and that it's simply a manifestation of their superior humanitarianism. If you object to them, you are then portrayed as some sort of genocidal maniac.

That's an entirely separate discussion. If someone considers themselves a Zionist the only conclusion you can reasonably come to is that they support the existence of Israel. Trying to portray a Zionist as a bloody thirsty genocidal maniac is a ridiculous interpretation

This is really not the case.

All the term Zionist means is that someone supports the state of Israel to exist.

No form of racism, religiously motivated hate or other forms of hatred should be considered acceptable. I hope that whoever posted that was reported to the relevant social media platform and had their comment removed.

You’re right we don’t usually have a word like that and yet many Jewish people would describe themselves as Jews but not Zionists and of course there are many states that are not recognised by some but are by others. As I said upthread I was simply pointing out that the slang “zio “ was likely to be a shortening of Zionist. As you were.

I see countless UK run accounts like this. Hundreds of comments just like this.

Why? It's horrendous. How can we let this be said in Britain without any consequences?

You couldn't start conversations about other communities and not end up reported to the police.
