    The thing that gets me the most is that they all used to be fucking Canaanites. Some decided to declare themselves Israelites when they made up a religion not unlike Mormonism or fucking scientology. And that’s the only fucking distinction. Jewish Mormons or Jewish fucking scientologists is what it really fucking is. A made up fucking religion. Like ALL religions. Zionism was literally only made up so people who declared themselves Israelites could hurt others to get what they want. That’s it.
