I know this to be true, but I have a hard time explaining it beyond that ignoring racism against a whole people IS racist. I think it’s a pity it even has to be explained because racism is all bad and needs to be rid of. Why acknowledge racism against one race, but then ignore racism against another?
Especially when people bring up the current worldwide attention on racism against Palestenians and Jewish people?
In that case, there is no need to demonstrate their hypocrisy or to try bridging from any other type of racism. Just say it how it is: Zionism is racist both in theory and in its historical movement because it relies on the belief in Jewish supremacy, in general but particularly over Arabs. The fact that it is racist is not at all contingent, it doesn’t depend on context of Jewish persecution. It is just racist.
Just my 2c. I don’t feel the need to acknowledge Zionists as victims in order to say that they are racist. Hope this isn’t coming across too blunt, I’m a bit tired.
