"Zionism is when you don't want the wholesale dissolution of an entire country"

That one's going in the .ml hall of fame, thanks

The precise origins of the phrase are disputed. According to the American historian Robin D. G. Kelley, the phrase "began as a Zionist slogan signifying the boundaries of Eretz Israel."

The Israeli-American historian Omer Bartov notes that Zionist usage of such language predates the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 and began with the Revisionist movement of Zionism led by Ze'ev Jabotinsky, which spoke of establishing a Jewish state in all of Palestine

And the indigenous reclaiming or reappropriating words and phrases totally never happened in history, ever. "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" is fundamentally different from "between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty". Notice how the Euroanglo-Zionazis never utter the former phrase.

Understand that the former phrase is more than just a reappropration to the latter, but a call for the liberation of indigenous land from occupation by settler-colonialists. It's no dogwhistle, and it is very crystal clear what it means: not one inch for Euroanglo-Zionazis.

Likewise, it's very crystal clear what Euroanglo-Zionazis mean with their Lebensraum ass phrase: total wipeout of indigenous land and its people in favor of Euroanglo-Zionazis.

Well yes that is directly what happened. Both Israeli and Arabic are fundamentally not English languages, so the phrase "From the river to the sea" is always a translation.

The Palestinians saw the Israelis using the phrase and hijacked it, finishing it differently as a form of resistance. What many people get wrong though is that they claim only the first part of the phrase is already against Israel, while that part of the slogan was invented by Israel.

Unless there’s something about Israel in particular that you especially don’t like

Not a big fan of the genocide.

Yeah, their genocide is active.

Moron.

Nazi Germany didn't have a right to exist, nor did Apartheid South Africa, nor Rhodesia.

People have a right to exist.

Apartheid has no right to exist. Genocide has no right to exist. Ethnic cleansing has no right to exist.

You can either prioritize that people have a right to exist, or that an ethnosupremacist state committed to ethnic cleansing of native populations has the right to exist.

That is the situation. You are clearly choosing the latter. Maybe because there's something in particular about the people being exterminated that you especially don't like but aren't willing to say in public?

recognizing the slogan as a Zionist invention

Clipping off the bit about freedom is a Zionist framing, certainly. But when every expression of Palestinian solidarity is criminalized, there's little to be gained in a debate about "framing". At this point, "Death to Israel" is a perfectly valid and legitimate sentiment. The state is rotten to the core, from its corrupt fascist parliament to its bloody-fisted imperial expansion.

Pretending that "Israel has a right to exist" is any different than some Boer slogan championing White South Africa or a Neo-Confederate rallying cry for the restoration of America's slave-owning past is what really plays into the Zionist's hands.

Hmmnope. Replacing it with Russia, or Trump, or whichever political entity didn't make it any less political for me.

Let's face it: this post does vaguely concern a tech company - in the sense that it wants to highlight the political opinion or quote of a figurehead of a tech company.

So tell me honestly - is this mostly about tech news, or is it mostly about politics?
