      Zionism has two different meanings in how Germans use the word.

      1. The state of Israel has a right to exist.
      2. Israel has the right to be a jewish apartheids-ethnostate that actively controls it’s non-jewish population.

      Habeck falls firmly in the first category and stands firmly against the second one. He called the “Settlers” terrorists and heavily criticized the Israeli government. He called out brutality and that the Netanyahu government has created a different Israel than the one Germany should support.

      He says the necessity exists for a state where jews can live in safety, that is a far cry from “Israel should be a jewish state”.

        They’re the same thing.

        If Israel is not #2, then what is it? A liberal democracy where all have equal rights? A country that allows Arabs to become the majority population? That allows them not just freedom of movement and basic human rights but also to hold positions of influence in government, industry, and culture?

        At that point a country that operates in that way might be called Isreal but has a fundamentally different identity and purpose from the country that exists today. At that point does it make sense for the flag to continue to have a Star of David on it?

        In what way does Israel preserve its “right to exist” if not through being an apartheid ethnostate?

            Uhh oh, no, I haven’t answered within 9 hours, please excuse me for having a job and sleeping.

            I’m thinking dude. Fitz has made some good points and I don’t want to brush that off, so now I’m thinking about his arguments, formulating my own opinion, formulating and double-checking my own arguments and all that while I’m at my day job. So PISS OFF with that crickets shit back to the .ml-Sever you crawled from!

            Demanding a quick answer is not the measure of a great intellect OR of a good argument. People need to take their time and think instead of just screaming at each other.

            Edit: Sorry I snapped. Just… give me some time dude, life’s happening at the same time.

              sorry to cause you stress; i had checked and saw you posted several comments elsewhere well after it, so i assumed that you weren’t planning to reply to @Fitzsimmons@lemmy.blahaj.zone’ comment.

              i am glad to hear you’re actually considering the points in it, and i look forward to reading your reply if/when you have time to write one.

          I think the topic attracted mainly feddit.org users and most of us still know what nuance means and how Israel and Zionism are discussed in the german speaking world. shrug

          But yes, I am glad too, because I have been heavily downvoted in the past on that topic. And while downvotes can be a good indicator of if one has a shittake, sometimes the purity-testing of my fellow lemmings just completely throws nuance out the window.

      Well, I believe too that Israel, in general, has a right to exist (though not to break its own laws or to harm others for the sake of it, as its current far right government does) and hence have been called a Zionist too.
