77. Zionist and Jew is NOT the same!
Sheez, how hard it that to comprehend?? Political Zionism did not exist until the late 19th century. That has zero to do with theology, which I couldn't give a shit about, being an atheist and all. Why do you think Theodor Herzl holds such an important place in the history of Israel? He wasn't regurgitating some religious thing - he came up with something completely new, which was political Zionism. Likewise, I don't give a shit what someone on an internet forum insists is the Arab understanding of the terms Jew and Zionist. My guess is they know jack-shit about any Arab understanding..

I see. Attack Desmond Tutu because he actually does know what apartheid is and recognises that it's happening in the Occupied Territories. The PLO recognised Israel's right to exist. Refer to the Oslo Accords...

How on earth is it aggressive to be the people that are occupied by a powerful military? It's the Palestinians who are occupied and stateless, not the other way round...

This may come as a rude awakening, but there have been negotiations in the past, and the Palestinians lose more and more each time. And there doesn't seem to be a whole lot happening now in regards to the West Bank except for Israeli garbage dumps sprining up in violation of international law...

Homicide bombers? How Faux! How not surprising! ;)
