Equating Zionism with Nazism/Fascism is ignorant, historically inacurate and hateful.

    Great argument.

    Apartheid in South Africa meant no civil rights for black people, no political representation, but separated public spaces. Arabs in Israel have the same civil right as all Israelis, the can vote and they have several parties in the parliament. No public places are ethnically separated.

    Israel is not an Apartheid, that’s an (empirical) fact.

    Arabs in Israel are equal by law. The have representatives in the parliament. I’m not trying to deny that Israel is heavily racist in politics and societal, but so is every other country and every other democracy and it doesn’t make Israel not a democracy. Even though it’s democracy is under attack by right wing Likud, but that’s also true for literally every European country.

    Hate Israel all you want, rightfully so, but the comparison with Nazi Germany is historically inaccurate and politically wrong. Israel is a democracy and not an authoritarian dictatorship. Israel has a problem with right-wing politician and general racism, but so does every western country. The ongoing genocide is a horrible tragedy, but it’s neither Auschwitz nor Warschau. All this comparison does is diminishing actual fascism, Nazism and the Holocaust. And the conparison takes the credibility of everyone doing it.
