Old Zionism is good Zionism. Most of my life, Zionism was seen as good. After the atrocities of wwii, it was quite reasonable to support a Jewish state where they could defend themselves. For the next half century as various surrounding countries vowed to destroy them and kill them all, Zionism as the goal of a Jewish homeland seemed like a good thing.
But now Zionism is the aggressor, rather than defender, the perpetrator rather than victim. They have their own country to defend themselves and it’s mostly accepted by their neighbors but wtf are they doing to Palestinians? How can they not look back on their own history to wwii and not be horrified by what they’ve become?
Zionism has never been good
The nakba was in 1948. So Nazis would be okay if they only did a nakba and then stretched it out over 60 years? US middle school explanation
OP is saying they used to be better at managing media narratives that made them out to be the good guys. Social video of genocide is hard to hasbara over, but so is very naked political extremist speech. They used to be better at appearing reluctant to do offensive operations.
