He's an ardent zionist.
Is he?
Independent
Brussels Morning
So not exactly anti-zionist, but I wouldn't call it "ardent" zionism, either.
He seems to have a more balanced/nuanced approach, which may still be intolerable to some people.
But for anyone who supports a two-state solution, his position seems reasonable
Give me a break with this bullshit apologism.
Liberal zios blaming netanyahoo is just more zionism. The "two state solution" is a common zio distraction that nobody believes or wants. Etc.
His talking points are literally the two biggest talking points for lib zios to dishonestly hide behind.
Let me know when this creep disavows the actual problem.
Do you know what "ardent" means?
Because what I said is that "ardent" doesn't describe his position on zionism.
If you want to argue that his zionism is indeed ardent, go ahead and do so. That's not what I see though.
Calling for an end to the genocide is enough in my opinion, even if he doesn't support the wholesale dismantlement and dissolution of the state of Israel.
If that's your preferred solution though, then I'd ask what your plan is for all the people who were born and raised there, whose parents were born and raised there, and who have no other home, nationality, or passport in the world.
Until you give me a good answer to that, I can't take your dismissal of the two-state solution seriously. Any one-state solution is asking for "survival of the fittest." And well, we've already seen how that plays out.
I favor peace, diplomacy, multi-lateralism, and rules-based order, personally.
Non-zionist jews constitute less than 5% of jews so it's not a surprise to see a shapiro wish for genocide. But man... treating americans like morons has limits.
Really?
So according to a variety of sources, including both Israeli and Palestinian sources as well as independent ones, you're just... wrong.
And the funny thing is, what you're saying is actually anti-semitic. I know that word sounds hyperbolic now because of how it's been misused, but it actually applies in this case.
That's absolutely not true, who are you counting?
Now do evangelicals...
That’s just cheating.
Pick any odious position on any issue, and evangelicals will back it. Bonus points if it leads to their fun wrap party (apocalypse).
