I'm confused. What about this relates to zionism? Like all I see is a dipshit getting beat up, but everyone is seems to make this a goddamn ethnic issue.
Like not all israelis are necessarily zionist, people don't choose where they are born. And the gun guy doesn't seem to have done anything to indicate nationality or ideology. Help me out here.
"zionism" isn't an ethnic issue, it's a fascism issue
Well, yes but that's not the thing mentioned. Like that's the thing I find weird here. All talk is about the guy being israeli and the other guys mexican. I may be missing some context but zionism does not seem to be brought up.
The people who were present called him a Zionist. He had Hebrew tattooed on him and pulled a pistol, I think without details to the contrary I believe the witnesses.
Also just the whole pulling a gun and then putting it down just screams IDF
ig, that's an answer. tbh, didn't get that much of what was going on in the video. twitter is such a strange place anyway.
Twitter is a cesspool
the context is provided by the tweet claiming they were israeli. sure that could be false, but it is believable in the context of very rude, even violent stories we've been seeing about israeli tourists in many countries. an israeli who does not believe in zionism probably isn't the kind to pull guns while on vacation
Yeah, but at this point we're just doing weird predjudice games. Maybe that's what's bothering me. Like, I'm not saying that the state of israel isn't an issue, but there are careful distinctions to be made.
