    Then don’t be that guy. You’re quoting a Zionist source that is desperately trying to redefine Zionism in real time. Zionism is colonizing Palestinian land and building that joke of a country on top of it. Zionism is a colonization project.

    (And no, all Jews are not Zionists, but the Zionists are very happy to try and conflate the two as much as possible.)

      Easy, just call the Anne Frank house “Zionist” and devalue whatever the say.

        Anne Frank is no longer alive and anyone using her name to give themselves unearned political legitimacy is a monster.

          Are you kidding me? The Anne Frank House is a fucking museum in memory of Anne Frank. Your allegations are not only absolutely baseless, but an insult to Anne Franks legacy.

            How is this Anne Frank’s legacy? Did she advocate for this during her lifetime? She was killed by people seeking to establish an ethno-state, so how does “her legacy” involve defending the desire for an ethno-state? Even if she had been an advocate of a Jewish state, would her fate automatically sanitise those views? Does the violence done to her justify the violence done to others? Do we need to agree with the convictions of everyone who fell victim to atrocities?

            Or is this someone parading her corpse around as shield against criticism? Should I pick a victim of genocide too, so we can both bludgeon each other with the names of dead people in some fucked up battle of Pokémartyrs?

            Leave Frank out of this. She has suffered enough. This is our conflict to fight with our arguments.
