Being a Nazi is not only not banned in most countries, in some like the US it's explicitly legal (i.e. "Freedom of Speech"). That said, it is (kinda) banned in Germany, yet they are still around over here, because you can't ban people from believing in stuff.
All a state can do is to try and prevent them from gaining too much traction, and I do not feel like Zionism has all that much tbh. Israel's recent actions are very unpopulat in the west, even though most people are not even affected by them in the slightest. Many of the people who protest them probably have no direct connection to Israel or Gaza. So what's the goal of a ban even?
I can only speak for Germany, but here an Israeli sniper and alledged murderer fled the country, bacause he is being persecuted for warcrimes, i.e. the murder of civilians. You also cannot call for the extermination of anyone without riscing consequences. This does not prevent people from being Nazis, Zionists or anything else. It just sanctions them for publicly expressing it.
'All a state can do is to try and prevent them from gaining too much traction, and I do not feel like Zionism has all that much tbh.'
Are you serious? Just look around you ffs.
also because legally buying land in, and migrating back to, a country from which your descendants came is not a crime
Buying a house is legal, but annexing and building on occupied territory is illegal according to international law.
Unless a Palestinian tries to do it, of course.
if you frame it that way, no, but if you take into account the open terrorism of irguin, the murders and ethnic cleansing of the nakba, 80 years of apartheid and casual killing, and the genocide since 2023, its all crimes for 80 years. So try again with the framing of the problem.
can you remember what the arabs did that started all that?
"The arabs"
You know you're a fascist when you think an entire race of people are an undifferentiated hivemind who share collective guilt and can be collectively punished. Also justifying genocide and terrorism with "they started it!"
Found the zionist! You need to read up on the history of Palestine, rather than echo israeli hasbara.
Try 'A Very Short History of the Israel-Palestine Conflict' by Ilan Pappe to start 🙂.
i know you read this book many times so could you quote something from it that disproves anything i said?
Yes I can. Do you drive a volkswagen, btw?
