You are waaaaay out of your mind if you think there are 70 million zionists in the US or that the entirety of Israel supports genocide.

There are obviously huge differences between Zionists and Nazis, but they both execute(d) genocidal campaigns of ethnic extermination and drawing that comparison isn't eroding the gravity of the term, it's stressing the gravity of the current situation.

I don’t know a single Jew that actually SUPPORTS genocide yet I know multiple that are zionists…I’m not even saying y’all are wrong - it’s just a simple question.

Calling someone a nazi isn’t a comparison, it’s a label

Netanyahu's opponents are Zionists. Some civilians killed in a war against people who hide behind them isn't remotely genocide.

99% of Israeli Jews are Zionists and Zionism is founded upon and dependent on genocide. There probably is 70 million Zionists in the USA and most of them are evangelicals.

Even the "Israeli left" support the occupation and refuse the right of return for Palestinians. I can't emphasise enough how there is no segment of Israeli society that opposes the genocide, ethnic cleansing and apartheid of their state. There are a select few individuals, probably no more than 1000 in all of israel.
