Have you tried not conflating Judaism and genocidal zionist maniacs with one another? Because it's actually really easy if you spend more than a second thinking about it.

>Have you tried not conflating Judaism and genocidal zionist maniacs with one another? You really must exercise the principle of charity and use it to *actually read and try to understand things* before commenting on them. Do you really think a Jewish author would argue that we *should* conflate Judaism and genocide? Of course not. You've invented an argument that not only no one has made but that no one *could ever* make, which should clue you in that you're barking up the wrong tree. The point made here - as you know perfectly well - is that people fall into easy rhetorical traps that in practice *do* conflate Jews not (just) with genocidaires, but with 'Zionists', and that at the extremes some people go on to attack innocent Jews because of such rhetoric. The author cites several examples of people doing this. It falls on the rest of us to be careful with our language.
