      I even consider Zionist not Jews finally.

      So now you are getting more racist. Political beliefs cannot change your race. Religion and culture can affect politics and vis versa but it mostly doesn’t. Stop equating israel and Judaism. It only makes you look ignorant and insult the large number of Jewish people who don’t support israel.

      also (I was gonna let it slide but you decided to double down on using bigoted language) nazism is a specific set of beliefs under the broader category of Fascism (all nazis are fascists but not all fascists are nazis) Its not really possible to be a Jewish or Muslim nazi. (unless you really hate yourself and your entire race or culture) There are fascists and supremacists of all types but nazism is specifically geared towards Germanic racial superiority. Even aryan Slavic people were deemed subhuman by nazis. neo-nazisim is less picky but still very anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim. Zionism is fascist but it isn’t nazi. Cake is desert but it isn’t jello.

          Thanks for changing that. I’m glad you aren’t a racist.

          I envy you on your skill with a non native language.

          Most conflict starts with a misunderstanding from a lack of clear communication. So precise use of language is the first step to avoiding conflict. The evolving nature of language makes this even harder.

          I apologise for my combative tone. The current struggles have given racists a foothold to push anti-Semitic ideas and they are making the most of it. These ideas need to be stomped out immediately to avoid them taking hold.

          In the last couple years (I was such an idiot and probably still am) I have learned that if somebody says you are saying something racist/sexist/homophobic/etc. they are almost always right and trying to defend what you said is always a mistake. It can be a big hit to the ego but don’t take it personally. We are all raised in cultures that shove bigotry in our brains our whole lives and its a lot of work to try to fix that. If you just apologise and ask how to not make the same mistake again people will be more than happy to help you be better. We are all in this fight against bigotry together.
