That's the original simpler definition, but as with many words and phrases, time has changed the meaning in real world usage. Modern usage of the term should probably be referred to more as Revisionist Zionism, but everything gets simplified for modern short attention spans.

This is characterized by territorial maximalism and the idea that Israel should conquer more territory, at any cost. This is clearly the modem day Israeli government perspective. Settlements and the denial of Palestinian rights are a core part of Revisionist Zionism because of that. It is not compatible with a two-state solution, much less a one-state equal rights solution. Which is why it needs to be separated from general antisemitism.

I also have to say though that they've had nearly 80 years to figure this out with Israel being the de facto leadership because of British decisions post-war, maybe it's time that the Palestinians had a chance instead. It was those British decisions after all that took the land promised to the Palestinians for their assistance, to create Israel in the first place.

Here is everyone's nearly daily reminder that there is a difference between antisemitism and antizionism.

Criticizing the Israeli government and its leaders is not the same as criticising all Jewish people.

The Zionists want to conflate these things so they can hide in plain sight and have people that aren't paying attention defend their war crimes.

Never underestimate political apathy.

I don't understand how it's so popular in border specifically. Like Taco Bell I understand, that's not Mexican food, they don't claim to be Mexican food, it's gringo food, half the people I see at Taco Bell are Hispanic because that's a specific type of food different from everything else... But there's a Mexican place of some kind on nearly every corner in AZ. There's no reason to ever even consider Chipotle.

This is the type of thing that law firms will send without consulting their client first as soon as they were made aware as a default response, without considering any context to verify proper action. Which in most cases would be fine, but in this particular genre, because of shitty companies like Nintendo, can cause direct reputational harm.

It is Wizards of the Coast though, historically they're not much better, so this would be 100% believable coming from them on purpose.

Cults rarely survive a leader transition, especially ones based so fully around an individual rather than specific ideals. The cult will die, and the support will fracture, the underlying issues with the Republican party that allowed it will still be there.

That's mostly just Paris. The rest of the country is much more chill than those Parisian fucks.

Not to say you won't find them elsewhere, but the vast majority are in Paris.

That entire situation... anyone with a shred of brainpower put the blame on the helicopter. They have a lot more accurate equipment in their direct control compared to a commercial airliner or ATC. Not to mention they are much more maneuverable.

Fun fact, higher quality motors tend to be quieter as a side effect.

That will only deal with the SEC portion... it won't do anything for the civil suit at least.

I get where you're coming from, and agree in general.

But at the same time, those companies are always at the top historically. This coming from a Chinese company is different and that should be pointed out.

 

NASA and Boeing officials pushed back Friday on headlines that the commercial Starliner crew capsule is stranded at the International Space Station but said they need more time to analyze data before formally clearing the spacecraft for undocking and reentry.
