If there is one thing that really bothers me about Truthers are their frequent terrible misconceptions about Zionism, Israel, Jews, etc. It pains me to see so many young people in the USA get brainwashed into classical neo-nazi and white supremacist ideologies.
Somoene at the Loose Change forum started a new thread simply asking "what is a Zionist?" I responded that it is simply someone, be it a Jew, Christian, Muslem, Buddhist, who believe that a Jewish State should exist in Palestine. There are no goals of world domination, no inherent hatred of gentiles, no need to destroy Islam.
I dont know how folks there will respond to me. Im sure many of them have been spoon fed anti-semitic beliefs about the Talmud, Jesus, Zionist goals of controlling the world, etc..and it will therefore be hard to get through to some of them. But maybe some of them can be reasoned with.
Any suggestions?
