They're saying that in the same way terrorist is not always a slur but is used as a slur sometimes, Zionist can be used as a slur. I think it's a fair take. It's odd to specifically list Zionist as a contextual slur when you can just say no slurs.
I don't know if I fully agree but that's their argument as I understand it.
Edit: Idk why people are down voting me trying to explain someone's argument.
If you refer to the Muslim man in the bomb vest as a terrorist its fine, if you refer to all muslim men as terrorists its a slur.
Refering to Israeli generals and politicians as Zionists is fine, If you refer to all Jewish people as Zionists...
Nobody is referring as all Jews as zionists. Actually it's zionists and Israel defender who want you to believe that anti zionism is anti Judaism
I figured zionism had to do with an ideology, not a profession. Generalisations like these are not helping.
Falsehood is fruitless from the start so don't worry, Truth always prevails as they say
Yup, that's it.
