How the Discourse on Zionism Has Been Rendered Perilous

Twitter has - for some reason unknown to us - suspended @degendering’s account (before 2021-01-09).

There’s so much more to be said about this. this thread is literally the tip of the iceberg. but I hope it’s been illustrative of how deeply and dangerously connected, and well mobilized, zionist messaging and organizing truly is.
another note:
Although much of this work is somewhat clandestine, none of this is the function of conspiracy, and it has been largely produced through institutions & practices devised by non-jews. this is not ~~~jewish conspiracy. that shit does not exist.
It is pure, simple capitalism.
