@emptywheel When the hell did the term 'Zionist' migrate from islamists into the mainstream?

@lisalunu Huh. You're suggesting Zionist doesn't have a 115 year history? -
@emptywheel No, it's just odd to hear the word in high profile from someone not also calling for the death off all Jews in the same breath. -
@lisalunu Funny. Most I've learned about Zionism I learned from an Israeli academic. He wasn't calling for death of all Jews either. -
@emptywheel. Whether the negative usage is a malapropism or not, I was commenting on how seldom I've seen it used in a positive light. -
@lisalunu I'd suggest you read a bit more about the term. It can BOTH be negative, meaningful, AND not imply a wish for all Jews to die. -
@emptywheel I've got a good working knowledge. But I still believe the word is being hijacked by the islamist radicals. -
@lisalunu That may be your belief. You are entitled to your belief regardless of what the history and the general usage is. - 2 more replies
