   The door swings both ways, I’m sure. There are many in this world that think that the only good Arab…well…you know the rest.

   I wouldn’t know about racism or fascism. The point I am trying to make is that hatred is hatred. You (apparently) hate the Zionists; the Zionists hate you. Both mentalities display a superiority complex. I don’t see much of a difference here.

   Dear David, what is zionism? is it the simple right claimed by Jews to live in Palestine? if that is the case, those zionists could’ve just migrated to Palestine and lived there in peace with Christians and Muslims but that is not the case, it is not what happened and obviously this is not zionism.

   Last time I checked zionism is about haveing exlusive rights for the land, with the package also comes ethnic cleansing and a sick belief of superiority. I’ve never heard of an Arab claiming superiority over other races, so please do not throw false accusations, on the other hand, zionists do believe they are better than others, chosen? it is their business not mine but if they want to claim superiority please make it in morals and ethics. There is a reason why Palestinian hate zionists, but there’s no reason why zionists do.

   Feel free to enlighten us on what is zionism if you believe it is not what I’ve described above, but preferably give me some resources. Please understand that we all want peace, but for 58 years now we haven’t seen it coming true, and I highly doubt we’ll ever do as long as justice is not served. Stick to the green line, do not allow new migrants, do not demolish Palestinians houses to build Jewish ones, is that too much to ask for?

   I don’t support the Zionist mentality and I definately don’t agree with ethnic cleansing or attitudes of racial superiority. I’m not claiming that Arabs and Zionists are equal. And I’m not here to determine whether Zionism is right or fair.

   What I am addressing is the following statement: “The only good Zionist is a dead Zionist”. These words illustrate feelings of hatred, superiority, exclusivity and “ethnic” cleansing (it can’t be “ethnic” because Zionism isn’t a race, but more of a “religious” or “belief-system” cleansing). So the point I am trying to make is that the above statement appears to be exactly what you claim to hate in Zionism.

   David, no that statement did not hint to a desire of killing zionists, it simply means what it says, the mentality of zionists make them bad, there’s no good and bad zionists unless you have another definition of zionism I haven’t heard of before, you are most welcomed to share with us.
