    This is how he “makes direct appeal to conflicted Muslim voters”?

    But the expansion of Israel and its proxies is an absolute, fundamental necessity for the United States to have the steady leadership there.

    I mean after this muslim Americans should be less conflicted about not voting for the selfadmitted Greater Israel supporters, sure.

            Greater Israel is a specific idea within zionism, zionism on steroids. While it’s definitely what Israel is going for, most zionists at least officially don’t espouse it because they still to try to pose as defending side etc. etc. So “Greater Israel supporter” is even worse than just “ordinary” zionist.

            He’s not only a zionist, he’s turbozionist, and all the blue maga here should turn into corncobs

              OK. Zionism is a settler colonial project by definition. Its necessarily racist.

              So anyone who is a Zionist believes that they are superior than the indigenous population that they genocide or displace. Therefore, its hard to imagine a Zionist who doesn’t want to steal more land from the people around them who they think are lesser people.

              I mean, I guess there’s a sliver of folks that justify historic misdeeds, but its easy to see that the majority of Zionists would fall under this “greater Israel” ideological umbrella.

              So my point is, just call him a Zionist and be done with it.
