Amos @amosduveen.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Spot on. This motion relies on a piece of linguistic chicanery. By setting a very narrow & not particularly widespread* definition of "Zionism", they are trying to undermine perfectly reasonable Jewish people. * Widespread in the further reaches of left bloc politics, but, crucially, not elsewhere. 010
