  On the other hand, if all zionists were like Zohan then the middle east would be a much more pleasant place.

    It’s a horrible movie that is

    1. not funny; ok that’s subjective but I really don’t think Adam Sandler is funny independently of his political views
    2. reduces crimes against humanity such as genocide, colonialism and apartheid to "people just need to get along“ which is a common liberal Zionist narrative to whitewash said crimes

      I certainly recognise the argument that the film was zionist propaganda. I’m just highlighting that Sandlers public zionism is quite liberal.

      I’ll take a 1947 border zionist over a 2025 settler zionist any day.

        Yeah I get that but we just have to move past Zionism as a concept because the genocide is not a mishap of some bad apples, it’s the logical consequence of the Zionist ideology and any genocial ideology must simply be rejected as a whole.
