      I don’t know what “sionisom” is but to answer your question. Nazi, is a good way to describe a genocidal facist. The Nazis do appear to have aligned with Zionist in modern times. Nazism and Zionism are very similar because they both have goals to create a white ethnostate. The brand of nazism we are seeing in the United States is targeting and scapegoating (hallmark of Nazism) the homeless, and Latino communities. People are being disappeared off the streets without due process or accountability. In Germany the worst concentration camps were on foreign soil during the holocaust so the United States shipping people to Africa and El Salvador should worry even the most skeptical critic. RFK has talked openly about sending people with mental illness to camps. He also has openly made blanket statements about autistic people not having a life worth living.

        Except the word nazi denotes and is defined by the hate of Jews.

        You might say that sionists and nazis are similar, but they are categorically different. Or it would be slightly self-destructive as a Jewish state to want to exterminate all Jews, dont you think?

            Nazism is a form of fascism, identifying ethnic Germans as part of what the Nazis regarded as a Nordic Aryan master race.

            Lots of ethnic Germanic folks in Israel, to be sure. Yes, this is sarcasm.

            It’s funny to compare the definitions of nazism in English versus Swedish though. It would appear that English speaking really want to shift what nazi means, rather than have zionism be its own term with similar meaning.

            Direct translation from the Swedish version

            Nazism is part of fascist ideologi. It made the claim that certain races of human had greater value than others. The “Aryan race” and the Germanic peoples were seen as the highest in the racial hierarchy. The “enemy race” were the so-called untermenschen (subhumans), who were often called “the masses from the East”, which mainly included Jews, Slavs, Poles and Roma, but also the disabled and homosexuals. [

            It would be like calling the Japanese during world war 2 nazis. It’s just silly.

              It would appear that you really want to shift the conversation to the exact definition of the word “Nazi”, rather than have people talk about facists and the problems there of.
