    Probably because zionists are working so hard to keep the two terms synonymous. That’s not a justificatory reason to continue to actively support a genocidal state politically.

      Exactly: The State of Israel and its regime is one thing and the jewish religion a completely different one.

        Even more:

        Religion != Ethnicity != State != Government

        And that ethnicity is not only in this context incrisingly used as a stand-in for race…

          Religion != Ethnicity is only partially true in this case, though: The Jewish religion puts quite an effort to viewing all Jews as a singular nation and ethnicity.

          But the main sentiment still holds: It is not acceptable to hate Jews in general for the state of Israel committing a genocide.
