    @ arthurdecco (yum, yum, a tasty morsel)

    "Zionism is by definition, racist."

    -- whose definition, arthurdecco? Bring your "definition," please.

    "Then there’s the fact that at the epicenter of Zionism’s obsessions is Israel"

    -- that's a "fact"? don't you need to establish that "obsessions" is a factual descriptive term here, or else drop it, and leave the rather unremarkable statement that "at the epicenter of zionism is Israel," which would indeed be true "by definition"?

    "a ‘warmongering’ culture if there EVER was one"

    -- compared to what, Arthur?

    "a culture built from the bricks and blocks of Zionism’s fractured principles"

    -- would you tell us what zionism's principles are fractured forms of, please?

    "and a delusional sense of deserved entitlement."

    -- compared to what sense of deserved entitlement that you would accept is not delusionsal? Who has this sense and, why is it not delusional in their cases?

    Always a bad mix.

    -- you have other instances of this combination of nonsense that allow you to speak as connoisseur of it?
