    Because your argument is rooted in Liberal Zionism.

    No, it’s rooted in an understanding of how harmful majority stereotypes are. You completely ignored the bolded sentence which was the one I identified as antisemitic, and instead focused on the first sentence, which I agreed was fine.

    80-90% of Jews in modern time are Zionists [FINE]. Zionism is the accurately representative of modern Judaism [ANTISEMITIC].

    You could safely reword it to something like “The majority of Jews support Zionism”. That would be accurate.

    Otherwise it’s no different from claiming something like “80% of gay men are promiscuous [made up statistic btw]” and then going on to state “Promiscuity is accurately representative of male homosexuality” as though it were true for every gay man.

      OP’s black-and-white thinking* leads him in these directions sometimes. He keeps getting mentions on c/meanwhileongrad despite not being a “tankie,” since dialectical materialism is the furthest thing from dichotomous thinking.
