So you call someone who is pro-Israel a "zionist extremist, twisted, sick, defending terrorism, and a Nazi in sheep's clothing?"
I defend Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state. I don't see how this makes me a Nazi.
I oppose Palestinian terrorism. I oppose Israeli terrorism too, but most of what you call "state terrorism" are actually self-defense actions by the IDF. I have found most claims of Israeli "terrorism" to be false or overblown.
Do you support Israel's right to exist as a secular democracy with rights for all AND as the national homeland for all Jews?
Do you EQUALLY oppose the illegal occupations of Tibet by Red China? How about the illegal occupation of Lebanon by Syria? how about Cypress? Kashmir?
Weren't Jordan and Egypt illegally occupying the West Bank and Gaza prior to 1967? How come no one (not even the Palestinians) complained then?
Singling out Israel for the charge of illegal occupation smacks of anti-semiticism. Especially when you consider that the Jewish people have had a continuous presence on this land for over 3000 years.
For the occupation to be illegal, Israel would have had to have violated UN resolution 242 passed right after the 1967 war. This resolution called for Israel to withdraw from territories (not ALL territories) as soon as a peace treaty between all parties could be reached. Israel has made such a treaty with Jordan AND Egypt. They have repeatedly tried with the Palestinians, only to have the Palestinians reject them every time. Hence no ILLEGAL occupation.
Are you interested in what the truth is?
