Do most people see nuance with the Nazis? I suggest you talk to some Gen Z people as they most definitely view Zionists as Nazi equivalent. A view I think most of the non-Western world also holds.

I have Gen Z friends.

Some of them do. They’re concentrated in a few cities. (Principally New York.)

Most of them see the back and forth and minority of extremists in each camp not representing the others. (There are more than two factions at play before we even figure on the international elements.)

Most of the non-Western world doesn’t know what Zionism is because it’s irrelevant to them.

Ukraine was my pet war. I had to fight the tendency to reduce every geopolitical and domestic political issue through it. Because it’s not true. We aren’t abandoning Ukraine because of some Russia conspiracy, we’re abandoning it because most voters care much more about pocketbook issues.
