Zionism is the inevitable result of pursuing the imperialist project of "Western civilization."
The danger in platforming anti-Zionist right wingers that happen to have the right position on Israel is that many of them are also actually antisemitic.

Americans are paying 11% more for electricity than they were at the beginning on this year.
