There’s no reason to assume that ancient israel was any less evil than ancient rome.

Furthemore, that doesn’t define judaism. There were thousands of years before and after roman conquest. Zios focus on the roman empire because that’s their shitty justification for genocide, theft, etc.

This isn’t any more fucked up than the genocide of native americans for example. Unfortunately there’s nothing special about empire genociding people. But I don’t think these zios are lobbying for native american rights, because zios are genociders.

Lastly this doesn’t have much to do with “religion” versus “sucularism”. Zionism was largely founded by the non-religious. It’s goals are not religious but purely political/genocidal. The most “religious”/spiritual jews largely reject the zionist regime. Religion is a tool of empire, but the more fundamental problems are empire, colonialism, racism, etc.
