No, that’s a lie. Iran and its “Axis of Resistance” reject the existence of Israel, so they refuse to use its name, instead calling it the “Zionist state” as a slur.
Do not lie to me, and do not make excuses for antisemitism.
You can look it up, it’s really not any different than calling the US “the capitalist state”. In the first few years Israel officially adopted Zionism. Trying to make it sound like a slur against them is part of decades of propaganda to make Israel look like the victim while it pursues a project of colonialism no different than the British Empire at its worst.
Iran and its pawns refuse to call Israel “Israel”, using “Zionist state” as a slur. It would be like the USSR saying America doesn’t exist and only calling it the “capitalist state”.
The Palestinian claim to the area is rooted in their own colonialism; learn some history.
They’ve been there for thousands of years. Nobody gives a shit what happened thousands of years ago.
And the “doesn’t exist” thing makes no sense. Why would you shoot at something that doesn’t exist? Of course they know Israel exists. They don’t recognize it’s legitimacy.
Finally, repeating something doesn’t make it any more true. In fact repeating things that aren’t true is a propaganda technique to stick it in people’s heads.
