I think you misread my intentions, I would never intentionally defend Zionists (Fascists), my focus was on whether or not bullying was an effective tactic to change a persons thinking, but I also don't believe someone that has gone full Fascist can be reached anyways. The other point having to do with it being more important to work together with Anti Fascists to put an end to the conditions that support Fascism even being a thing, and hence "reaching those that can be reached" (to organize with for fighting Fascism). And finally I want to mention that it isn't enough to point out Fascists being Fascists, "naming and shaming" doesn't make the problem go away, for that Capitalism needs to be over thrown (and it can be done again)
Bullying (or "calling out") is a very effective tactic to push fence-sitters off the fence. It's what Zionists have relied on all those years to prevent any discussion of their Apartheid.
This is how effective bullying fence-sitters is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qk7ouT38NyE
I struggle to pay attention to long videos (it's an hour long) unless I'm already interested in it already, so I'll take your word for it (pretty sure I have ADHD or something), on the other hand I'd love an article or a PDF file I can just read, the interaction of having to actively pay attention to read helps focus my attention, and so I can work through hundreds of pages of a PDF after maybe a good week, but an hour long video is a bit much.
As far as (so called) "isreal" goes, there existence is highly dependent on US support, more concrete action to disrupt anything going to them from the US, if successfully done, may be more effective at stopping their crimes against humanity. A successful Revolution would end the support completely, but perhaps there are ...illegal to say... sort of things that an organized effort could pull off in the mean time (though such things can't be safely discussed in a public forum.)
