They flatten the category into Zionists or Israelis (or whatever) which eliminates any analysis of what power an individual actually holds by claiming the group holds the power which is generally true by tautology. Random staffers may have "power" relative to you or me but they have no institutional power. Yes, in theory, they could, but the institution is setup to remove them if they attempt to be "part of the solution" which reduces their range of action significantly.
These type of dudes who take no action but insist others do try to make it "easy" and so never actually target the real power or those "directly responsible" until the actions they're calling for have no effect on power except to increase it and/or harm individuals who people can get "physical access" to. It's the same whether they're advocating you murder CEOs who would be replaced by their boards or meaningless staffers who would be fired. All because they're really just advocating that murdering people of groups you don't like is always acceptable but they're too chickenshit to say that outright and have to obfuscate it behind word salads.
