A piece of deepity used by the unthinking part of the left to disguise their actual views, both from themselves and from others.
To the extent that it is true, it is unremarkable: all countries are fake, Palestinians are not (on average) any more or less indigenous to the area than Israelis are, and both Zionism and Palestinian nationalism are recent inventions that are only possible in the context of the broader invention of nationalism in recent centuries.
To the extent that it is false, it is very important to stress its falsehood: Israel has real, material power, and its oppression of Palestinians is very real, material, and immediate. It needs real, material, immediate relief, not abstract philosophical musings.

Zionist: ARE YOU DENYING THAT ISRAEL HAS THE RIGHT TO EXIST?
Leftist: Jews have the right to exist; Israel doesn't because it is an abstraction that necessarily should never take precedence over the lives of...

In the eyes of the far-right, everyone to the left of them is a member of the left. Anyone in the center is far-left, and any actual left-wing person should be in jail.
In normal discourse among people who aren't far-right ideologues, a left-wing person is someone who supports material action being taken to bring about social justice. Contrasted with a liberal who mouths support for justice while vehemently opposing any material action to bring it about, and with a member of the right who finds the very idea of social justice offensive.

Far-right example: "Jeb Bush is left-wing. Nancy Pelosi is far-left, and Bernie Sanders should be in jail."
Normal discourse equivalent: "Jeb Bush is right-wing. Nancy Pelosi is a centrist, and Bernie Sanders is center-left."

Slang for spironolactone, a medicine given to trans women to decrease testosterone and usually coated with a minty flavor to mask its taste. Parallel to titty skittles, slang for estradiol.
