And yet these people are on the same side, politically, as Netanyahu and his supporters.
People mock the left for having strange bedfellows, like LGBTQ people supporting Palestinian rights (not understanding the point of universal human rights)…
…but it’s nowhere near as weird as Zionists playing footsie with the same antisemitic Nazis that want them dead.
Prior to the Holocaust, there was a significant part of the Zionist movement that was playing footsie with the actual Nazis. The Nazis didn’t want to kill the Jews, they wanted them out of Europe. Zionists thought that made them potential allies. Ultimately, that didn’t work out because the Nazi’s thought that moving them to where modern Israel is would be too destabilizing for the region. The Nazis still ended up supporting establishing a Jewish state, with Hitler approving a plan to do so in Madagascar. This plan was eventually abandoned in favor of their “final solution”.
Calling the Fascist messianic government of Israel “Zionist” is like saying all Germans are Nazis
This is wild because I’m initially like “criticizing Israel for carrying out genocide is not antisemitic” but these dolts then segue into actual anti-Jewish, antisemitic conspiracy theory bullshit like the right-wing chads that they are.
Zionism and antisemitism are not mutually exclusive.
It’s an easy hook. An increasing number of people are frustrated and mad about that situation and nobody is doing anything about it.
So if you give them a place to vent that anger and feed it over time, pulling them to the more extreme, you get a bunch of followers
Why anyone listens to these stupid chuds is beyond me.
shit man. phrenology is real I’m telling you…
