      No, maybe not. But that’s a far cry from, yknow, wanting them dead. You wanting them to succeed and maybe just not liking them much as a group is barely hate.

    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

    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.

    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 Nazi’s. The Nazi’s 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 Nazi’s 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”.
