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”.

Calling the Fascist messianic government of Israel “Zionist” is like saying all Germans are Nazis
