Honestly, this is the absolute default position in Germany. This is the only thing ever taught. Support for jews includes support for the state of Israel. The word “Zionism” is never once mentioned anywhere. I didn’t know about the concept of Zionism as being separate from Judaism until well into my path to communism. If it’s ever mentioned in the news, it’s regarding to left infighting between anti-anti-semitism (or broader antifacism) and anti-imperialists of which the later are (or used to be) the minority which are seen as having a ln absurd position.
Yeah, can confirm it. The depiction of jews inside germany is very „abstract“, same with the erasure of various broader ideological movements which focuses on people of jewish faith.
From what I remember before I became communist, is that „zionist“ was only acknowledged as like a „dog whistle“ used by antisemites and even that knowledge is already niche except for like „anti-racist“ libs.
