Remember: words like ‘intifada’, phrases like ‘from the river to the sea’, and even stuffed animals in the form of octopodes are all ways of secretly calling for another Shoah, no matter how many times Palestinians say otherwise. On the other hand, when a Herzlian like Trump applies an infamous stereotype to somebody…
There is bleed-over of this into liberal/baby left spaces as well, starting with the “Israel dictates to America, actually” theory. This is just one step removed from an antisemitic conspiracy theory. At its base is just confused liberalism, but by getting the nature of the relationship reversed they remove blame and action from the dominant partner, the country in which most of these people live and could take action, and replace it with a far away enemy that is controlling “us”, with the main “action” being to spread this idea and nothing more.
OK, yes, but also Israel and Israelis must be held accountable for their their inhumane cruelty.
It is not antisemitic to say that while Israel does the US bidding, their methods on the ground are distinctly evil.
Idk if its distinct enough from what the US has done in Iraq or Afghanistan
Of course. The two are partners. They are not really at odds, fundamentally. Settlers and imperialists alike tied together with mutual interests.
