    In the US I have never seen so much actual anti-semitism in my life, and it is 100% because of western governments appearing to move heaven and earth to support Israel. While we know Israel is not the one calling the shots (that’s the US), because of how it looks on the surface actual anti-semites are capitalizing on this to say “see look, the Jews DO control the world”. And there are people who are listening and internalizing that.

      Its hard for an average person to not fall into anti-semitism when you have people like ben gvir talking publicly.

        Admittedly, were it not for voices like those of Norman Finkelstein, Max Blumenthal, and Aaron Mate among others (and anti-Zionist Jews I’ve talked to or seen online and in person) it would be hard not to as well. Even as is it is- not hard exactly, but it is a matter certainly resisting and reeling myself back from the instinct when I do see such absolute vileness draped in Judeo-washing (no different from pinkwashing/etc I guess) Zionism.

            yea thats the thing, realizing that these people are just larping as jews because its convenient and they are fascists. But since most of us have no clue what judaism is, it’s hard doing that.

      Isreal isnvery much calling the shots over America.

      That’s why they keep having to write articles about how behind the scenes Biden is super duper pissed to make up for the fact they’re directly rebuking everything he says.

      Netenyahu regularly come to congress to talk shit about Democrat president’s.

        The US is the one calling the shots. If “Israel” is doing something it’s not because it has power over the US but because the US imperial establishment wants and benefits from “Israel” doing that. Everything else is pretense and excuses. As Genocide Joe himself admitted, if there wasn’t an “Israel” the US would have to invent one. They get to do the things they do because the neocolony serves Western imperialist interests in the Middle East.
