do you think most modern anti-Jewish people are actually aware that "Israel" is also anti-Jewish?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No because it takes colonial/class analysis which basic antisemites are totally oblivious too. Though historically, rich and powerful antisemites had interests in investing in the colonial project. And most importantly, a genuine Jewish person supporting Zionism is only harming their own people by legitimising their alienation from their real land

agreed, that's why I think there's some mental gymnastics required for most of them to justify being pro-"Israel"
