Great summary of the anti Zionist anti semite trope. People espousing an anti Israel position while claiming no anti semitic feelings often think they are being smart and circumventing being labelled but in reality they've made it quite clear exactly what they are.

Tell me if you like the new ending.

Nothing new under the sun.

In the late 19th century, it had become socially unacceptable to hate people for their religion. Thus, Wilhelm Marr declared that he didn’t hate Jews for their religion, but rather for their “race,” popularizing the idea that he was only anti-Semitic. That was acceptable at the time, but never manifested in hatred for, say, Arabs.

Antisemitism is now disdained by many, so they need a new excuse.

Great summary.

With apologies to Dara Horn, if there’s one thing people love more than dead Jews, it is defenseless ones.

Also stateless Jews which is similar to defenseless.

“an origin story they themselves refuse to examine with any consistency or intellectual honesty?….

“…..It is the belief that Jews, like other peoples, are entitled to national self-determination in their ancestral homeland.”

That feels a bit … not exactly contradictory, but something slightly jarring, fir I can’t think of a word(not having a good word day today so I hope this makes sense)

I added a few more lines there for context or to smooth the transition. Tell me what you think.

I’ll look at it but my point is that critics don’t compare how countries are formed in general. And the bottom is just a definition of Zionism.

As always brilliantly written! I would like to suggest an interview Honest Reporting did with Hillel Neuer of UN watch AKA the most hated man at the UN and someone I personally find Heroic!

Also this is a very good follow up by a very Brave and Honest obviously Arab Man at the latest UN session! https://unwatch.org/who-are-the-real-colonizers-arab-refugee-stuns-u-n-human-rights-council/

Excellent!

I have come to realize that the propaganda pushing that ideology is itself a black psyop. "anti-zionist" ideology that is becoming extremely pervasive in the conservative world - specifically the idea that the global cabal is run by jews or zionists - is actually a black psyop injected into groups who were revealing inconvenient truths about governments and their dealings (which were originally called conspiracy theories until they all started becoming to obvious) to destroy credibility....

The classic counterintelligence move against any movement that's gaining credibility is not to refute the evidence - it's to contaminate the source. You don't beat the argument; you make the people making the argument radioactive. Injecting racial framing into legitimate institutional critique is a near-perfect delivery mechanism for that.

The timing pattern is suspicious. It tends to accelerate precisely when specific revelations are gaining mainstream traction - COVID origins, financial architecture exposure, election integrity questions. The racial framing arrives like a weed in the garden, growing fastest where the soil is richest.

The use of anti zionist rhetoric has been used 11 times since 1903 to shut down the exposure of globalist objectives.

It's just another cult ideology - a very dangerous and destructive one.

You might be right. Someone also said on here that the reason zionists are called genocidal (I’ve been called that) is to prepare the future ground for justifying murder.

It's definitely one of the major issues of the "enemy" narrativ.

Absolutely fantastic- the writing is Sam Harris level clear.
