    They couldn’t give less of a shit about actual antisemites because that’s like half the republican base but they won’t tolerate criticism of israel because it’s doing god’s work genociding the muslims and it’s the place where the rapture is supposed to kick off.

      Honestly I think it’s less about that and more about the fact that Israel acts as a money-laundering scheme for America’s military industrial complex (along with Ukraine and other proxy conflicts). Also, the US military is so intertwined with the Israeli military that they essentially act as the same organization. “Unsinkable aircraft carrier” is a good descriptor.

      Worse, this protects actual antisemites! When everyone is antisemitic, no one is. They’re destroying the meaning of the word by doing this.

        Yeah I worry about this. It’s already hard to talk about this stuff, now fascists will be more likely to assume I’m in league with them if I express my disapproval of this stuff.
