You seem to be one of those silly people who conflate antisemitism with disliking how the state of Israel behaves under the leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu.

These are not equivalent concepts.

Can't disagree, but zionism likes to conflate them, and US policy goes in that general direction.

P.S. Hi to the border guard reading this!

Almost like their comment is satirizing those people...

Plenty of people express that position without irony or sarcasm, so I'm going to push back against it when I see it.

Yeah, they're brainwashed, but good luck getting them to acknowledge anything to the contrary.

"Israel is our greatest ally!"

"Oh, what have they done for us?"

"..."

---

"It's antisemetic to appose Israel's cultural expansion!"

"How so?"

"..."

If we let the fascists (or those already consumed by the fascists' propaganda) go unchecked, we are acquiescing to their goals.

Even if that person's mind can't be changed, it is still important to visibly call out and resist fascist propaganda.

They want people to give up and think resistance is pointless. That's part of the strategy.

Including Republicans in the Young Republican club…

More like most zoomer right-wingers honestly

Its only the oldheads and those with financial stake that are big on israel

You’re forgetting about all of the Evangelical Christians who think that if Isreal is not protected, Jesus won’t have a place to come back to when he returns (yes they think this)

And the Young Republicans are real live anti semite Nazi sympathizers and JD Vance made all sorts of excuses for them.

Evangelical's obsession with Israel is pretty weird (even to other Christians)..

They happily ignore Revelation 14:6? Hebrews 8:13 & 8:9? Galatians 3:28? Mark 16:1

Additionally, Christ commands Christians to preach the gospel to every nation and the scripture not say there is neither gentile or Jews.

Evangelicals will fixate on a verse from Genesis about God blessing people who bless Israel, but ignore the fact that when the country literally didn’t exist as a political entity.

I could go on and on..
