Not really sure this is entirely a Republican problem. It’s a pervasive opinion that antizionism is antisemitism in media, public policy from township to fed, and even some nonprofits like ADL. I personally find it antisemitic to conflate the two, because who would want their religion, that in no way informs the government of Israel’s evil actions, tied inexplicably to the sinking ship of public opinion on a genocide?

What nobody likes to talk about is that Israel, from the perspective of Europe and America, is one big refugee camp.

After WWII, there was an enormous population of Jewish refuges that wanted to leave Central and E. Europe and Russia, for some reason. At that time, it was illegal for Jewish people to immigrate into the UK, and it was defacto forbidden in the US. Gifting them a homeland in the Ottoman empire was an expedient solution.

The important lesson is that Palestinians are responsible to pay reparations for Europe’s antisemitism.

Something else that would be funny if it weren’t so tragic: The majority of what the Bible called Israelites did not leave in the diaspora, but stayed put, converted to Islam and their descendants are called Palestinians. So in a way, Israel’s crimes are just one more pogrom.

It’s the same energy of evangelicalism has fuck all to do with the teachings of Christ. They’re all dog whistles.
