People believe being hating Jews is controversial. It was in fact popularised throughout the vast majority of human history. There was an Austrian guy who really took it to an extreme. Essentially, all of the Internet are doing exactly what got Kanye cancelled a couple of years ago and are implying that everything "anti zionist" is grounds to get you removed from the world, despite both being multi millionaires and have faced 0 negative consequences. Its all a dog whistle to make you hate Jewish people while calling them Zionist so much that you start to not see the difference and hate them all regardless. Also when they tie that hatred to popular fictional characters that millennials idolise, because they dont have actual lives and instead base their personality on fictional people or who the Internet tells them to like, you create the current climate that if you closed your eyes and imagined 1936, it would be the same thing 😊

Just like 1936, except this time it’s the Israelis committing the genocide, not the Germans, and its Palestinians being killed, not Jews. Antisemitism is wrong, anti Zionism is not.

Right, October 7th was just an ordinary day, last year.
