Antisemitism is back, with its nasty conspiracy theories, jews as baby killers, controlling the world, involved in any news item.

Good thing Zionism was invented exactly to counter that.

Everyone here is talking about Israel, even the person with the wild comment about Epstein and Kirk.

It is common for a minority of people to say similarly wild things about the US, Russia, China, and so on.

No, it is uncommon to attribute to Russia the set of racist stereotypes that relate to Jews.

For example, I never saw an opinion that thinks that Russia control the media or world finance, while the above is attributed to jews since before nazis.

In the above example, it is very common for people to have a paranoid obsession with looking for Jews/Israel as an explanation for any news, and that is also a centuries old pastime

The right's split thinking on this issue is largely a split down generational lines. The balance of the split is shifting as old people die. The Zionist faction of the left is almost dead already, and on the right it will still take some more years, but once that's done, America's support for Israel will have expired.

I think Israel realizes they're on borrowed time, and that's why they've adopted such an overtly aggressive strategy of getting what they want now, making their strategic goals a fait accompli while still receiving protection from America. With America out of the picture, Israel goes the way of Rhodesia.

The support for Israel was always higher for older people, and that goes back all the way to the 70's as far as I could tell. Something about being young and impressible, captured by the Palestinian ethos, until people grow up.

When you say "Going by the way of Rhodesia" do you mean Israelis will just scatter away, the remaining ones will be under constant threat of violence?

No, it's because American boomers are crazy Christians who think that they must ensure that Israel continues to exist, no matter how much evil it perpetrates, because apparently their schizo book says the existence of Israel is a prerequisite for the resurrection of their Messiah who will then usher in the Apocalypse. Old people in America don't support Israel because they're smarter or more mature, it's because they're insane retards. Young people are abandoning these American churches, and largely religion in general. They haven't been brainwashed into supporting Israel like the boomers were.

BTW, Israel going the way of Rhodesia is unavoidable. Depending on how things go, it might happen in a few years, or twenty years, but as surely as baby boomers all eventually die, so too will Israel die.
