Hypocrisy is an individual quality, not a collective quality, Zio!

"Zio"

Thank you for providing a perfect example of how the word zionist has become a replacement for kike among jew-haters.

Common term for about 75% of democrats under 50, who must be Jew-haters, of course. Sorry, ethnonationalism just isn’t a popular ideology, and the word is, in practice, just a shorthand for an instance of that. You’ve lapped up hasbarist propaganda to such an extent that it’s started to be reality.

You can stay paranoid or you can choose to face reality. Up to you.

Reality is that irrational hatred of Jews has become normalized among the far left.

The left? The left is against Israeli violence. The far right hates Jews.

Let's compare figures like, say Nick Fuentes and Hasan Piker.

Fuentes regularly spouts vile anti-semitic rhetoric, painting up a picture of Jews as greedy schemers.

Piker always makes it clear he is talking about Israel, not Jews. Painfully so.

I have not seen a single self-odentified leftist say anything anti-semitic IRL. But I have seen right-wingers do this.

And this same story is reflected in politicians statements as well. The right is anti-semitic.

The ADL claims that the left is, but that is because the ADL wants to conflate Israel with the entire ethnic group of Jews. Which is an obvious and silly bad faith trick. You're also doing the same thing.

Hasan Piker is a very bad example because he supports the Houthi, and the Houthi are VERY anti-semitc, their flag literally curses ALL jews

"God is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse be upon the Jews, Victory to Islam"

Ah, yes. So if Piker, when looking at the Houthi/Israel dichotomy, is more sympathetic to the Houthis, that means he adopts all of their positions?

That doesn't follow. Not even a little bit.
