Anyone who insists on defining anti-semitism as being 'they don't like Israel' is gonna find themselves in the ADL's awkward position more and more bcs many antisemites today are in love with the Israeli model of ethno-supremacy. 🧵

Many antisemites today agree that Jews 'should go there' as well, which is literally Netanyahu's position and the entire point of the state of Israel. After the 2015 kosher supermarket massacre, Netanyahu went to the French Jewish community and told them to leave France. That's what fascists want.
Keep on being in denial about this all you want and you will continue to find yourselves in bed with the Musks of this world. They have no problem being antisemitic in the West while supporting Israel's genocide of primarily Arab Muslims.
Yes, one can be anti-Zionist and also antisemitic. Many such cases. They must also be opposed. My point is simply that these are two separate things, and it is a success for both antisemitism and Zionism that the very existence of Jews is tied to a brutal state that was imposed on my ppl. F- that
The way to fight antisemitism in the West is... to fight antisemitism. If the antisemitism is also anti-Israel/Zionism, then we bring that up bcs many antisemites do hide behind their anti-Zionism. When it's not, which is most of the time, you are harming the fight against antisemitism in the West.
The overwhelming majority of antisemitic content is pushed by the Far Right. The overwhelming majority of antisemitic attacks are also by them, from Germany to the US. Many of these same ppl see no problem in also calling themselves Zionists.
There has been a convergence of the worst forces in recent years. Anti-semites are often excused as long as they support Israel's genocidal politics against us. Jews who are anti-Zionist or even just critical of Netanyahu are often the first to be attacked by the ADLs of this world.
This is such a measured, informative and eye-opening thread for people like myself, who abhor racism (including antisemitism) in any form, while they fully support the right of the Arabs to live without being persecuted systematically by the state of Israel.
