I think any race conspiracy gives power to Nazis and immediately puts Jewish people at more danger. Making both US news and Zionism antisemitic. That’s all I’ve put together.

I really should’ve asked this in a post long ago, I just feel embarrassed about not knowing.

    Zionism is an ethno-supremacists political movement. It is founded on the idea that racism is correct and that non-jews will always hate and kill Jewish people. Zionism gets to decide who is and who isn’t Jewish. Its proponents actively engage in stoking racial prejudice against Jewish people in order to convince Jewish people to immigrate to israel. In some cases Zionists go so far as doing terror against Jewish people and blaming it on anti-Semitic groups.

    Zionism conflates the nation of israel with all people of Jewish heritage and religion treating them as a monolith which zionists are the only voice for. Zionism is harsh to any people who do not agree with it but it is especially harsh in silencing and persecuting Jewish people who do not agree with it. It is openly racist towards non white Jewish people (look up the forced sterilization of African Jews) and denies that Palestinians are descended from the people of iron age Israel (as much or more so than european Jews.)

    history

    In 132CE Rome ordered expulsion of all Jewish people from Jerusalem because of a rebellion. The city dwelling people (accounting for most the ruling class and priesthood) went to Europe and Africa and other parts of Asia and became The Jewish Diaspora. But most people living in the villages and towns (the lower class) didn’t go anywhere. Most of the people stayed in Palestine (because they were poor). Over the years some of them became Christians and many converted to Islam and a few stayed Jewish. Palestinians are descendants of Jews who didn’t keep practicing Judaism.
