If people are getting radicalized against zionism, there’s fascists that are out there seeking to turn that potential into more brownshirts. It’s not hard to believe that, with no progressive movement to guide antizionist action, many confused antizionists are gonna be misled by bad actors, especially online where all the Thiel money has created vast networks and pipelines leading people into esoteric far right ideologies instead of socialism.
That doesn’t mean Hasbara doesn’t play both sides, of course, but chances are that yeah these people do exist and we need to try harder to get antizionists to be good leftists, not reactionaries.
