For the country being a white supremacist settler-colonist state that’s doing a slow (now fast) genocide on Palestinians. It’s nice to be on the correct side for once, as I used to believe that Israel controlled the USA and not vice-versa, I’ve learned so much more about the world thanks to leftism. Being a reactionary I was seriously ignorant and in the dark, fueled by dumb ass racist thoughts and a baby’s understanding of the world.
I was conservative/libertarian, never antisemitic, always thought nazis were the bad guys, and it was hard for me to see Israel for what it is. I still hold back out of fear of being misinterpreted as antisemitic and I don’t want to encourage antisemitic ideas by accident, or give antisemites any ground to work with. Antisemitism has filled the gaps in so many conspiracy theories for hundreds of years.
Zionists worked hard to equate “jewish people” with “israel” and it’s fucked up how deeply they’ve managed to poison that well. It’s like this perverse, somehow-socially-acceptable version of racists screaming “go back to your own country” at poc who were born in ohio.
“The Socialism Of Fools” is so apt
