When your country is definitely not committing a genocide that you're trying very unsuccessfully to cover up

If we had a functioning class of journalists and a news industry that wasn't beholden to corporate takeover we'd probably have some articles out there going like "Why are zionists so anti-semitic?"
@radicalrobit Who would write, who would publish, and who would care?
Antisemitism hasn't meant a gosh-darn thing in the past fifteen? twenty? ever? years from any party in the broad public outside the range between "my political opponent doesn't care that their allies hate Jews" to "my political opponent uses conspiracy theories that foundationally align to antisemitic narratives and it'd bad when they do it".
The only people who have ever been interested in how antisemitism works outside of the direct political use they could get out of it have been a relatively small clump of Jewish academics because it is physically impossible to keep Jews from getting academic about things relevant to them, and also from what I've seen to a lesser extent (they have a lot of other priorities like this is the opposite of a criticism) currents within the USAmerican Black Left?, and that is. entirely it.
Like of COURSE they're being antisemitic in their zionism, antisemitism WORKS.
This is not a new observation from me or anyone, but don't you just love how many negative tropes and stereotypes that zionists use against anti-zionist Jews? They use old "self-loathing" Jew stereotype as an attack here against these two directors. Also one of the most common attacks here in the USA is claiming that American Jews who are anti-zioinist aren't really Jews because they're not showing loyalty to israel which the claim is itself an ant-semitic dual-loyalty attack.
