Just an example of how Zionism fuels antisemitism. The goal of Zionist is aligned with a true antisemitic person like MTG.

I have been warning about this for awhile. You'll see antisemitism grow more and more within America as support for Israel continues. And all of that will be around lies like "Israel (Jews) control the US/Media"

And good people completely unconnected to Israel will be hurt in the process.

Just as antisemitism was used as a shield to fuel the genocide in Gaza. The next step is to use the genocide in Gaza to fuel antisemitism in the west once the goals of these racial supremacists have been met. The goals of Zionist and white supremacy align for their own attempts to build Ethnostates.

Will will at the same time continue to see material support for the genocide in Gaza while right wing politicians shift towards using the genocide as a tool for antisemitism. MTG is just the start.

I've been trying to point this and an inevitable follow-on to this that is very hard to articulate well. But keep in mind that the largest and most influential group of Zionists are Christian Zionists right here in the US. They do not give a shit about Jewish culture, but they sure get hard for apocalyptic mythology. At the same time, Jews in the US overwhelmingly vote progressive and are active in progressive politics. By fueling a Jews are Israelis first and foremost narrative, at multiple different levels but including in terms of painting anti-Israel as anti-Jewish, the seeds for justifying deportation of large part of the US organized left and a fulfillment of Christian Zionists' apocalypse boners are planted. Couple that with it becoming more and more possible that anyone will be vulnerable to retroactive stripping of citizenship, and i think any Jews feeding into this narrative should be really fucking worried.
