A disgusting comparison.

As evidence of Thunberg’s antisemitism, the Israeli government pointed to her use of “terms such as ‘genocide,’ ‘siege’ and ‘mass starvation’ in reference to Israel’s actions in Gaza.”

Many of these views are well within the American mainstream. A Quinnipac poll from August found that half of American voters believe that Israel is committing a genocide. Thirty-nine percent of Jewish Americans believe Israel is committing a genocide, according to an October Washington Post poll. Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, which produced the report, deemed Thunberg a more dangerous threat than Fuentes, who has said Judaism is incompatible with Western civilization and called for a “total Aryan victory.”

    If there’s any antisemitism in this matter, it’s coming from a government that uses the Jewish victims of the Holocaust as meat shields against criticism of the ongoing Nakba.

    Of course they would say that. Fuentes is a fascist like the Israeli government, so they have a lot in common.

    There are a lot of prominent influencers on the radical left who are trying to destroy the Jewish cultural tradition of killing children. When will the left learn to respect other cultures?

    If you conflate anti-zionism with antisemitism long enough, you’ll dilute the word to the point where everyone will self identify as “antisemitic”.

        That is what Bibi wants to happen so he can retain power? The only way Bibi and others like him can win is if antisemitism is a genuine global threat, they desperately need the bigotry to make their ideologies not appear as freakish distractions from actually helping the society they govern.

    I hope so. I want to live in a world where Thunberg is more influential than the literal neo-Nazi Fuentes.
