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 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.
