It spelled “fascism”
It’s both antisemitism and Zionism. It’s a grab bag of xenophobia and boogie men. Whatever mask you feel like wearing as long as you sell your vote.
Sure, according to someone who
previously served as the Senior Vice President of International Affairs at the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), … [and founded] the Younes and Soraya Nazarian Center for Israel Studies at UCLA
The Israel lobby seems to be willing to hijack any cause to serve it’s own political purpose.
Besides, ADL lost their last shred of credibility a long time ago. From last year:
Naomi Klein told protesters gathered on Washington’s National Mall that Israel was “attempting genocide by making use of the Jewish fears of another genocide [against Jews]”. She added: “We will not let our fears of antisemitism be manipulated in this way.”
In response, the staunchly pro-Israel Anti-Defamation League (ADL) – formed more than 100 years ago to combat antisemitism – said the activists belonged to “far-left radical organizations [who] do not represent the overwhelming majority of the Jewish community”.
In a statement, the ADL’s Washington DC regional director said the activists were “anti-Zionists that challenge Israel’s very right to exist. Let’s be very clear – anti-Zionism is antisemitism.”
David Friedman, the conservative former US ambassador to Israel during Donald Trump’s presidency, went further, tweeting before Monday’s protest: “Any American Jew attending this rally is not a Jew – yes I said it!”
(Emphasis mine)
Just one of his (Putin’s) tools. Hardly the most powerful, it’s just the bottom tool in the bucket. Netanyahu does more to fuel antisemitism than Trump utilizes it.
