#Being a neo-Bundist tankie requires cognitive dissonance to actively engage and believe in ahistorical accounts

Once in a while a blog I blocked a some time ago slips through due to another reblogging them. It gives me a glimpse into what has been going on since, and usually it’s just as bad or worse as what caused me to block them in the first place.

In this case it’s our old friend Tikkunolamresistance, and let me tell you shalomies… it’s unhinged

Now, we know they're a tankie at minimum, and some will say they're a Russian bot. Regardless, they can try and turn this around all they want by decrying other Jews saying they're not Jewish or what not. But they're just reiterating Protocols level antisemitic conspiracies with a new coat of paint. That's why so many of us side eye them and others who endorse this type of rhetoric. Just because it's "in vogue" to repurpose antisemitic conspiracies as "anti-Zionist" does not mean you get a free pass as a Jew. You are actively supporting, endorsing, and engaging with rhetoric that harms us and you, and it's very alarming. But this is best summed up with the following meme that I immediately made upon seeing this post.

I would also like to add that the idea that antisemitism exists due to the US not stopping it to give "zionists a reason to have israel" is a very US centric take.

The US government has very little power in regards to being able to stop antisemitism, racism, queerphobia, etc in New Zealand where I live. I have experienced antisemitism multiple times, more than I can count on my two hands.

The idea that Israel has its fingers in all the socio-cultural pies and is choosing to keep antisemitism a thing is antisemitic. Taking the antisemitic trope of jews control the world and replacing jew with Israel proxy country of the US, doesn't make it less antisemitic.

And I know the person in the image is Jewish, however internalized antisemitism is a thing and no one is immune to it.

The idea that Israel only exists due to antisemitism or needs it to thrive is just simply false. It's always been about Jewish indigenousness and self determination, antisemitism is just a factor which makes jews want to make aliyah. Israel would still be thiving even if no more jews ever made aliyah and only the ones already in Israel stayed.
