sorry if this isn't that deep but could you clarify what you meant on your last post? i'm just not sure if you're saying these people would've fallen for zionism or if i'm misunderstanding you really badly

that is exactly what i'm saying

#israeli propaganda about how antisemitic the world is wouldn't work if it had zero truth to it. fascist propaganda takes people's #feelings about real problems they have and maneuvers it to the direction of an easy ''solution''#i think it's easier for said jewish antizionists to imagine themselves solely as a Corrupted Colonizer #(at least in the us where i'm living. compounded w/ the fact that like 90% of jews here are ashkenazim #i know the race/ethnicity-relation-to-judaism dynamic is similar in occupied palestine. tbh this is a White People Thing to some degree)#bc to them acknowledging that yes oppressed people can do apartheid will somehow erase the fact that they're oppressed #(ultimately the same main issue jewish zionists have)#may i remind you shafiq ades was executed by the iraqi government for allegedly spying for israel despite being a dedicated antizionist #who worked to improve things for jews in iraq and syria. let alone that he did not spy for israel #i'm sure the iraqi govt did that because he was corrupted by zionism and not #because he was a prominent jewish political figure and they took out their postcolonial wrath on jews after getting a convenient excuse #and continue to persecute assyrians kurds turkmen and yazidi today in much the same manner not dissimilar to the way other countries #have treated their minorities let alone jews #since Oppressed People Cant Do Bad Things that has to be it right 👍😃👍#moral: if you want to be an effective antizionist you need to call out antisemitism where you see it let alone recognize it #even if this is inconvenient #and yes this means even if you're afraid you'll get called a zionist for it. bc if you're not a zionist they're being antisemitic #the antizionists i am talking about are not comfortable doing that just like zionists are not #in both cases the ''real'' antisemite is just whoever they feel ruins their image of jews (collective)#and they're both seeing antisemitism in the problem and have different Ways they think it'll be solved #and the antizionists are more on track than the zionists are but by not addressing antisemitism at its face they run into the same trap
