Javier Milei’s incoming administration is shaping up to be one of the most pro-Israel governments in Argentina’s history, at a time other Latin American nations have spoken out against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s strategy to eradicate Hamas.
What the actual fuck? Onion again defeated by reality.
On the contrary, zionism is a deeply antisemitic projet. The British Empire was so happy to help colonizing Palestine because it would mean all European Jews could leave. The project is that instead of fixing prejudice against Jews in Europe, they want them to have a state so they can go to that place, abandoning their real roots and lifestyle. Part of the answer to Zionism is actually to destroy anti-Semitism at home so that no one will urge Jewish people to abandon their real land and people, which is whatever nation and community they were raised to.
No because it takes colonial/class analysis which basic antisemites are totally oblivious too. Though historically, rich and powerful antisemites had interests in investing in the colonial project. And most importantly, a genuine Jewish person supporting Zionism is only harming their own people by legitimising their alienation from their real land

do you think most modern anti-Jewish people are actually aware that “Israel” is also anti-Jewish?

agreed, that’s why I think there’s some mental gymnastics required for most of them to justify being pro-“Israel”
