I mean people have been criticizing Israel for decades without being called antisemites. At least not credibly. I know because I've been calling Gaza and apartheid state since the 90s. The difference here is the way people have formed a rhetorical alliance with actual neo Nazis instead of articulating those specific criticisms. People slinging around "Zionist" are just as obnoxious as people slinging around "antisemite." The left really needs to do better on this. Use your words, not problematic bumper sticker politics.
Is Zionist not a neutral term?
The algorithm boosts the voice that create the most engagement and shareholder value. It's a perfectly objective and rational way to run political discourse. What is wrong with bumper sticker politics, they are extremely efficient.
You must be some obnoxious communist to criticize this! (jk lol)
PS: You're probably right though, and actual antisemites and fascists are the reason why the propaganda wasn't able to completely quell criticism of Israel about the genocide. So in this very rare instance we probably should thank our nazi bedfellows, otherwise Israel would kill, starve and rape Palestinians even harder.
