Imagine how the media would report on a Muslim community protection volunteer group: "Islamic Sharia Gangs Terrorise London!"

Literally already happened, it was a few years ago and contributed to the 'muslamic london' brainworms

Wait, so the regular police in the UK doesn't carry guns but these random volunteers do? WTF

Remember when the Western press hyperventilated about “secret Chinese police stations” in Western cities? Every accusation is a confession.

To reinforce the notion that Jews are in perpetual systemic danger in the present day and age, even when they are quite clearly not.

This is then weaponized by organisations such as the ADL, or governments such as the UK (recently banning Hasan Piker) to stifle criticism of Israel.

At the heart of every argument within the spectrum of Zionism lies the uncritically accepted belief that Jews are an eternally oppressed people and that antisemitism is a constant, rampant threat. The charge of antisemitism often functions as a thought-terminating cliché, deployed not only by staunch Zionists but even by well-meaning individuals who identify as pro-Palestine.
