The Democrat’s rant has sparked calls for her to resign over her bigoted language.

      Nah, it rhymes with “it’s never a bad time to realize that Israel-related antisemitism is literally Zionist propaganda; this is the fault of AIPAC”.

          Actually, there’s significantly more evangelical Christian Zionists in the US than Jewish ones.

          It’s not a Jewish thing. It’s a colonial Apartheid thing and also a cult thing.

          You could say “Israeli’s did that” or “Zionists did that” instead of using the word Jews, and it would be more accurate and would not (except in the Zionist narrative) be anti-semite.

          And who makes up the Zionists

          European atheists and Christians? Like, this nonsense is only possible because of the enthusiastic support of very much non-Jewish Westerners.

          “The genocide is being conducted by a Jewish state, approved of by the vast majority of Jews in that state, who are a vast majority in that state, lobbied by Jews and persecuted by Jewish soldiers. But it’s the ZIONISTS!”

          Using Western weapons under Western diplomatic and military cover, you forgot that part. Israeli Jews are almost all guilty, but the qualifier “Israeli” is important. Outside Israel this shit is actually divisive among Jewish communities. Like, we’re not just talking about a small minority among an overwhelming Zionist majority here; this is a real division in Western Jewish communities. Also, when you say “the Jews did this” you imply two things: That it’s only or mainly Jews that are guilty, and that it’s all (or enough for opposition to be irrelevant) Jews are guilty. I’ve made my case for the latter, but let’s not forget about the former too. Israeli tyranny has always depended on Western support, from the Balfour declaration to Polish and Czechoslovakian weapons arming Zionist militias to the USSR and America almost immediately recognizing Israel to Western support for Israel during and after the cold war. Everyone involved in every one of these actions deserves a violent and painful death, so I see no reason to call out Zionist Jews specifically. Joe Biden and Netanyahu can go on the same chopping block as far as I am concerned, because both are equally implicated with the genocide in Gaza. In the same vein, AIPAC is certainly guilty for supporting pro-genocide candidates, but the candidates accepting that support and the establishment that allows all this to happen are equally guilty and they can all die in the same ditch, so why concern oneself with whether they worship Yahweh, Jesus or nothing?
