    Yes, that’s the entire point of Israel. They cry about antisemitism but fund fascists and neo Nazis in the US and Europe. If Jews weren’t in danger - real material danger, not from chants about Palestine - then Israel has no justification for its existence. They want the antisemitism because it means Jews must flee their homes, and if Israel is criticized, then it would be a less attractive option for the fleeing Jews.

    Notice how they pour tens of millions into pushing anti BDS laws because the movement is “antisemitic,” yet there is not a peep about the Israel lobby trying to push for laws criminalizing neo nazism. One movement threatens Israel, the other movement allows Israel to expand.

            Its important to note that they have been a little more hesitant to have uncritical support for Ukraine since the war due to their relations with Russia and because they can’t just be blind towards the neo nazism 24/7 like their western allies. Though their official reason for being hesitant is because somehow their military aid would be redirected to Hamas instead lol

      Don't forget funding ISIS and medevacing ISIS fighters to Israeli hospitals just in case public and financial support wasn't obvious enough

      It also gives antisemites a convenient place to deport their Jewish population to. It's why a lot of antisemites from the end of the 19th century were also zionists.
