This is the legacy of a country that never denazified, but still falls in line with Western hegemony regarding the imperialist project of Israel. They have found a new victim to foist their racist paranoia unto and simultaneously use the widespread opposition among Muslims and Arabs to Israel (a state that ethnically cleanses and exterminates them) as means to justify their extermination because their opposition to the Israel is systemically and legally classified as antisemitic.

This is the obvious consequence of labeling valid criticism of Israel as rote antisemitism is fueling anti-Muslim villainization and hysteria. If you oppose Arab extermination and ethnic cleansing, you are antisemitic. And if you're antisemitic you deserve extermination.

    Like, I feel you. But when I look at the former Soviet Block - your Polands and Hungarys and Ukraines - I don't see a dearth of fascists, either.

    This isn't a problem of failed de-Nazification. This is a problem of re-Nazification, with the international enemy updated to a 21st century bigot's woke sensibilities. In the same way that Bismark updated the internecine hatred of the German principalities into a singular seething hatred for Franks, Anglos, and Slavs. In the same way the Third Reich synthesized proletariat outrage with post-war revenge fantasy and Americanized Christian White Nationalism. Merkle-ists and Macron-ists have staked out a new International Jew in the form of the modern Muslim.

    This is the obvious consequence of labeling valid criticism of Israel as rote antisemitism is fueling anti-Muslim villainization and hysteria.

    I'd call it a deliberate goal of post-Cold War CIA-sponsored Islamic Radicalism. In the same way Latinos were transformed from humble migrants into cocaine-slinging mafiosos, our modern propaganda wing is turning Islam into wild-eyed religious anarchists. Radical Islam simultaneously becomes an arm of the secret services and a stick to prod domestic nationalists into ever-more-reactionary attitudes.

    Less a bug. More a feature.
