    I think Zionism (and as he's a villain, implict anti-Zionist messaging) is a big part of Magneto's character already.

    One of his core beliefs is that mutants and human's can't coexist peacefully so mutants need their own ethnostate/to exterminate the human race.

    There's even an explict Israel analogue in Genosha, the evil mutant ethnostate he blackmails the UN into giving him then does a genocide in.

        TBH I think that's less to the credit of Magneto and more a major point against the writers.

        Presenting the Israel analogue as necessary and liberating (the jews mutants were being oppressed by the locals so they're justified making an apartheid state for safety/retaliation!) is straight up Zionist propaganda and a massive yikes.

          Cable would also build a future communist utopia in the ocean that was a sanctuary for mutants (but not exclusive, normal humans, many who were refugees were welcomed)
