CMV:
Israel is by far the largest contributor to growing antisemitism worldwide
I believe
that not only Israel’s most recent conduct with the Gaza genocide, but Israel’s
historical treatment and systemic dehumanization of the Palestinian people is
by far the biggest driver of rapidly growing antisemitism.
To be
clear, I fundamentally disagree with attributing blame for the state of
Israel’s conduct to the Jewish people as a whole. My point is not in support of
antisemitism, but an observation that the conduct and arguably nature of an
ethno supremicist state cloaked under a facade of democracy has fostered an
environment for people to condemn Jews as a whole rather than the individuals
and policies responsible.
Interestingly
enough, due to the backlash in response to the Gaza genocide, there has been a
massive and organized Zionist move to purchase media outlets in order to regain
narrative control. People largely acquire their information from social media,
so TikTok is at the top of the list to be acquired/controlled by Zionist
interests. There is a lot to dig into in regard to the narrative war and how
Israel is waging it, but that’s for another time. Importantly, many zionists
are intentionally attempting to blur the lines between Jew and Israel, thus
insulating the political entity at the expense of the people.
As the
facade of democracy falls away and the curtain is pulled back, people not only
see a handful of individuals to blame, but they see the foundation is rotten,
and increasing numbers of people wrongfully believe that foundation to be Jews
as a whole, rather then the political structure and extremists who lead the
charge for the most radical and despicable behavior. The part that concerns me
is that the pattern of wrongful attribution isn’t new, but it’s gaining
momentum in a concerning way.
Israel’s
policy towards Palestinians has strongly articulated some nasty fundamental
underlying realities of the state, but because normal people feel useless and
ineffective in addressing and changing the states policy from a political
perspective, many direct frustration and hatred towards Jews as a people
because it’s the easy option that’s within their realm of expression and
impact. I suspect it’s largely a “I can fight and actually do something in this
way” type of mentality.
We know
that Jews as a people are distinct and separate from the political entity of
Israel, but there has been a lot of Zionist effort to blur those lines in a
nationalistic push to maintain unity and momentum along with protection of the
state. Unchecked criminal behavior such as war crimes, land theft, apartheid,
and unmitigated settler violence against the Palestinian people having
continuously occurred over the last 60 years has disillusioned many people to
Israel, but they are taking it out on Jews, and I fear it’s only going to get
worse.
