Full disclosure - I am slightly drunk.

I just wanted to say based on trends I am seeing in my very non-scientific observations on social media - support for Israel and Zionism has completely collapsed. Like you might as well say 'fuck the troops' collapsed.

I hate Isreal and I hate Zionism, but I am concerned based on my own personal experiences about how easily this is turned into straight up 'hitler was right' rhetoric.

And I think this is what Zionists wanted. What is the best way forward with anti-zionst movement?

Part of Israel’s strategy is conflate Judaism with Zionism and then make Jews around the world feel unsafe in their homes. That way, they can say to them, “Come to Israel. Live here. You’ll be welcomed here.” And in that conflation of Jews with Zionists they’ve actively succeeded in their goal of making Jews less safe. Of course Israel’s rhetoric in defense of their atrocities leads to antisemitism. That’s the point.
