CONTEXT: The far-right started using "Zionists" as a dogwhistle for Jews in the 1970s. (Specifically, Willis Carto and his Liberty Lobby started it.)
Offhandedly saying "Zionists" is going to set some people with Nazi experience on edge, so *please* make your context clear.

It doesn't help that a lot of US leftists talk about AIPAC controlling US foreign policy, which is the *same* shit I hear from Nazis, instead of talking about how the US' imperial foreign policy dovetails with the Israeli right. And yes, the former is an antisemitic analysis.

And yes, that will be weaponized by the right against the left if we continue to ignore antisemitism in our ranks. It already has been, in the case of Ilhan Omar.

No, I think she was the victim of an Islamophobic smear campaign. But I also think that spreading an antisemitic analysis like "Israel controls US foreign policy with lobbying money" (not at all unique to her) by tweeting "It's all about the benjamins" was a mistake.
