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.

Replying to @AntiFashGordon
the linking of those two is conscious policy to set anyone with better than negative opinions on whether Palestinians deserve rights as inherently antisemitic. you are aping right wing framing and talking points.

I'm not talking about criticizing Israel, which is totally fine. I'm talking specifically about claiming that Israel/AIPAC somehow controls US foreign policy, which is *very* close to the antisemitic "Jews secretly control the world" conspiracy theory.
