As evidence of Thunberg’s antisemitism, the Israeli government pointed to her use of “terms such as ‘genocide,’ ‘siege’ and ‘mass starvation’ in reference to Israel’s actions in Gaza.”

Many of these views are well within the American mainstream. A Quinnipac poll from August found that half of American voters believe that Israel is committing a genocide. Thirty-nine percent of Jewish Americans believe Israel is committing a genocide, according to an October Washington Post poll. Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, which produced the report, deemed Thunberg a more dangerous threat than Fuentes, who has said Judaism is incompatible with Western civilization and called for a “total Aryan victory.”

In a separate section about American influencers, the Israeli government report also singles out Ms. Rachel, a YouTuber with nearly 20 million subscribers who makes educational videos for toddlers, as one of the most influential supposed antisemites. Ms. Rachel’s misdeeds include publishing “content dealing with the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, highlighting alleged harm to civilians and children, and condemning Israeli military actions.” The report also says Ms. Rachel has “promoted fundraising campaigns for emergency aid for children in Gaza and other conflict zones.”

    Every time they do this, it gives cover to real antisemites to launder their hate. Attacks on Jews worldwide are going up in large part due to exactly this kind of insane hyperbolic rhetoric making the word antisemite lose all meaning, and therefore more difficult to combat.

      Zionists are incredibly antisemite. By equating Israel to Judaism, they are linking all the horrible acts that Israel is doing with Jews worldwide that are completely against the violence of Israel.

      They are throwing the reputation of Judaism through the mud by forcing any mention of Israel to Judaism.

      They know that and are actively benefiting from it, antisemitic violence around the world helps drive more jewish people to seek refuge in Israel, provides them with new recruits and a convenient justification for their own violence

      Claiming to be better than others and yet, at the same time portray one as a victim is great propaganda fuel. Nothing new here.

      This is where younger the saying, “They cry in pain as they strike you.”

      But that’s what they want. Fascist are always allies with other fascists. Attacks on Jews worldwide benefits Israel. It radicalizes Jewish populations.

    Israel is making the reality of a second holocaust possible. One where the world will give an indifferent shrug.

    Makes sense. Fuentes serves the same capitalist masters as Israel. Zionism always was a fascist project (I mean that literally - Israel was created largely thanks to the Nazis and fascist elements of the British/French governments).
