      Why would they care about dead Jews from 80 years ago when trump is giving them the green light on killing Palestinians now?

        When he’s done with the Palestinians, his love for the Jewish people and Israel will evaporate.

          Authoritarian support of Zionism has never been about giving the Jewish people a place to live, but instead about having an excuse to exile the Jews in their midst. Zionism is anti-Semitic.

            No, not in the US. Here it’s absolutely about fear of Muslims and Iran. It’s about keeping them oppressed and controlled in an effort to prevent terrorist attacks. A lot of it is also just plain racism and skin color.

          There are a lot of brown-faced populations in the Middle East for Israeli to genocide

          Probably not as long as Israel remains firmly fascist. Trump and most of the GOP are sociopaths/psychopaths. I doubt most of them actually believe the white supremacism and racism they peddle. It’s a means of class warfare to divide and conquer — to attain and maintain power. Though, as we all know, the out groups are fluid and can change at the whim of madmen.

          At this point I’m not even convinced Hitler or the Nazi senior leadership were as — at least, initially — anti-Jewish as they were sociopaths/psychopaths utilizing the pre-existing anti-Jewish sentiment to attain power. Though, there is the question whether acting racist and violently crushing all opposition reaches a point where they themselves either believe it, or wouldn’t dare voice the truth simply out of fear of being subject to the same violence they’ve used on others.
