The continued rise of the far right in Europe;
using the fight against 'antisemitism' as a leg up
Germany is set to make agreement to Israel’s right to exist as an ethno majority state a condition of citizenship.
The push to combat ‘antisemitism’ in Europe, now redefined as meaning anti-Zionism, is being used by the far right to discriminate against Palestinians and their supporters. It’s being used to create ethnic tension and to legislate support for far right White supremacist policies, in Israel as well as in their own countries. If people do not support the right to ethnic cleansing, they are not welcome in European countries.
Antisemitism in the UK is now defined as anti genocide.There’s understandably a lot of it about! The fight against the new antisemitism has already been used to bring down Corbyn. The push to ban support for Palestine and make out peaceful protestors hate and want to kill Jews is being deliberately done to further far right policies.
As climate change accelerates and migration from the global south becomes more and more a flood, the establishment want robust support for racist immigration policies in place to protect their interests.
High profile British journalists, comedians and historians identifying as the same ethnicity as those committing a genocide, not only support the openly declared ethnic cleansing, but also want any public protests against it banned because they find them offensive and threatening. These people who identify as Jewish have done a lot to increase antipathy towards their own ethnic identity. The Jewish ethnicity and identity originated in Mesopotamia or the Levant; which includes Palestine/Israel, so some could also choose to identify with their Palestinian or Arab ethnicity if they wished.
Generally I really don’t care how anyone identifies, unless they think it gives them special rights; for example, to enter women only spaces or women’s sport if they are man or have extra moral authority to justify collective punishment due to what happened to their ancestors who identified themselves in the same way.
The weaponisation of the new antisemitism is not only creating Islamophobia; it is creating and stirring real antisemitism.
The far right who are using the weaponisation of ‘antisemitism’, those who invented a left wing conspiracy of Jews who faked climate change to control us and who want to flood the country with Black and Brown people to make an army (so therefore we must oppose all green policies as well as ethnic minority immigration), and those who fund proxy wars; the Zionazis in Israel and neonazis in Ukraine (who will be abandoned at the drop of a hat); do not actually care about Jewish people.

Your take is so similar to what I was ranting about the other day- that being anti-genocide is now considered being antisemitic. I know not all Jews feel this way, so I don't want to stereotype. But what does that say about a people that my being compassionate and respectful of all innocent lives is considered an affront to what they stand for? It's surreal that we're talking about victims of the holocaust being the ones who are now synonymous with COMMITTING genocide. And much like the Nazis, this is official, state-sponsored genocide.
All that being said, I'm getting a bit frustrated by all the 'far-right' and 'extreme left' stuff the last several years. There was a time when it was easy to define those terms. Now we have the 'left' being more pro-war and interventionism than the 'right'. The left also used to be a fierce defender of free speech. Now they spend citizen's tax dollars on vast censorship and spying on innocent Americans, calling concerned doctors, scientists, and even parents 'domestic terrorists'.
If I am a person who wants clean air, water, and soil free of poisonous pesticides and herbicides; who cares about the lives of all innocent people regardless of which chunk of land they happen to reside in; who doesn't believe in the production (torture and murder) of sentient beings; who thinks that our individual liberties enshrined by the Constitution is the only thing holding back TPTB from having already enslaved us all; who loves all people and wants everybody to be accepted, but doesn't believe that trans rights need to smash other people's rights; and who understands that the medical industrial complex is as much about death and destruction for profits as the military industrial complex- then I am, apparently, an enemy to both the left and the right. Love, compassion, logic, truth, and justice have no place within either paradigm these days.
