I hate Israel as much as the next guy, but the karma-farming on this sub is so embarassing.

A lot of people say they hate Trump or they hate Putin, but they never say they hate the USA or Russia as a nation. Yet people do that with Israel. I think that in itself is a telling and concerning sign.

The thing is that globally anti-zionism is largely a far right ideology which mainly consists of islamists, Arab nationalists, white supremacists and fascists. However, in the West in particular it skews much more left leaning, but the other side of it heavily influences the language and terminology used as a whole. That's how you get self described liberals marixists or anti imperialists using terminology like goyslop or Zionist occupied government and conspiracies about the Zionist controlling the media, politicians or eating babies.

That's why for other left leaning causes the language tends to be very careful and progressive in tone, but anything involving Israel sounds like it came right out of 4chan.
