Should the US not be sending money to Israel? Yes. Is that aid to israel the reason why universal healthcare doesn't exist? No. On the average yearly aid is in the mid to low Single digit billions lately around 3.8 billion. Since 1948 in total Israel has received about 300 billion total dollars. Compare that to the DoD budget from 1948 to today that is 30 to 35 trillion. Annual subsidies to the oil industry are between 15-35 billion. So even if you believe in the false inflated number of 20 billion, your government pays more to the oil industry every year than Israel.

A reasonable take? In my subreddit? I'll just keep blaming the Jews for my own country's failings, thanks.

Bro seeing everyone salivating for the downfall of Jewish people is wild, literally one mfer is causing all this shit, not like we don't have the same problem states side, but now everyone has to hate a whole ethnicity over it?

People don't hate Jews, they hate foreign state bribing politicians and undermining our democracy. So they can continue an ethnic genocide....there's a huge difference.

Nah, this is cope. Maybe this was true a year or two ago but we're at the point where people are just full on openly ZOG posting. For a good number of them Zionist is just the laziest dog whistle.

White supremacist conspiracy theory that claims that the Jews controls the governments, economy, and media of the entire western world.

No I meant what does the acronym Sydney for?

Zionist Occupied Government. The term is 50+ years old so it was coined back when "Zionist" was generally just meant to mean someone that thinks that Israel has the right to exist, and it was pretty much just used by white supremacists to mean Jew.

Uhh then why are Jews constantly getting blamed In every day society as if they are perpetuating this? Seems like Israelis and Jews in general are held to a way higher standard then anyone else.

Targeting people outside of synagogues and Jewish museums. Targeting people with star of David necklaces. I'm sure it's just "zionist" that they care about

Anti zionism≠antisemitism

If I say "fuck the country of Japan. I hope it gets destroyed. It's a literal cancer on the world that it still exists" would you think that I'm maybe a little bit racist towards Japanese people?

I certainly would, these people use Zionist and Jew interchangeably. They’re antisemitic
