Yeah antisemites have used a lot of hairsplitting and labelled a subset of Jews to be bad in the past too. Google "Cosmopolitan Jew". If you rationalize a way acceptable to hate a subset of of Jews, you make it more likely people will look the other way on hatred of all Jews.

In the past the Nazis made people feel it wasn't really antisemitism to hate only the Cosmopolitan Jews and those people looked the other way when they attacked Jewish businesses and synagogues. Their ultimate goal was to eliminate all Jews in Europe.

Right now your being told it's not antisemitism if you only hate only the Zionist Jews and you're looking the other way when Jewish businesses and synagogues are being attacked. The propaganda you're reading is coming from people whose goal is to eliminate all Jews in the Middle East.

You're just rationalizing how Israel is the fascist to avoid facing the nature of the movement you're a part of.

What do you think it would be like to be part of a fascist movement? Being angry all the time? Being given a target for your hatred? Supporting an antidemocratic, misogynistic, homophobic regime? Being told a democracy is tyrannical? Being told the media is being controlled by... well... you know? Marching alongside people that want genocide?

What would tip you off that you're part of a fascist movement? I guess as long as they keep you angry, you don't have time to think about it.
