letting aside the fact that this looks as a false flag attack, they are not doing any favour to their voter base. Zionism and judaism are not the same thing, no matter how much these assholes repeat it.

Maybe, just maybe, if Israel stopped their genocide in Gaza, people would stop hating Israel.

I am perfectly fine with jews and their religion. But as any normal person would, I'm not ok with a bunch of nazis commiting a genocide. If being against genocide is, for them, being antisemitic, then so be it. I want to be in the right side of history and their words have no meaning anymore. Fuck israel.

Bernie and AOC have been doing this for way to long to not know what they are doing. Many people have brought this to their attention. This is 100% malicious and intentional.

Whenever Zionists are the victim they are 'Jewish'.

Whenever Zionists are the perpetrator and people call them Jewish because of this conflation, they become antisemites.

This conflation is a prime cover for the genocide in which AOC and Bernie are heavily complicit.

I really REALLY wish people would stop conflating people getting consequences for supporting a genocide with antisemitism, it always reads like it's in bad faith, Palestinians are semites too

These two are the equivalent of staged actors. They are role playing progressive, far left politicians. They vote for and are neo-liberals, always. They both support Israel/Zionism/genocide, despite whatever rhetoric they speak.
