I honestly don’t get it.

Do they just love Trump/Musk so much that they’ll make up any stupid ass excuse to distract from not one but TWO VERY OBVIOUS sieg heils from a WHITE SOUTH AFRICAN who grew up during apartheid? Is it because they’re actually all secretly nazis themselves?

I had someone IRL the other day give the old “Oh he’ just AUTISTIC and does FUNNY ARM GESTURES all the tiiiiiime!” excuse, I couldn’t believe my ears. I figured outside of the Apartheid Defence League leadership nobody actually thought like that, but sure enough, they actually do.

What gives?

EDIT: I did not mean to imply in the title that Zionazis have large penises.

    i imagine it’s a bit trivial to do mental gymnastics about gestures when you’re practised in doing them over murdered children.

    western antisemites present a bit of a present danger against jewish people living in the west but the fundamental pillar of zionism trying to bind jewish identity to the settler ethnostate means it’s not existential, because they don’t and can’t threaten israel. it’s hard to think of an analogy but i reckon it’s something like recasting diaspora jews (and this logic is literally built into that descriptor) as expatriates–and while a nation/people has some obligation to sympathy, support for expatriate or immigrant communities crackdowns on them are not seen the same way as attacks on the nation. it seems necessary for real zionists to forsake their homelands in deference to israel even if they don’t actually move there themselves.

      diaspora jews

      I have come to view this term of “diaspora Jews” (when used by Zionazis) as inherently antisemitic. Jews should be able to live wherever the fuck they want, why are they “diaspora” if they reside outside of the zionist entity?

        I saw a video of some representative of Israel (forgot name, Anne Applebaum? Some nasty old white lady) giving a speech at an American university and one of the audience asked about antisemitism in America and Europe. Her response was insane, along the lines of “you American Jews don’t have problems. we have real problems in Israel and if you aren’t part of our murderous project I don’t give a shit about whatever you are complaining to me about. If you hate that, move to Israel.”

        you could hear the hatred in her voice, she was really pissed at the implication Israel should be doing someone for Jews who haven’t contributed to the Zionist project. What an intensely cynical “nation”, death to the Zionist entity.

        My girlfriend just shared this comic with me that shows how isntrealis depict themselves vs those who live in diaspora.
