    Israelis need a perpetual threat to justify their existence.

    Its not in their interest to remove Nazis anymore.

        Ethnonationalism is a single ideology, people just happen to be born into different ethnicities. Zionists have always been allied with British antisemites, because “a homeland for the Jews” means Britain can be “a homeland for Anglo-Saxons” and vice versa.

        Violent ethnonationalism was normalized in the western world largely because of mainstream defense of Israel. If Israelis are the good guys when committing genocide to get rid of other ethnic groups where they live, why wouldn’t neo-nazis be?

        And so Labour and every institution to the right of them is promoting neo-nazism. And so you get this.

        Maybe without Israel other ethnonationalists would still be thriving, but governments would have less of an incentive to support them. There are less disruptive ways to keep the working class divided.

          Is this a piss take?

          And so Labour and every institution to the right of them is promoting neo-nazism

          You can’t honestly believe this.
