ISRAEL IS ANTI-SEMITIC. They've proven time and time again. They have collaborated with Nazis, fascists and anti-Semites of every stripe, most of the people who praise Hitler and the Holocaust also praise Israel, and the state reviles and oppresses Jews who aren't white Zionists

Israel supports Neo-Nazis in Ukraine. They sell weapons to an army which includes the openly Nazi Azov Battalion. Israel is close allies with the Kiev regime which permits anti-Semitic rallies and which honours Ukrainian Nazi collaborators as heroes

In the 70s and 80s Israel armed and aided the military junta in Argentina which massacred Jews and harboured Nazis war criminals. Israel also armed and aided the Garcia Meza dictatorship in Bolivia, whose regime included Nazi fugitive Klaus Barbie

In 2015 Netanyahu defended Hitler, repeating a Nazi conspiracy theory that Hitler never wanted to start the Holocaust but was forced to by Palestinian Muslims. Jews, Muslims, Germans and Holocaust experts universally responded with outrage and bafflement

Israel is currently negotiating a huge arms and oil deal with Philippines president Duterte, who in 2017 declared "I am a fascist" and in 2016 compared himself favourably to Hitler while vowing to "slaughter" three million Philippines citizens for being drug users

Israel presents itself as the homeland of all Jews but has a long history of discrimination against Jews who are not Ashkenazim (European-derived mostly white Jews). Particular Jewish victims of Israeli discrimination are the Mizrahi (Middle Eastern Jews) and north African Jews

After the founding of Israel in 1948, Israeli leadership manufactured the category of Mizrahi, conflating many diverse communities across the Mideast into one artificial category which they could claim was rooted solely in Palestine, lending legitimacy to their homeland argument

Millions of Jews both Mizrahi and Asheknazi poured into Israel, but Ashkenazim were given luxurious homes and neighbourhoods while Mizrahim were left in slums and ghettos. Police shooting of an unarmed Moroccan Jew in 1959 led to riots by Mizrahi residents

Jews from India, the Bene Israel, were considered by Ashekanazi clergy (including Chief Rabbi of Israel) to not really be Jewish and forbade other Jews from marrying them without first conducting a full ancestral investigation and a forced (re)conversion

The biggest victims of Israel's antisemitism have been the black Ethiopian Jewish community, the Beta Israel. For decades they were denied entry to Israel, said by authorities to not really be Jewish, despite a history dating back to 325 AD. They used the slur Falasha, "landless"

Since the first arrival of sizeable numbers of Ethiopian Jews in Israel after the 1980s they have faced constant racism including visa denial, mass deportation and even forced sterilization of women. In 2005 43% of Israelis said they wouldn't want their kids marrying an Ethiopian

In 2016 Israel admitted to forcibly sterilizing Ethiopian women at migrant camps, sometimes telling them they were vaccinations. The drug they used had been rejected by the FDA for 20 years due to health risks and its history of forced testing on Africans

White supremacists and antisemites are aware of Israel's importance to their cause. Just look at Trump, or his proven Nazi-sympathizing advisors Steve Bannon, who spoke at the American Zionist Organization, and Sebastian Gorka, who spoke at an antiterrorism conference in Tel Aviv

Zionists regularly defend white supremacists while calling anti-Zionists racist. Alan Dershowitz has insisted that Steve Bannon, who has praised Nazis like Charles Maurras and Jean Raspail, is not anti-Semitic; but Dershowitz says Black Lives Matter is, for criticizing Israel

British Zionists, including journalist Julia Hartley-Brewer and former chief rabbi Lord Sacks, call Jeremy Corbyn a racist for his anti-Zionism; but both praised Enoch Powell, an MP who once said immigration would lead to a "river of blood" and asked "What's wrong with racism?"

Another prominent journalist said Corbyn is WORSE than Powell because at least "his racism is consigned to the history books". (Powell was an MP til 1987) This is the Zionist mentality. Nazis are harmless nowadays, so might as well partner with em against anti-Zionists & Muslims

Neo-Nazi leader Richard Spencer has praised Israel as an icon of a successful ethnostate, saying "Jews exist precisely because you did not assimilate [...] I respect that about you. I want my people to have that same sense of themselves." This is a common attitude among Nazis

Former leader of the KKK David Duke proudly retweeted a post from Netanyahu's son, an anti-Semitic meme attacking George Soros. The Daily Stormer reported "Netanyahu's Son Posts Awesome Meme Blaming the Jews for Bringing Down his Jew Father"

In turn, Netanyahu's son defended the Nazi murderers in Charlottesville, saying "To put things in perspective [...] the thugs of Antifa and BLM who hate my country (and America too in my view) just as much are getting stronger and becoming super dominant in [U.S.] public life"

From the very beginning Zionism depended on anti-Semitism. It relies on the concept of "negation of the diaspora", the idea that Jews belong in the homeland where they can be strong, and the Jews outside the homeland are weak, rightly reviled, the cause of their own genocides
