I’ve had several instances in the past few weeks in which I’ve spoken to otherwise politically oblivious people and heard actual condemnation of the genocide. Followed up with the conflation of Israel with Jews, ascribing all the awful shit the piece of shit country to Jews in general.

Who could have possibly seen this coming?

Actual antisemitism (hatred of jews rather than questioning isn’treal) has been an american thing since day one. Columbus left Spain on his famous voyage while his financial backers were expelling jews who had been there for centuries at least, I wouldn’t be surprised at all to find that some of the money for his three ships came from expelled jews.

I’m half jewish and can count the number of antisemitic comments I’ve heard in my life on one hand, but one was just a few weeks ago when I was at the supply store for my blue collar job, a wretched hive of rightwing scum and villainy, where one of the white boomers there said something about “jewing someone down” right next to me. This dude also almost certainly supports amerikkka committing suicide to defend isn’treal. I of course couldn’t say a fucking word to this piece of shit because then I would have trouble doing basic shit for my job for the rest of my career in this hellhole.
