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?

I'd say that your dad’s previous opinion about the Jews was just plain antisemitism, except he held them up on a pedestal, holding the Jews up as superhuman or something. And now he feels the opposite about the Jews, he thinks they are scum, similar views that the Nazis had. It's still antisemitism.

Bingo. Western philosemitism is just another face of antisemitism.
