I've been trying to point this and an inevitable follow-on to this that is very hard to articulate well. But keep in mind that the largest and most influential group of Zionists are Christian Zionists right here in the US. They do not give a shit about Jewish culture, but they sure get hard for apocalyptic mythology. At the same time, Jews in the US overwhelmingly vote progressive and are active in progressive politics. By fueling a Jews are Israelis first and foremost narrative, at multiple different levels but including in terms of painting anti-Israel as anti-Jewish, the seeds for justifying deportation of large part of the US organized left and a fulfillment of Christian Zionists' apocalypse boners are planted. Couple that with it becoming more and more possible that anyone will be vulnerable to retroactive stripping of citizenship, and i think any Jews feeding into this narrative should be really fucking worried.
