Why is all US news antisemitic? What are all the reasons Zionism is antisemitic? I vaguely agree but I don't totally understand. (hexbear.net)

I think any race conspiracy gives power to Nazis and immediately puts Jewish people at more danger. Making both US news and Zionism antisemitic. That's all I've put together.

I really should've asked this in a post long ago, I just feel embarrassed about not knowing.

Zionists conflate Jewishness and the existence of the political state of Israel. To the point that any Jew that does not support Israel as a state or the actions of Israel is considered not a real Jew or a kind of race traitor.

To add on to this, conflating those two things then gives ammo to actual anti-semites when Israel does fucked up shit. Committing a genocide while saying “We represent all Jews! And we are doing genocide for Jewish reasons!” understandably makes people associate Jewishness with doing genocide.
