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.

It's a settler-colonial project, which means it requires an endless supply of bodies to throw into the project of subjugating and colonizing "the frontier." The more they can create and feed the perception of ubiquitous antisemitism everywhere in the world--for instance, by insisting that college students protesting the settler-colonial genocide are actually calling for the destruction of Jews--the easier it is to sell the idea that they are the only "safe haven," and thus the more bodies they get to throw into the machine.
