Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

I read it and it confused me. Is this a US thing? I really feel out of the loop here.
I mean in Germany the far right seems to support the Palestinians, but that doesn't apply to the whole right.
Yeah, it's a US thing. For some reason (mostly lobbying), the US has undying support for Israel and criticism of the state gets conflated with antisemitism.
The US has been very anti-arab for decades.
They're also very anti-Semitic, but "white people oppress brown people" is sort of the US right-wing's mission statement, so they side with Israel on this.
