How can they say they love Israel but also say Jews run everything and be generally negative towards Jews here?
Edited to add:
It's a common tactic with fascist regimes. Nazis used to do it with Jewish propaganda by simultaneously claiming that Jews were weak vermin that needed to be exterminated and that they are this supervillain that controls all the money.
You currently see it a lot with the people chanting "Genocide Joe" and claiming he is some mastermind warhawk with at the same time claiming that he is some feeble, senile old man. He's Schrödinger's politician!
Ah I remember the days of "Obama, The Weak-Willed Tyrant" an incompetent man with a genius level intellect according to Fox News..
Edit: For context, I'm talking about 2008-2015ish when the Right claimed Obama was too soft to stand up to America's enemies and was this "weak child of a man", and that he was also this evil corrupt tyrant who gave no one an inch, claiming him to be a moron and yet also a diabolical mastermind plotting the Muslim Takeover of America
The amount of Racism was fucking unreal. Especially down here in the South, I rolled my eyes at a lot of "Vote for the Mormon, not the Muslim!" in 2012
Obama's not even Arabic! Why the fuck did everyone think he was a muslim? And even if he was, who fucking cares?
Do you remember during the 2008 campaign when there was criticism over Obama's pastor being too outspoken in his church? In back to back segments fox would reflect on Obama's dangerous version of Christianity while also saying he was a Muslim...
Barack Hussein Obama
I don't know man. You tell me.
I feel like most people believe one or the other and the internet makes groups feel like one big person.
I feel like that may be true also, but I was referring to the groups pushing the agenda/propaganda, not the ones being affected by it. The ones propagandizing doublethink are the big issue IMO.
You have gravely misunderstood the Genocide Joe label, lol
So what do you think the Republican leadership hopeful Nikki Haley meant by writing "finish them" on an Israeli bomb?
Liberals 🤣
That's almost the most evasive thing you could have said. The question was what do you think the Republican leadership hopeful Nikki Haley meant by writing “finish them” on an Israeli bomb?
That they're as genocidal as the Democrats.
That doesn't make Biden a criminal mastermind playing 4d chess, it makes him a head of state who supports it.
This doesn't make sense bro, are you ok?
What, exactly, doesn't make sense to you?
You're equating Biden, who said don't bomb Rafah with Hayley who said kill them all? Riiiiight.
"Ooohhh don't bomb them with the bombs we gave you we'll do nothing if you do despite multiple laws requiring us to not keep giving you bombs ohhhh noooo"
And you people wonder why the actual left keeps muttering about what happens when you get scratched, lul.
Well, actually there's the law passed in 2008 requiring him to ensure that Israel is better armed than all of its neighbours.
The election is on a knife edge according to the polls. Who do you think would be worse for Gaza, Biden or Trump?
Trump.
Now stop pretending Biden isn't enabling a genocide, that his baseline Constitutional powers don't give him plenty of authority by themselves, and the dozens of laws and treaties prohibiting America from arming a genocidal state don't apply because this one law you haven't actually read says "nuh uh, this is a SUPER law."
Now stop pretending that allowing Trump to win means worse atrocities in Gaza and more encouragement for despots everywhere, including for Russia winning the war invading Ukraine.
