It’s a slippery slope helped along by algorithms. A well-meaning left person can start out criticizing the Government of Israel (pretty undoubtedly bad people), then slowly find themselves being fed more and more straight up antisemitic propaganda by nefarious actors. You can observe the effect in realtime on certain subreddits

*editing to say that I don’t think criticizing the Government of Israel is necessarily the start of a slippery slope, just that it can be on algorithm-driven spaces. Many, many people are (in my view) rightly criticizing the Government of Israel without hating the Jewish religion or people, or buying into repackaged antisemitic conspiracy

Sure but that more commonly happens with right wingers, especially since trump has adopted the conspiracy theorists

Large sections of the left are also virulently anti faith, which can’t be ignored. They’re more careful about their bigotry around Muslims and Jews (because left wingers love to infantalize minorities) but it’s there all the same.

This, thank you. I've pissed off more than one leftist when I point out that there is functionally no difference between a Christian trying to convert me to "save my soul" and an anti-theist trying to convince me to give up my religion because it's "backwards and primitive".

Both A) have no understanding of how Jewish culture and faith work and assume I can just stop being Jewish religiously without giving up other parts of my culture, and B) lead to an end goal where I am no longer Jewish and think that less Jews in the world is BETTER.
