Israeli and Zionist influence in the USA is a purposeful choice of the American government. It allows the American government to circumvent many domestic and international laws by allowing Israeli firms to do the spying and dirty work for them. Israel is essentially a rogue state that is entirely controlled by the American intelligence apparatus (and therefore, American capital). This has created a feedback loop of constantly reinforcing settler colonialism and American economic extraction of the Middle East. If America withdrew support to Israel, this feedback loop would cease and Israel would be greatly diminished or completely collapse.

Saying Israel controls America is simply wrong, stop saying this. I will remove your post. ✌️

    Oh we got 2 threads about this. I’ll post the same thing in both. I will not argue with anyone about this.

    “Isreal has a powerful lobby with lots of Western backing and a far reaching influence as a result” is fine.

    “I’m gonna use neo Nazi terminology that originates from white supremacist conspiracy views about how Jews secretly control everything” is not.

    It’s honestly not even that complicated. One is factual. The other is neo Nazi propaganda. Hexbear can do better. Death death to the IOF

      the issue here is that nobody seems to know who or what the fuck yall are talking about with this nazi propaganda supposedly being an issue on hexbear. who here can say they’ve run into antisemites or antisemitism here? i’ve read about a billion posts on this site criticizing israel, israel’s influence in western governments. not once have i read any sort of antisemitic conspiracy theories, it’s all based entirely in material analysis and using our own eyeballs and ears.

      some mod can make a post like this, then suddenly criticizing aipac is antisemitic and posts about who is taking money from israel, or about how you have to sign a loyalty pledge to israel to be a fuckin mailman in the US will be removed for “antisemitism”

      i really think mods need to hold some sort of vote on this, because judging by the replies in this thread the userbase seems to really not know what yall are on. i can’t speak for everyone ofc but i do not wanna use a website that conflates criticisms of the zionist entity with being antisemitic. hexbear is quite literally the only place online where at least right now, you can freely criticize israel without being censored or fearing that you’re secretly interacting with a bunch of nazis. granted i dont look at the mod log, maybe there are a ton of antisemites washing their antisemitism with criticisms of israels. i definitely don’t see it tho and it doesn’t seem like anyone else on this site does either?
