This is one of the 59 Afrikaners personally welcomed at Dulles airport by the deputy secretary of State and in what Marco Rubio called a “tremendous accomplishment”. That’s the same Marco Rubio who personally cancelled visas of darker skinned people who signed Gaza protest letters.

Racism is the goal, protecting jews is the excuse.

      The average Republican doesn’t like Jews at all. By religious nuts, Israel is viewed as the guarantor of control over the Holy Land, and for slightly less religious nuts Muslims are just worse than Jews. Therefore anti-semitism is fine, not supporting the state of Israel isn’t. Crazy world.

      This statement is way too fucking true. My wife was verbally abused by a right-winger for representing the Australian Greens a few weeks ago, being labelled an “anti-Semite”. For anyone that is curious… The greens are outwardly condemning Israel and are not in the slightest anti-Semitic.

          Your brain is extremely insular. We have MAGA fuck wits here too.

          There was a wave of vandalism in Australia that was basically a false flag (someone was paying petty criminals to graffiti Jewish landmarks), and it caused Parliament to pass a bunch of draconian laws to ‘fight anti-Semitism’. Criticising Israel can definitely get you in trouble in Australia as well.

      It blows my mind how many of the MAGA/Qanon folks openly talk shit about Jews with comments about things like “Jewish Space Lasers” and whatnot, and it’s perfectly acceptable. Anyone with a shade darker than white or not in that camp opposes an actual genocide, and they’re a terrorist. I know I know, rules for thee not for me bs. It’s just exhausting. And any attempt to try to point this out to MAGAts is pointless.
