      Well yes of course, I posted the article to pose the question, can we call out actual antisemitism if it is on the right and not the left bogeyman US media has been hyping up the illusion of and panicking about since the beginning of the Palestinian Genocide?

      Honestly I don’t think the right is capable of doing it internally, they will evolve into actual scary as fuck antisemitism rather than have an internal reckoning especially around the topic of the Palestinian Genocide. They are going to choose “Blame the Jews!” as a scapegoat for having to reckon with the fact that they violently ignored that their government was directly complicit in the Genocide Of Palestinians. This is of course, exactly what Netanyahu was banking on to retain power. The only way Netanyahu and Israel can defend its own bigotry, apartheid and genocide is if the oposition is equally racist and scares Jews into hateful ideologies. There is no other way it can work, the truth is too shocking and ugly for any other kind of system of lies to hold up.
