Fuentes admits all the things weโve been saying:
1) Being Anti-Israel and then Anti-Jew became really popular in 2025 after the historic win by the right in 2024.
2) This virus, targeting the right, was being seeded online by the Left and by Foreign Countries (specifically by Muslim
Countries).
3) Grifters jumped onto it and grew their accounts by spewing anti-Israel and anti-Jewish garbage
4) The anti-Israel and anti-Jewish garbage had to mutate and get more extreme, as it became more popular. Like any drug addiction.
In his video statement condemning the antisemitic bike ride, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner explicitly condemned how antizionists have adopted the term "zio," the KKK/neo-Nazi slur for Jews and made it their own
This may, to my knowledge, be the first time an elected official has done so in such a stark manner
Going forward, it is imperative that whenever antizionist groups or far left activists use the term, it gets called out โ immediately and without hesitation
It is imperative that Jewish groups are familiar with the history and ideology of antizionism and the ways in which the antizionist movement has adopted so much of David Duke's worldview, one that has been shaped by Soviet antizionism and Russian ultranationalism
I have seen firsthand how this slur has been normalized on the British and Irish left โ often without much pushback. This cannot be allowed to happen in the United States and I appreciate Krasner for starting the conversation about how this hateful slur has no place in civilized American political discourse
@Saioa31@JewishWonk@CTFCneExile Plan Dalet, a contingency plan for local commanders, is irrelevant. Nobody claims it was invoked in Haifa, and it wasn't.
Did Shai run an opinion poll? The salient fact is the no Arab was, or even claimed to be, put on a bus/ship out of Haifa.
@Saioa31@JewishWonk@CTFCneExile The numbers do not tell what happened. Here is historian Benny Morris' classic book "1948" https://t.co/UEYJypIcVL
Read pp.140-147, or only p.146 if you have no time:
The Arabs left in spite of appeals to stay by the Jews, by Mayor Levy etc., and threatened by their own AHC.
