Jews are not systemically oppressed anymore but clearly certain reactionaries sure do want them to be.
Collective punishment is always wrong. You can't just make your whole ideology out of fuckinslammer memes or you turn into this person.
Parenti fucking rolling in his grave rn. You do not get to invoke a foundational modern marxist while doing the opposite of material analysis.
Would you apply the same logic to Christians? Arguably Christians have done far more harm. Or are you defining Jews as an ethnicity? How is that better? Is there something genetic or is it religious?
These may seem like silly semantic differences but they are actually important and the people that make either argument are wrong for the same reason: Collective punishment and collective guilt is always reactionary.
Ironically some of these same people would say I am doing Jewish exceptionalism but are they not doing the same thing claiming this is an exceptionally Jewish form of fascism.
I do not believe such distinctions are productive but rather only serve to excuse one's own participation in similar relations. By invoking some sort of Jewish exceptionalism you are only absolving yourself of guilt and complicity. By definition when you claim there is some sort of Jewish exceptionalism at play you are implying they are a special uniquely bad group apart from the international white supremacist project that enables and requires the existence of Israel.
You claim to be denouncing special treatment of Jewish persecution and overcorrect into actual Nazism. Or to be more accurate I guess Strasserism.
I no longer care if people want to call me a zionist for pointing this out. You are just embarassed white supremacists trying to offload your crimes onto Israel, there is nothing Israel has done that the rest of the west has not done tenfold, all are complicit and blaming it on Jews is just Nazi shit. I will fight to the death for the Palestinian people but I will not tolerate any single person implying collective guilt. This goes for everyone, white, black arab, persian, etc.
Zionist Jewish institutions are using the fear of rising far-right anti-semitism that they are essentially allied with for the greater
project against anti-zionists, including anti-zionist Jews.
There's basically a "blue wall of silence" protecting and perpetuating this process in the majority of influential Jewish and Zionist institutions. I agree it is dangerous and sloppy to equate Jewishness with Zionism full stop, but there is also a very real materialist relation between most mainstream Jewish institutions and Zionism in a very significant majority of cases, and it is often obfuscated in mainstream discourse to discredit any anti-zionist perspective that seeks to highlight this.
I think the resolution of the contradiction has to come from making the oppression of anti-zionists (Jewish and non-Jewish) by zionists (Jewish and non-Jewish) the axis of the discourse. I think highlighting that contradiction deflates the power of the zionists to wield anti-semitism as a cudgel and a shield. The entity works diligently alongside zionists to muddy this distinction. Any input on the discourse from a Jewish person likely needs to include a statement on their position on zionism/the entity. That very quickly can clear things up. Part of the muddying is often a pivot to "two state", equivocating on "ethnostate", etc. This needs to be strongly opposed.
That's about as simply as I can state my understanding of these things.
