Just realized that I forgot to include the actual post, so here's a screenshot
This very much aligns with the letter he supposedly sent to Bibi. "Plays into all the stereotypes" isn't coming from a place of malice toward Israel. Like the letter it sounds like a guy who is on their side but disagrees with how they are going about things.
And, a guy that refuses to be bullied. Bullied by removing funding. Which many Zionist causes do. Its not secret. They try to primary people. Multiple Republicans have told stories like this.
Doesn't mean Bibi isn't behind the murder or involved in some way but its far from any type of smoking gun. If anything this shows what kind of guy Kirk was. The Jew hating crowd desperately wants this to be what Candace is saying it is. The right wanted this to be a radical leftist. The left wanted this to be a deranged Trump supporter. Everyone seems to have their desires that they bring to this and it clouds it all.

I'd have to disagree with this one. I think the truly "Jew hating" crowd is almost nonexistent. But probably growing.
And people like me, who have just found out about the depth of Israeli involvement and control in US government, are horrified.

Even people like me, who thought they understood the depth of Israeli control over the US, have been pretty surprised at what's unfolded since Trump got elected.
reply
U.S. to send about 200 U.S. soldiers to Israel to "help support and monitor the ceasefire deal in Gaza."

For me, it was on the edge of my awareness, just buried under "politics is nasty, don't get into it".
But now that I'm following some anti Zionist influencers, I'm blown away. It feels like a huge revelation, similar to revelation that "what the FDA says about vaccines isn't necessarily true", that came with covid.
It feels like you can't be too cynical.
Its small but growing, I agree with you. I and MANY others have seen more open antisemitism since Israel response to the attacks. And I agree that Israel's government's actions (or the faction in control now) is creating more haters. Also people like Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro are as well by lumping us all together.
There is a big difference between antisemitism and hating a faction of a government. When I see people replacing Bebe or his party/government with "the Jews" they lost me. Its not a monolith. When I hear people like Ben Shapiro call anyone that disagrees with what is going on in Gaza and not siding with Israel an antisemitic he's lost the plot.
Don't fall into the false boolean. That's the goal of many seeking power. I'm not against "the Jews". I just think Bibi and his group are terrible people that are making the world a worse place for Jews and everyone else.
