Zionism among evangelical Christians is antisemitic. They don't give a flying fuck about the Jews having a place to live; they just want them to have a place to go away from here.
And they want to kickstart the apocalypse, of which a precondition is the Jews returning to the Holy Land, so there's that. (They expect said Jews to burn while they themselves get Raptured, of course.)
At least half are just following and have no idea what they are actually saying, the other half know and all are bitches.
It all comes down to who is browner, yanks lack spines only whoring themselves out to the right money
Sure, those phrases have been used against Jews, I'm not denying that. I'm also not denying that the Republican party is wrong in most things. But those phrases don't actually say who is behind the curtain, or puppeting billionaires. They could be implicating anyone.
The use of stylized language like that has long been "I'm blaming Jews, but want to pretend it's something else when called on it"
Yep, it's what we call a dog whistle.
That's what a (probably intentional) lack of education does to people.
Republican politicians can openly use traditional antisemitic narratives that a majority of people doesn't recognize anymore as a dogwhistle again.
Trump as well as -idiotic as it is- Israel's government can openly steal from Hitler's rhetoric.
People wanting to peacefully protest for Palestine miss the very obvious antisemitc clues of some people standing right beside them and supporting their message for the completely wrong reason, this way delegitimizing their actual cause.
And in the end any nuanced and informed discussion (that is important for a working democracy) gets derailed and replaced by polarisation and brain-dead tribalism.
Mission accomplished... And the people behind that mission definitely aren't part of some global conspiracy (of Jews or others) but mostly just right populists and authoritarians operating independently or loosely allied at best with the same well-tested anti-democracy playbook.
