 Someone once said to you – I think it was Kronawetter –: “Anti-Semitism is the socialism of the dumb guy.” That might be a neat thought but it is not accurate at all. The true supporters of anti-Semitism, the small business- and landowners are not wrong, from theirpoint of view. To them, capital mostly appears in the shape of the Jew.  From August Bebel (one of the founders of the German Social Democracy)  “In Hesse and other parts of south-west Germany, for example, where I am familiar with the situation, all mortgages are owned by Jews and whoever wants to buy agrarian supplies finds Jews at every market.  That is how, to common people, the ills of capitalism always appear in the guise of the Jew and it is only natural that these classes, unaccustomed to brooding over the capitalist system, draw from their actual, real life experiences and fall victim to anti-Semitism. “ At the same time, small businesses face strong competition from Jewish corporations: clothing-, shoe- and textile

Ult Neoconservatism  Ult Neoconservatism is an ideology that's influenced by Globalization , Coastal Intellectualism , bourgeois without a homeland influenced ideology that is noticeably appealing in the United States. Early history Ult  neoconservatism born out of the Northeast  Academic Intelligentsia . Then former Trotskyists who soon grew tired with communism and the left wing overall, due to its anti-Semitism and anti-west sentiment and anti-americanism in the USSR (like following the Great Purge etc) These ult neoconservatives most pressing concern morphed the welfare of Israel, created in 1948 so these multi ethnic, religiously diverse ult neoconservatives could come together against the USSR being their common foe, by uniting the West- the US and Israel as a pre NATO type of alliance to keep the USSR from going after the West, Jews and the US in particular When the 1970s arrived, these ult neocons were leaning deeper and deeper into more of an authoritarian stance in thei

 rdded  Why did Jesus not overthrow the Roman Empire? That Jesus didn't come to overthrow the Roman Empire is why the Jews rejected Him, but that was NOT His duty or mission to liberate Judea from the Romans  Jesus told the Jews to not fight back against the Roman occupiers. It angers many people, but Christians are taught to not physically fight our oppressors whether its an idolatrous emperor or a slave master As He told Pilate, “my kingdom is not of this world”. Meaning He was not sent to overthrow the Roman Empire. The jews wanted the messiah to be another kind of Maccabean revolutionary. What they wanted mirrors what a lot of christians nowadays want. They wanted the messiah to come and show everyone that the Jews were the chosen people, while the Jews stood in the background and flipped the romans the bird and said “boy don’t you wish you would have listened to us when you all had the chance” It’s mirrored in Jonah’s attitude towards Nineveh, after he’s done ministering to th

 A lot of the early Zionists were said to to be Socialists. The USSR was one of the first countries to recognize Israel as a country, Israel won the 1948 war against the Arabs in large part due to arms shipments that came from Communist Czechoslovakia, many of the early kibbutzim were proto Socialist communities(Noam Chomsky worked on one), David Ben Gurion (founding father of Israel) was the leader of ‘Mapai’ the ‘Workers Party’ which is a Democratic Socialist organization. A lot of the Old Left was pro Israel as a result. There was enormous sympathy for the new Jewish state because of the WWII, also in 1948 Israel looked like the more progressive option compared to the feudal Arab regimes which surrounded Israel. A party that rules Israel with the Liberal, national democratic values mentioned here held by the protesters  with a touch of Le ft Wing Z ioni sm   A left wing Israeli government that is like Israel's version of the Left Anarchist state of Rojava (see here , here )
