You have to remind yourself that Jewish people are just as negatively affected by this incorrect narrative, if not more. Jews are not a monolyth, and yet they are treated as such in the media. A nation state (if you want to call it that) is not synonymous with Judaism. We are watching an entire, vulnerable culture hijacked by imperial interests and capital with the intent of wiping out another vulnerable culture. Israel and their population is being used as a proxy and a buffer for the rich and powerful within the west to accomplish their goals in the Middle East.
The facts are there, but the way they are presented matters. Yes, Israel is trying to censor our politicians and media in the US. Yes, most Israelis are Jews, but not all Jews are Israeli, and not all Israeli Jews necessarily agree with Israel. Israel is actively breeding Anti-Semitic sentiment by constantly associating their horrific and unlawful actions to the will of Jews. They further endanger Jews by misrepresenting their opposition and protests against them as antisemitetic. It ends up clouding the real rise of antisemitism in the world and causes people to treat it unseriously. They are doing the opposite of keeping Jews safe, and they are endangering them elsewhere in the world.
In regard to controlling the media, the fact of the matter is that we’ve left ourselves vulnerable in the United States by letting anyone limit our free press and government. That includes lobbyists from any country, let alone one that’s actively committing genocide.
Given your comment, I’m sure you know all of this, but others might not.
