This thread shows exactly what I mean why I say that any criticism of Israel being immediately labelled anti-Semitic is one of the most stupid and persistent tropes in western politics.
Does criticising Saudi Arabia for its treatment of journalists and apostates mean you hate Muslims?
Does criticising the Vatican's handling of the child sex abuse scandals mean you hate Catholics?
Does criticising Myanmar over the Rohinga Muslims mean you hate Buddhists?
The answer to all those is clearly no.
Yet any criticism of Israel apparently means you hate Jews.
Maybe that's what she means when she says Israel has hypnotized the world.

Except no it's not that any criticism of Israel is labeled anti-semitic. It's when you invoke anti-semitic tropes in the process of that criticism that it becomes a problem.

Enlighten me because I have no idea why it relates to something specific.
Well you may have heard of another anti-jew trope about where jews run everything? One that goes along with it is the hypnotic jew, the idea that hypnotizing folk is how they achieved this supposed monopoly on everything.

I've heard of the former but not the latter. I'm aware about the accusations around Jewish banking families etc. Never heard of the hypnotism thing though.
It's not meant to suggest legit magic or anything lol. Just them using their wiles to swindle people, essentially.

She even lies and tries to say she never said anything about the loyalty of others lol. Please, I want to see this defended. Somebody take a shot.
