They know that and they're betting on being able to complete the ethnic cleansing and have it completely normalized by the west. Every neoliberal politician in the world is trying their hardest to shut down opposition because they also want to do the same to their own "undesirables".

I can't disagree with that at all. Beyond the obvious concern for others, my concern about this false campaign also includes myself. It's not dissimilar to the Jussie Smollett situation in the ways it will be used to deny injustices that have occurred. I'm not Jewish, but I am a POC in the US.

For example, the ADL does not just call out hatred against the Jewish community but other marginalized groups as well. The far right has been attacking the organization's credibility since its inception. They have now decreased or destroyed their credibility with those on the center-right and left by equating criticism of Israel with antisemitism. This includes myself. When they speak out about any actual hate, regardless of the target, it will now fall on deaf ears.

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir, but I'm frustrated that I don't see a way that this doesn't lead to more people espousing more extreme-right ideology.
