Ayyy, marone! As a 60th generation survivor of the sack of Rome, this is very disrespectful!

“When I am writing an email to a filmmaker, I’m writing as a filmmaker, somebody who’s bringing the truth to the world,” he continued. “That is my goal here. To show what started everything. The atrocities, the mini-Holocaust that happened there, that we as a nation, we as the world cannot stand still and silent and just move on. Now, it doesn’t mean that I’m not pro-Palestinian. I am pro-two state solution. I have Palestinian friends. I am a left wing filmmaker, but this is not a left or right wing thing. This is just something that the whole world should see it. So that’s my mission.”

Israeli "left wing filmmaker", whose politically-enlightened "left wing" but still centrist analysis of the Palestinian situation is that "Hamas started all the violence when they attacked on October 7th".

It's become abundantly clear that the only reason many think the Holocaust was bad was that it was done on Jews.

Time is a cyclical hell

You know, it was originally titled Terminator 2: Judging Day. It was written as a quirky mockumentary about contest judges.

Needs more squibs

wouldnt israel want jewish people living abroad to feel unsafe so more join their project?

I'm going to avoid giving them clear motivation for why they do this

I won't pretend to understand the Zionist motivations at work here - except maybe that they think they can harness the Christian psychosis to achieve their own ends - but I can tell you exactly why a bunch of Christians support this shit. They, like Mike Flynn and this other guy subscribe to a wild, apocalyptic version of Christianity, and they literally believe that a world war based around events in Israel will herald the coming of Christ.

So it's actually good to support horrific war in that area, because it means that soon Jesus will come and fix everything.

This is the actual stuff I was taught as a child. This is what my parents believe. War in the middle east is good because it could bring Jesus.

Islamophobic and anti-Semitic strategy of tension

So that Nazis go more hog wild and Jewish people don't feel safe anywhere anymore, so they go to Israel, thus getting the diaspora back to Israel and furthering the settler-colonial project.

I dunno. I think the playbook for antisemitic conspiracy theories is a lot simpler than that. They're just looking at the ways that capital and power tend to operate and saying "capital and power are actually good. this is all being done by one specific race of people who look white but actually aren't."

In the US, capital and power are behind Israel, therefore their actions align with those described by antisemites. The antisemitic part is just ascribing these actions to the Jews.

This is a fun way to enjoy The Battle of Algiers as well, just losing it every time a French cop or soldier gets merced
