US Special Envoy to Antisemitism Elan Carr announced on Sunday that the
Trump Administration intends, as a method of combating antisemitism, to
review and potentially revise diplomatic relations with any nations that are deemed anti-Israel or anti-Zionist.
Carr said nations found wanting in this way would face “frank and candid
conversations behind closed doors” from US officials. Carr added that
this is a continuation of the administration making a clear decision to
equate anti-Zionism with antisemitism.
Historically, Zionism referred to supporting the establishment of a
Jewish homeland within the historical holy land. Since this happened in
1948, Zionism has increasingly morphed to mean Israeli government
policies in general, and a general policy of territorial expansion.
Doing this while equating it to antisemitism has effectively broadened
that term to include public opposition to the Israeli government’s
policies. Unsurprisingly, Israel has been very keen to see this
equation.
It’s not clear if this will mean anything in practice, as the nations
that the US generally regards as anti-Israel are states like Saudi
Arabia and the GCC, and the US is similarly eager to defer to them on
foreign policy matters.
It includes a few of our NATO allies too, from Norway to Turkey.
If this wrecks our relations with the GCC and NATO, nothing could be better because it would undermine the warmongering the US is doing with them.
USA wants to bully the world to make them kiss Zionist rump as US government does.
So, what else is new?
Trump moved the American embassy to Jerusalem. He should move the US capital to Tel Aviv, including all of congress as they are all working for Israel anyway.
6675, that is a great point! 🙂
Anti-zionism should never be equated with anti-semitism.
Watch Rabbi Weiss discuss the real differences between zionism and judaism.
This is getting ridiculously dangerous.
Here I was thinking Trump might pull the reins in on the military…. Silly me.
I mean, as soon as the Saudis signed that arms deal, we knew it would be more of the same…
Sad.
What once was called United States of America no longer exists as such. It was anaxed by Israel long time ago.Since there was no resistance as you see in Palestine the anexation went smoothly and unnoticed by the outer world.
