I think any race conspiracy gives power to Nazis and immediately puts Jewish people at more danger. Making both US news and Zionism antisemitic. That’s all I’ve put together.

I really should’ve asked this in a post long ago, I just feel embarrassed about not knowing.

Dual loyalty but actually if you point out that this is an anti semetic trope and that Jews shouldn’t be loyal to a settler colonial state in the Middle East actually it’s you that’s the anti semite

What exactly is dual loyalty?

The idea that a minority in one country can’t be trusted because they might be loyal to another, like when they put Japanese people in camps during WW2

What dumbass chose the word “dual” for being loyal to only one country? I thought it’d mean loyalty to two countries at once.

That’s a great example of the idea of dual loyalty to use to explain to people in the USA because it’s so universally frowned upon today and understood as a barbaric act in the popular culture while being so completely disconnected to the anti-semetic counterpart that it makes for a clean example of the phenomenon. Perfect comparison,

To add to what the comrade said, there is a centuries long history in Europe of Jews being accused of dual loyalty as an excuse to stir up antisemitic fervor and terrorize Jewish populations. The idea only really became common in Africa and the Middle East after the proclamation of the state of Israel and the Nakba which led to the expulsion/fleeing of most of the Jews in these countries who had lived in them relatively peacefully for centuries.
