Good morning. I am gaining understanding overall. Can you articulate further the if this is said to me, then ….

I get the antisemitic trope is BS. I get that Jews did not create and are not responsible for Zionism.

Please help me understand.

Thank you.

Please pardon my late response. To try and help answer your point, try to think a bit deeper and consider about the "core" narrative, in addition to how certain opposing narratives reinforce or contradict those narratives. For example, on the issue of alt-right racism in the U.S.: the majority of the time when white supremacists/neo-Nazis co-opt the "right wing," you will notice that the left condemns it but in a "giddy" manner of feeling proudly validated of their generic "right-wing = racist" narrative. However, when the alt-right in occasions co-opt the left, average leftists will condemn it in a "freakout" manner of trying to distance themselves for once again intuitively blatant reasons (albeit different ones).

Whenever neo-Nazis co-opt the pro-Palestine movement, this serves as -- in the eyes of Zionists -- "validation" of their narrative that "Palestinian supporters attract antisemites." Hopefully you are seeing the picture here?

No problem at all, my friend -- glad to hear that there's other committed moralists likewise actively wary of the alt-right entryist-infiltration problem.
