    Honestly, my perception of the antisemite/Zionist crossover has always been that is there’s a Jewish state then there’s a place for Jews to go that isn’t here.

    I don’t know though, that may be entirely too rational for a worldview founded on ignorance-fueled emotions.

      Let me introduce you to THE MADAGASCAR PLAN! TLDR-The Nazis planned on sending all the Jews to Madagascar so they’d get out of Europe. They thought to send them to Palestine first, but the British controlled that and the guy planning it didn’t want the Jews too close to Europe.

      Its really more religious from my understanding. The idea that Jesus will come back sometime after the jewish temple gets rebuilt, I think, is what is being spread. Isreal has to be a sovereign nation for the end of the world to kick off.

      This was a large part of the discussion in Europe at the end of WW2.

      Germany wasn’t the only country trying to decide an answer to “the Jewish question.” Some advocates may have had good intentions, but many just didn’t want to open their borders to Jewish refugees, and the idea of Israel was a convenient way for them to wash their hands of it.
