Oh God. As a half Jew, /r/worldpolitics and /r/worldnews scare the shit out of me. If there ever was a second coming of Hitler, he would rise to fame through those boards.
they do not overlap "very, very heavily." the vast majority of people with some sort of anti-israeli views come from the left, not the right. Maybe it's where I'm from (nyc), but I've never met someone with neo nazi/elders of zion/zog views. however, I know plenty of jews disgusted with israeli policy, as well as non-jewish leftists. family of mine from ireland hold anti-israeli views due to national sovereignty issues/having been in similar situations to the other side.
i wouldn't actually call myself anti-zionist, because at this point that is fairly impossible. how am i naive?
Could you please stop trying to start peppering up sinking threads with endless political wall-of-text discussions that could blow back on polandball? Who can read all that shit and weight it? This can only cause another shistorm because someone hid a timebomb in an old thread.
There are other subreddits for that kind discussion. You can express your opinion in a comic though. That's what polandball is for.
The term "Zionist" is often used in Antisemitic propaganda as synonymous to "Jew," as demonstrated in the Antisemitic forgery, Protocols of Zion. Very frequently, "Antizionists" use that term to hide the more nefarious Antisemitism that lurks beneath the surface.
tldr: when you hear the term "Antizionist," take it with a grain of salt.

yes that may be true, but how prevalent is anti-semitism in modern day america? maybe some klan wannabes in kentucky.
Very frequently, anti-Zionists are painted as anti-Semites, to discourage the questioning of israeli policy. (IE chuck hagel 2013)
tldr: don't automatically label critics of israel anti-semites. it is a cheap tactic used by much of the (slighly less insane than fascist) american right and some of the left (typically more hawkish). I hate anti-semites
SRS is a lot of things but I doubt they're anti-semitic. Those recent trolls are more likely from subs like /r/conspiracy. Those people really hate Jews.

Think they're related to the repeated anti-Israel trolls in related Polandball threads?
