Two answers:

For conspiracy theorists: No.
For everyone else: Yes.

For CTs everyone who disagrees with them is a Zionist and/or "secret Jew."

Zionism started as a socialist philosophy to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine, but today it's mostly the ideology that the State of Israel has complete domain of said region -- so not all Israelis are Zionists in this regard.

Then there's even stranger beliefs like Christian Zionism, which is basically support for the State of Israel due to the belief that in order for Jesus to return the State of Israel must exist.

moonbats? you mean hippies?

In my experience on the far left, people rail against Israel because it's the in thing to do, most can't tell you why -- if they do, you can often find opposing examples, which I'll demonstrate. They follow the "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" philosophy left over from the cold war.

Since many Arab states had connection to the USSR, Israel had connection to the US, therefore on the far left Israel is automatically wrong no matter what. Something I constantly bring up is that while it's obvious Israel's killing of innocent people is wrong, far left anti-Zionists never mention the same things happening in Arab countries they support. In fact, as far as I can tell, if an Israeli kills 1 Palestinian, it's a tragedy, but if an Arab kills hundreds of other Arabs, it's irrelevant.

I was often odd man out in the far left because I thought both sides were dangerous, insane, and irrational, which just like with CTs means I support Israel and give blow jobs it Yitzhak Rabin.

Though, I have noticed a rise in anti-Semitism on the far left, especially since the rise of the Internet.

I think you mean "banksters" and "international banking cartels."

An interesting thing I've noticed about moonbats is if you point out that Hamas doesn't want peace because they'd be out of a job, they reply with "yeah but that doesn't give Israel the right to kill Palestinian civilians!"

But no mention of the Israeli civilians that get blown up by suicide bombers.

I think both sides have nutball extremists who keep a useful solution from happening.

So, like, what do we do there?

What do y'all think is the best idea?

Maybe there's nothing anybody can do because neither side will do what is necessary to do what anybody wants to do in the first place.

You should have given us images a long time ago.
