...and my country, the US, is as guilty as Israel for providing unlimited backing for the Palestinian Genocide by providing money, political backing and the vast majority of weapons (with active training on how to use them).

This is a direct necessary end product of western/european colonialism working to sustain its violence and control, which does not absolve the majority of Israelis from embracing the Palestinian Genocide but it does provide context for why Israel and why jews in Israel would undertake the single most heinous crime against humanity yet of the 21st century.

Do not be fooled into a negative exceptionalism about jews or Israelis, this is a decades long project that could have worked in your country too if the circumstances were right and there was a hopelessly more powerful foreign power with an invested interest in bigotry and dehumanization of people in the place your family has always called home.

The rightwing of the west will lovingly embrace antisemitism with renewed vigor when the Palestinian Genocide finally becomes undeniable in the halls of power as a way to dodge their direct enthusiastic culpability in the genocide, we must be ready.
