Thank for your level-headed review, which highlights that Jews and Zionists are not the same thing necessarily. So many people, including Israeli zionists and msm think they are.

Excellent account of a shattering experience.

Psychological projection is the mental process in which an individual attributes their own internal thoughts, beliefs, emotions, experiences, and personality traits to another person or group. Might a Zionist Genocide supporter describing an anti-Zionist as a 'Kapo' be: 1) aware that the term is a derogatory word for someone like themselves, who aids and abets a genocide? 2) emotionally unable to acknowledge their crime and immorality, so project it onto others? 3) be in the process of a failed attempt to communicate from their senses and reason, to their ego about their increasing awareness of their harmful behavior? 4) able to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to acknowledge what Zionist Genocide really is, and what their support for it really does?

Netanyahu and his supporters are causing antisemitism by their extreme behaviour.

The more they attack Palestinians, the more people hate Israel.

They are repeating the behaviour of the Nazis towards Jews. It is like a victim who becomes the oppressor.

In the process, they are destroying Israel's reputation all around the globe, as horrified people turn their backs on Israel. It is a self-defeating strategy.

Netanyahu and his far right government which includes extremists like Ben Gvir (a follower of an even more extremist US Rabbi, Meir Kahane, advocating violence) hold the Jewish diaspora in contempt...unless he can use them to mobilise his ill-conceived annihilatory agenda.
