      Well, to be fair, Israel isn’t really all that controlled by Jews… Zionism is just a fascist assortment of interests more than it has anything to do with the Jewish people or Judaism. Though they certainly like to try and make people think that…

        Israel explicitly controls access to citizenship with the publicly stated goal of keeping the control of the country based on ethnicity.

          Yes, it’s an ethnostate. And though it may surprise some, they rarely have much to do with the ethnicity in question. Plenty is Israelis hate (non-Zionist) Jews (because they’re not “the right kind” of Jew; they’re “the weak Jew”)

      There’s a meaningful difference between “controlled by people who are Jewish” and “controlled by Jews”

      Zionists really love to blur the line between these

          In a strict semantic sense, sure.

          Think of the phrase “America is controlled by white people”

          Does that put an image in your head of “the people who control America happen to be white” or “white people, in aggregate run America for the collective benefit of white people”?

          People will use the phrase in both ways, but these are very different ideas.

          Yeah I would probably say what OP meant was a distance between having a theory something is controlled by Jews vs controlled by The Jews.

          But honestly fell like even pointing out the first one of borderline anti Semitic, like when is that relevant except for anti Semitism?
