    TBF, zionists resent even orthodox american Jews for having rejected the initial call on ideological grounds.

    You can see it in modern discourse where American Jews that support Palestine are dismissed out of hand by Israelis and zionists as “just being stupid Americans”

      Yeah there’s always been this stuff but it just seems to have made it’s way in to the official statements a lot more this time around, like there isn’t that awareness of how most people perceive it that’s been keeping things less weird in the past. I could see past responses to this being something like “Jews have differing opinions on the subject of Zionism but we all agree that protecting Jewish lives and securing a safe homeland for Jews is important.” Now what used to be the extreme response is the mainstreamed one.
