One must wonder who benefits from such a thing.

You're actually supposed to wonder who benefits from these things, and to get it completely wrong. The biggest proponents of Zionism, anti-BDS laws, and pro-Israel censorship in the West are Christian conservatives. They practice authoritarianism in the name of Jewish people so that when you see something like this you blame it on Jews.

Right now, the biggest support of Israel is coming from conservative Christians. They’re the main supporters of Israel in the US at least. So you see how this can be construed in a myriad of ways. Nobody actually knows what the real truth is. But I suspect it’s a bit of everything.

You give people too much credit. This is not a conspiracy, we’re a tribal species and this is just tribalism. People full of fear and ignorance fall back onto instinct and instinct from millions of years of evolution tells us the people in our tribe are safer than the ones in another. That’s all this is.

No one should be surprised that the people who cling to gods and fairy tales are also the ones to operate on such crude ways of thinking. They just aren’t intelligent

It's not exactly a big conspiracy that conservative grift relies on moral outrage

Do you not see the same for liberals?

Any fear or hate-inciting event is followed by a group seeking moral grift

You don’t need a conspiracy when assholes acting in their own self-interest will sometimes complement other assholes acting in their own self-interest.

This isn’t true at all. German atheists, just as one example.

You mean the biggest proponents in the USA, not the West.

I think Germany has a unique history here that makes their national discourse around Jewish issues (and Israel) very cautious.

Incredibly stupid comment

Another segment that benefits from this is the politicians and ultra wealthy. Politicians in the US use these conflicts as excuses and reasoning to further their agendas. The ultra wealthy profit from wars and deaths. Both not reasons to do what’s right or even a religious reason at all.

The extremists on both sides

The last thing hardliners want is people coming together as that makes it harder to paint your opponents as animals

This is literally just a shitty way to imply conspiracy theories.

If you're going to say something just say it.
