I found some videos on this, thanks for the recommendation.
And, for that last point, I am exposed to a variety of people on a regular basis who do, in fact, believe this in entirety. It is a very serious matter to them, something these people have been into for many decades, if not their entire lives.
Sorry to inform you that so many are out there.
It's a real dissapointment living in a time where it's bad to criticize the Ukrainian "national hero symbols" (AKA Nazi collaboration symbols). I actually read first hand accounts from World War II Jewish populations, even ones written by anti-"Stalinist" authors that lived in regions where there were alleged local Soviet politicians with antisemitic leanings. You know what they had to say? The nationalists were known to hide from the Soviets, but they treated their encounters with the Germans like a game. All that energy to kill young Communists and round up Jews, but every time they "hid" from the Germans they always ended up fighting together against the Soviets.
You know who else unified their nation and to this day has to be credited for a national identity and unity? Benito Mussolini among Italians. I never thought I'd have to explain how that incompetent yet genocidal maniac is a bad image, but we have this Meloni gal as Prime Minister right now.
Why should I be ashamed to say Communists put these criminals to death and should be glorified for it? But no, supporting NATO with Mussolini-loving Meloni, never-denazified-Germany, and their unofficial recruits in Ukraine is more important to our beloved "Western Values" (Hiterlite-coded lingo for pan-European neo-fascist values in my opinion) than defending the legacy of the people who saved Europe from barbarism.
Imagine someone speaking a Semitic language in public, likely in the United States. Regardless of the language, think about what they look like. They are likely black, from Africa, or they "look" Arab (in American terms, they look like a terrorist). If this person was discriminated against after speaking that language, do you think it's because of antisemitism? I doubt it.
The antisemitic attacks seen are those against people working in finance/banking, orthodox Jews, synogogues, and "secret society" meetings like the freemason lodges. Conspiracy theory brained at best, explictly vile antisemitism otherwise. We know these stereotypes and they have nothing to do with the Semitic language family.
I don't believe the attacks on an orthodox Jew is the same as an attack on someone speaking Arabic. The first is antisemitism plain and simple, the latter Islamophobia.
The reason I mentioned blackness is because of the US' historical targeting of black (black as in African-American here) muslim populations in the country as well as dark-skin and black Muslims from Somalia, Sudan, etc
Even though these attacks are primarily Islamophobic and/or anti-black, it is still true that some Jewish people get caught in the middle of it. But those Jewish people are not targeted due to antisemitism in these particular cases.
I'm not saying we shouldn't understand this history, but this is not a good look for supporting Palestine. There are better ways to present the points and this will never be one of them. Palestinians are under attack because of an extremist ideology (Zionism and Christian evangelicals), colorism, colonialism, Islamophobia - not antisemitism.
I don't think I can cosign a message like this. When talking about semetic, people aren't talking about the language families. They are talking about instead a concept of Jewish people belonging to a Semitic race, race in reference to a racial "science" category. Antisemitism is explicitly anti-Jewish and Islamophobia is inciting hatred against Muslims. I don't think Jewish people are laying claim to the entire Semetic language family and excluding ones like Arabic, nor do I see any new definition of antisemitism now referring to non-Jews.
This just leads to an ineffective argument that crumbles under pressure. I wouldn't bother using this concept unless some day all people speaking Semitic languages are lumped together and oppressed by that category. and besides, anti-black and Islamophobic sentiment already does enough lifting to attack both Jews and non-Jews who speak Semitic languages on top of the already-existing antisemitism that was prominent 19th and 20th century.
There is no value with Russian foreign policy right now, no mass movement to use the potential for heightened class contradiction. Besides, modern day Russia is just the hotbed for disguntled nationalists who only exist with even a modicum of power because of US strategic interests. The ideology guiding the ruling class of Russia is bland, incompatible with the concept of class struggle, and archaic. I see Russia to China as Canada is to the US. Do I really care that Canada may have better standards than the US or better foreign policy or better whatever? No, not really. I'm looking at countries that can actually do something useful for me, and the choices are between the US and China, not between Canada and Russia.

I think this would unironically turn those kids into Pol Potists, Maoists, and Gonzaloites once they learn about the Khmer Rouge
Whether or not Trump is actually into full-on fascism is dependent on whether we enter a recession, and how deep the recession hits. I'm going to be so pissed if the only "opposition" on TV ends up being scripted debates with people like Alex Jones, Nick Fuentes, Donald Trump, and reactionaries talking about how they ditched the Libertarian Party.....
I guess I was too brash adding in that antisemitic comment, maybe too much of a generalization. But I did see Jewish people discussing the mythologization of Jews as inherently harmful and a lot of the political realm behind these ideas is influenced by people espousing, knowingly or not, antisemitic conspiracy theories (New World Order, Great Reset, a globalist cabal, global banking, et cetera).
