In April 1933, von Mildenstein and Tuchler, along with their wives, embarked on a trip to Palestine. Tuchler aimed to demonstrate the development of a “national home” for Jews, seeking to convince von Mildenstein that Jewish emigration could be a solution to the Nazi’s “Jewish question”. This visit was part of a broader strategy by the Zionist Federation of Germany (ZVfD) to facilitate Jewish emigration through negotiations with the Nazi regime, which was exploring various options for removing Jews from Germany.

    I’ve heard so many times from the zionists that being anti zionist was anti semetic so I had to read this like 4 times before my brain would let me comprehend it correctly.

      also from the wiki link:

      Von Mildenstein’s articles explored several questions about the future of Palestine and the viability of Zionism in what he described as the “turbulent Orient”.

      Contrary to the derogatory stereotypes prevalent in Nazi propaganda, von Mildenstein depicted the Jewish settlers in Palestine as optimistic and industrious, a direct contradiction to the Nazi portrayal of Jews.

      from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionist_antisemitism:

      Jewish scholar Ze’ev Jabotinsky, who developed Revisionist Zionism in the 20th century, wrote:

      Our starting point is to take the typical Yid of today and to imagine his diametrical opposite … because the Yid is ugly, sickly, and lacks decorum, we shall endow the ideal image of the Hebrew with masculine beauty. The Yid is trodden upon and easily frightened and, therefore, the Hebrew ought to be proud and independent. The Yid is despised by all and, therefore, the Hebrew ought to charm all. The Yid has accepted submission and, therefore, the Hebrew ought to learn how to command. The Yid wants to conceal his identity from strangers and, therefore, the Hebrew should look the world straight in the eye and declare: “I am a Hebrew!”

        From a previous comment of mine:

        Zionism goes against the actual teachings of Judaism, it’s very revisionist. Jewish opposition to Israel is as old as Zionism itself. Hasidic Jewish people, while small in number, are still the largest Anti-zionist group in Israel. Jewish people have been at the forefront of Anti-zionist activism for a long time, including Jewish Voice for Peace. Palestinians too of course.

        Zionism uses Judaism as a shield, deflecting criticism against it’s fascist actions as anti-semitic, which in-turn raises the amount of genuine anti-semitism experienced by Jewish people worldwide, due to that false conflation of Judaism and Zionism. That’s why it’s critical to detangle that false conflation.

        Zionism comes from the same roots of other-izing Jewish people as seen in white supremacy, that’s exactly why it’s been supported by white supremacist since the beginning to present day. For white supremacists, Jewish people are inherently different and need to go back to ‘where they came from’ in the middle east. Christian Zionists, who far outnumber Jewish Zionists, want to trigger the end-times which will kill every ‘nonbeliever’ with the holy war.

        Adi Callai, in his video Anti-Semitism, Weaponized, does a phenomenal analysis the history of antisemitism and how Zionism fits into that picture. He has another on the Gaza Ghetto Uprising and on Franz Fanon which are also just as relevant to the current situation in Palestine as well.
