His support for far right parties in Germany and in the United States. I'm sure it's just a coincidence, though.


Yes, he's pretty clear about his ideologies, none of which include hating Jews. In fact, he's a outspoken proponent of Israel. I really don't understand how people's brains make that into a Nazi.


> outspoken proponent of Israel.

Oh okay, so if you dogwhistle to Nazis by seig heiling at an event (twice!) and replying "interesting" to neo Nazi posts on Twitter then all of that is wiped away by supporting Israel? You seem unable to read between the lines.


I’m very capable of that last statement actually. It’s also called “being a conspiracy theorist” if you do so with people/entities that others agree with.

You could also turn it around - so if you support Israel and be outspoken in support of Jews but reply “interesting” to a few posts completely wipes out support?

This comes down to opinion (and, be honest, wanting something to be true). Have the opinion you want. Just know that if the media stands behind you and agrees with you, it’s in no way confirmation of your opinion. It’s just the opinion most well-suited for the media’s investors.

It’s hard at first, but to realize that the opinion you hear most is NOT always the opinion most people have is golden. Suddenly it makes sense why stuff happens in the world.


Considering that a lot of extreme-right party and neo-nazi groups have supported Israel for their genocide of the Palestinian people, this is not the defense you think it is.


Damned if you do, damned if you don't, huh? :)

I have no idea what you’re trying to say here.
