I want to encourage more people to refer to this as what it is - the Hitlerian definition of anti-Semitism.

Modern Hitlerian anti-Semites view being Jewish and being a Zionist as one and the same. A Jewish person can be born in the US, have complete loyalty to the US, and have absolutely zero interest in or loyalty to Israel. But according to the Hitlerian definition of anti-Semitism, Jewish people have innate loyalty to Israel from birth. They are inseparable. To be Jewish is to be Israeli. A Jewish person cannot really be a full citizen of the United States, Canada, Germany, or any other nation except Israel. They will always be the suspect foreign other.

I use the word "Hitlerian" because that's exactly what this logic is. The Nazis held that Jews could never truly be full citizens of Germany. Countless Jewish WW1 veterans, people who considered themselves fully German had zero loyalty to any other nation, were sent to camps on the theory that they could never truly be German. They would always be foreigners. They would always be the other. This was also the logic of the Japanese internment camps. Every Japanese person was suspect, simply due to their ethnic heritage. They could be the most stars-and-stripes wearing gung-ho America fan imaginable, it didn't matter. Their preferences, beliefs, hopes, and dreams, none of it mattered. All that mattered was their ethnicity.

Glastonbury is using the Hitlerian definition of anti-Semitism. They follow the Hitlerian belief that all Jews are intrinsically foreigners and owe innate loyalty to the state of Israel. And we can't be afraid to call this logic Hitlerian, as that's what it truly is.
