It's because they both hate the idea of Arab democracy.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Fascists like other Fascists?
Fascists support other fascists...
It's why fascism anywhere is a problem for people everywhere.
They'll always try to prop up like minded people, because if there's only one fascist government everyone pays attention to them.
If there's 5-6 all doing shit, it's hard for everyone else to unify against it.
Its backliding into barbarism and tribal us vs them societies
Yeah I think that's more apropos.
Join hands? They fund them all
How the turntables...
It's more like an elephant walk than hand holding
They love it. Part of what Israel does is encourage antisemitism abroad in order to demonstrate the necessity of Zionism. Confront this wherever you see it. Especially when it is couched as anti-Israel, but uses anti-Jew language. Don't let them get away with it. Anti-Nazi, anti-zionist, ant-fascist. Hold the line.
But also, simply, Israel is run by a far right governement.
Yes, but on it's face it should still be odd that they'd support actual antisemites. Nationalists don't always get along with other nationalists.
A far right government that faces only very token opposition in any Western country because anti-muslim sentiment and perpetual imagined jewish victimization has been propogandized and weaponized into society for decades by these arsehole extremist zionists. And the non extremists largely let them get away with it when they also benefit.
After god know how many movies about the holocaust, and how many movies painting every middle eastern person as a suicide bomber religious zealot, who wants to be the one to be even accused of being an antisemite? We've all been trained that thats poison-- even when its a nonsense accusation.
Nazis of a feather flock together
Fascists stick together.
I wonder if there's some kind of doctrine devised by the early modern Israeli government that basically amounts to the only way to not let Jewish people be at the bottom of the boot again is to be the boot, and the Israelis have just been quietly working to emulate the Nazis as per that doctrine ever since?
Or its the classic victim/abuser cycle but replicated on a nation scale.
Or just arseholes being arseholes.
Why not all three?
that basically amounts to the only way to not let Jewish people be at the bottom of the boot again is to be the boot
That is the founding doctrine of Likud.
And TIL about the Begin Doctrine. I honestly thought what I was suggesting would be a nefarious backroom thing only spoken about in the Israeli chambers of power. But here we are, they broadcast it in 1081 and have been acting on it since.
Zionism itself essentially boiled down to using the tragedies faced by jews in order to borrow the boot of western nations until they had one of their own. It’s why the next most likely new homeland for jews after Israel was going to be the Nazi suggestion of Madagascar or the Italian suggestion of Ethiopia or Libya. It’s easy to oppress and make such compromises when the most strict way of teaching your religion states everyone besides you has no soul and you are going to divinely rule over them someday anyway.
Because they’ve always been fascists?
A part of me thinks the rise of extreme nationalism is fueled by climate change. We're already seeing issues with access to clean drinking water around the world. Hell, in 2025, Mexico wasn't able to honor their end of the water trade treaty with the US for the first time since the treaty was created in the 1940s, which helped the nazis in charge here justify refusing to send water to Mexico. https://www.ecoticias.com/en/usa-denies-mexico-water-1944-treaty/12590/
It's only going to get worse. Resources are drying up, and when countries face issues supplying clean water and food, they tend to gravitate towards barbarism and tribalism. In my opinion, this is just the tip of the iceberg, unfortunately.
A part of me thinks the rise of extreme nationalism is fueled by climate change.
It is, in the sense that the only way to mitigate climate change will destroy the income streams of the fossil-fuel companies and countries that rely on fossil-fuel exports. And, in order to prevent their rice bowl from being broken, they fund anti-environmentalist fake scientists and anti-scientific political parties that all lie about climate change and try to fuck with renewables in any way they can.
Another possibility is the Economic supercycle which has a period of around a century, in which we are now at or near the low-point (basically the maximum inequality point when growth - not just Economic but actually as a progression of quality of life - is at a minimum whilst non-productive rentierism is at a maximum).
It makes sense that the people with the most power - which in Capitalism are the moneyed classes - at this point would be investing heavilly in political forces which blame outsider for the pain and loss of faith in the future that most people are feeling, in order to avoid being punished by the public for their misuse of power for maximum self-enrichement which is causing the hurt on everybody else.
This shit isn't just Economic, but also Social and the elites managing the last part would explain all manner of things done in the last decade or two, from the rise of the Far-Right to increasing political corruption and authoritarianism (starting with widespread civil society surveillance, which is now increasing, as well as increasing cracking down on demonstration) in supposedly Democratic nations.
The cycle theory is not science. If there were such cycles, investors would place their bets in a way that would make money from them, which in turn would damp the cycles.
We do have a massive problem with inequality, driven by unchecked owning class macro-parasitism. Or, if you prefer, rentierism.
This shit isn’t just Economic, but also Social
Yeah, those are two faces of the same coin.
It’s fueled by the pedofile parasite class reestablishing their parasitic capitalist system
They're an ethno-Fascist state (same type as the one of the NAZIs: Fascism but anchored of ethnic-superiority instead of on "mere" nationalism, hence far more dehumanizing of the "other" which translates into far more and more extreme violence against those they call "vermin") so of course they love Fascists in general.
The main ideological difference between Zionist Israel and the last great ethno-Fascist country - NAZI Germany - is that the ethnic-group they see as "vermin" is Muslims rather than Jews and Roma, so those are who they want to push other Fascist groups to hate (which they already do up to a point thanks to decades of islamophobic racist propaganda from America, itself almost certainly influenced by Israel).
Most of Israel's actions suddently make total sense if you look at them as a modern variant of NAZIs with different ubermenschen and untermenschen.
Because they are no different to Nazis
Because they are also nazis?
Because Israel is far right? Is this a trick question?
Just like all the billionaires, fuckers unite under one regarded tent
Do they ever wonder if they might be the badguys, when they're going to a meeting about how to put ultranationalists in charge of Germany?
because they always have been?
The Israeli Likud party is far right. The Russians and Israelis are supporting right wing European parties filled with fucking neo-Nazis.
The Saudis and Gulfies too.
Why do we look at history? Why do we learn about the atrocities of the past committed for the benefit of the few? This such a bullshit headline for an article that basically cut-and-pasted news from the 1930s. I'm sick of journalism becoming one giant handjob of, "Check this out."
Fascists of a feather flock together. Times are going to get really bad 65 million people died the last time we let fascism rise on a global scale
Ahhh HA! Russia again! I knew it!
"Why the lady in a white dress and a veil and the guy in a suit leaving a church are joining hands"
insert drive past meme with Israel and Nazis
"Why Europes far right is joining with Israel."
GTFO with your bullshit
Something about birds of a feather
I don't know much about EU politics other than anti-nato parties being far right illegal parties, but in US:
Christo fascism, and replacement theory in general, is a Zionist first movement. They don't scare you that immigrant children might vote for healthcare in future, they will vote against Israel first rule over America, that Christo-fascists protect.
Being anti-NATO isn't an illegal position at all, nor is it a far-right thing.
Romania leader/party was banned for it. AfD's only difference with CDU is anti-nato, and delegitimized for it, even if they haven't yet been forced by corrupt courts off the ballot. If it weren't for CDU copying their hatred, but with NATO absolutist difference, then the courts might have been needed to prevent democracy.
I don't know much about these, but from what I understand AFD is pretty much full blown neo-nazi, and that's why they're deligitimized.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon in France has repeatedly suggested getting out of NATO for years and this was not a big deal.
