@Transcendentia Saw that your topic got closed, and I'm bored so I figured I'd answer your questions.
(for those dropping in: https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/400-current-events/75596757?page=5) How come you were dishonest with your quote, by the way? When you posted their platform. You quoted just a little sentence without sharing the entire block. If anything, the anti-Israel position they have is more leftist than it is right. I don't think I was being dishonest with what I cited, which was this: https://www.tradworker.org/platform/ The organized Jewish community’s record of deceit, duplicity, and double-standards in lobbying against American interests within the American political system is unmatched. Not all opposition to Israel is anti-semitic; I singled out this sentence because it clearly is, in my view. The idea that Jews are outsiders within their countries, working to undermine them, is a longstanding anti-Semitic trope. It goes back to before Nazi Germany, I'm sure, but it would not have been out of place there. In a discussion about whether these folks are Nazis, this was, I felt, the most compelling evidence. Opposition to Israel is very common on the left generally owing to solidarity with the Palestinean people. There are, yes, anti-Semites on the left, but to the extent that the Left is a coherent entity, it is anti-Zionist because it views Israel as a state of settlers, who have occupied Palestinean land and forced them to live as second-class citizens under a state that regularly violates their human rights. The TWP's platform makes no mention of Palestine; its opposition to Israel is rooted in American nationalism, not leftism. I also considered citing this bit: The State of Israel has a large and powerful Jewish population in America, many of whom are more loyal to Israel than they are to America. Again, the idea of Jews as unloyal traitors is here, and I cannot agree with that, even if, for other reasons, I would tend to support US policies that are less favorable to Israel. The entire block is certainly not a conservative position by any means. That's because they aren't conservatives! They're nationalists. Alt-righters. There are areas of overlap between the ideologies, but they have different names in part because they are different things. This is one area of disagreement. (It's not even something nationalists all agree on! Some are quite happy with the idea of Jews having a state to call their own, much as they want whites to, or they support Israel as a common ally against Muslims and the Arab world, though they have issues with Jews too.) Conservatives in the US, for the most part (and many Liberals), are staunch supporters of Israel. --- kin to all that throbs ... Copied to Clipboard!

Idk, when people like Trump get elected, and then the opposing half of the political spectrum basically bows down to him even though he's doing a bunch of ridiculously stupid shit, and is trying his hardest to leave 20 million people without healthcare, it's hard to look at them and go "Yeah these guys aren't really evil at all" --- ...

see? @Antifar Where is he wrong, though? Republicans have spent the past six months going along with a guy who can't speak sentences, and their agenda would push millions off of health insurance. I disagree with him in the idea that that is Trump's agenda; it's just republican orthodoxy. --- kin to all that throbs ... Copied to Clipboard!

To my understanding, at least in the United States, conservatism itself doesn't hold Zionism as a part of its ideological framework. Rather, it stems from conservatism's correlation with the Christian religion, among which Zionism may play a role.
