Comment on London venue ‘appalled’ after antisemitic imagery allegedly screened at Primal Scream gig

Entwining a Star of David with a swastika implies that Jews are Nazis and risks encouraging hatred of Jews.
The Star of David is a sacred symbol of Jewish identity; the swastika is the emblem of a genocidal regime responsible for the murder of 6 million Jews. To merge these two symbols is an act of profound malice, desecration, and cruelty. It is antisemitism in its starkest form.
Are there any other political entities that use that symbol? Perhaps a Nazi entity? I actually notice in the article that they make reference to other political entities.
As the band performed the song, pictures of political figures, including the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the US president, Donald Trump
Images of the destruction in Gaza were also shown on screen. The video concluded with the words: “Our government is complicit in genocide.”
Oh yeah, come to think of it, Israel, a Nazi state, uses the Star of David as their icon. Given the evidence, it seems more likely the band was actually referencing Israel. I wonder why the author didn’t make that connection.

Unfortunately The Guardian, though probably The British newspaper most critical of Israel, has also fallen victim of the zionist lobby’s push to conflate anti-zionism with anti-semitism.
It’s now practically impossible to say anything in the public space in this country that condemns the policies of the nation of Israel without being drowned out by millions of voices calling you a jew hater.
As can be evidenced by the Maccabi Tel Aviv supporter fiasco where the police who took steps to ban their supporters because of their violent actions have the narrative completely turned 180 by even the prime minister himself.
