If you object to Jews in the United States creating Holocaust memorials in their own communities, which include survivors of the Holocaust whose families etc. those memorials are for, you are not ‘revealing’ hidden plots by Israel or criticizing Zionism you are just being a bigot to random Jews

I don't regard antisemitism as a unique or fundamental bigotry, anymore than I think that TERFism or Islamophobia is. But like TERFism, Islamophobia and other bigotries, it is a habit of thought that makes people increasingly conspiratorial, nervy and aggressive. There's no bottom to be had

Cowboys past and present are: Black, Indigenous, Latino, immigrant, queer, trans, radical, female (and the ones in rodeos rely on rodeo clowns to keep them safe). And that pro-democracy pro-Constitution patriots despise this dimwitted pile of hatreds. I've met cowboys and you, sir, are no cowboy.

My favorite part about Moore's handling of Nazis as villains in Tom Strong is that he didn't just stop at punching them (even though there was a lot of glorious punching involved). There was also a conscious effort made into dismantling and debunking the Nazi ideology.
