Graham Platner is proof that anti-Zionism is being used as evidence that a Nazi isn't a Nazi.
Graham Platner has a Nazi tattoo. There are, perhaps, zero people on this planet who have Nazi tattoos and are not Nazis. Now that we also have reason to believe (again) that he's a rapist, well, people are finally accepting that he may also be a Nazi.
What took so long?
Anti-Zionism.
Here's the tortured logic of the Platner boosters:
Israel is the new Nazi Germany.
Platner hates Israel.
Platner's Nazi tattoo can't mean he likes Nazis, because if he did, he'd like Israel, but he hates Israel.
Platner, therefore, is a Good Guy.
I hope these people realize the error of their ways; I know, however, they will not.
