I don't get the analogy. The Illuminati (the real organization, that is) 
have been defunct for many years. Zionism, support for the state of 
Israel, is a position many people hold. Banning Zionists in the 
post-October 7 environment is pretty close to banning Jews. I don't find 
neo-Nazis humorous.
