I'm Jewish and I think about antisemitism all the time. I can't tell you how fucking weird it is that Homeland Security posting literal neo-Nazi propaganda generates less discussion about the threat to Jews than a mayoral candidate who believes Palestinians are human beings.

DHS is recruiting using a not-so-subtle reference to a 1978 book from white nationalist William Gayley Simpson, Which Way Western Man?

Simpson's book was released under an imprint associated with the National Alliance, founded by Turner Diaries author William Luther Pierce.

    You can be against Netanyahu, against Hamas, reject antisemitism and be against war crimes and atrocities against the Palestinians.

    Those issues are not mutually exclusive.

    There was barely a squeak when they posted an article on their .gov page that was two words off from the 14, and used a 14/88 "statistic" in body (among other dog whistles).

    So you call the American flag neo-nazi propaganda? If you hate this country so much, then pack your 💩and leave. No one forced you to stay here.

    You mean a mayoral candidate who openly praised Hamas, a violent terrorist organization.

    I have been called "@ntisemite" before by brainwashed strangers. I'm Ashkenazi by blood. I don't practice, but I know who I am. I do not support genocide. At all. It doesn't matter who does it. It doesn't make me antisemitic against my own people. It makes me upset at corruption in the name of G*D

    Because most news agencies aren't about spreading news anymore. They're either concerned with getting the owners agenda out there or click bait material. The people who want to spread actual news have been slowly forced out because of this, but thankfully, they are platforms for them to continue

    Seems like an ambitious reporter could arrange a sit-down with their social media person, toss them softball questions for five minutes, then pull out and show them 5-10 images that they have “adapted.” The story would write itself. Capturing their reaction on camera would be even better.

    The first couple times I wondered if it was subconscious and mostly spoke to the type and background of the people making the images. Now I have to conclude they are intentional dog whistles. There are too many, and with too many references to be happenstance.

    The identity has been hijacked. If it's not anti-Israeli then it doesnt count Especially if the offensive message is coming from unconditional Israel supporters. The "Shylock" incident highlighted this - the standard denunciation statements were issued and then everyone quietly let it go.

    I think the powerful people who might be most concerned have spent so much time battling anti-Israel sentiments from the left that they can't see the cancer of genuine, very violent antisemitism metastisizing on the right.

    This will be a great example of the mainstream media double standard in action. Every time some random campus activist says something vaguely critical of Israel, the press demands that Democratic officeholders and other prominent liberals engage in performative on-air struggle sessions...

    Our media is so broken. It’s probably been like this for a long time, but the last 1-2 years has made it crystal clear. From antisemitism to cancel culture. It’s insane. The republicans were banning books at the very moment the media focused on college kids booing a conservative speaker.

    Part of it may be that Trump is already president, but Mamdani is still running.

    Though I think it's clear that, from a Jewish perspective, Mamdani is better than the average of Cuomo and Adams, so...

    Major institutions that were founded to combat antisemitism have been captured. Their purpose now is to protect Netanyahu’s political career. If supporting certain antisemites is to Netanyahu’s political benefit then those institutions will do so.

    I had a realization after watching Lawrence of Arabia. I learned how a lot of WWI led to the way white people treat and villainize Middle Easterners. Not that that justifies any atrocities, but it does make you understand how people can hate us after we have abandoned them, multiple times.
