Kari Lake endorsed an antisemitic Oklahoma Republican who says 'the Jews' are evil

Less than a month ago, Kari Lake rejected an endorsement from a prominent antisemitic man, saying that she “absolutely denounces bigotry in all its forms, especially anti-semitism.”

Six GOP House Members Who Need to Resign for Anti-Semitism Before Ilhan Omar

Donald Trump wants Ilhan Omar to resign from Congress for purported anti-Semitism. What these six Republicans have said was way worse.

This silly gossip doesn't change the fact that you have FOUR Holocaust deniers representing you in Congress, and that virtually all the prominent anti-Semites in the media, like Linda Sarsour, are DemoKKKrats who have the full support of the party.

This is what you vote for. You want this.

The DemoKKKrat party has emboldened anti-Semites across the country and across the world. There are consequences to electing Holocaust deniers like Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayana Pressley.

Remember this when you vote, everyone. Don't let the Nazis take over.

[ Keep trying]

Why did Republicans vote against combatting Neo-Nazis in our military and law enforcement?​

---------------

Republicans apparently have no problem with Nazis in our military

There once was a time when being anti-Nazi was being a good American. How has that changed? And why?

I have given you a chance to stop. You want to politicize this thread into an election issue, do it on your own threads.

Last year, recorded antisemitic incidents were at a record high. We can’t deny that we are losing a battle against Antisemitism in the UK; and some would say globally.

Antisemitism is now so mainstream that famous artists can openly brag of their ability to be antisemitic without fear of financial loss. This then begs the question, why are we losing? Every year, our community pools our time, energy, and resources in attempts to counter it. We pressure social media platforms to update their community service agreements, we press police forces to do their jobs in protecting our community and we write to the BBC begging they deal with their bias. It isn’t working.

We are countering Antisemitism and that is where the problem lies. Countering is reactive not proactive. We act once an incident occurs but what do we do to prevent the ideologies that motivate said actions? Of course, it is easy to say that everybody is entitled to their own views, nobody has to like us, they just need to not harm us. However, that is assuming that people come to feel negatively towards Jews all on their lonesome, which isn’t the case. Antisemitism is spoon-fed to the masses from their youth in such small quantities that making a fuss about any individual supplement is considered making a fuss about nothing. We would become the whingy Jew if we were to comment; this is the objective of the microaggression. I am referring to the Media, more specifically, to pop culture fiction.


Hypodermic syringe theory may have become a less popular model in recent years, for the fact it relies on the less-than-complimentary idea that the masses are passive sponges, but it seems to be uniquely useful for explaining the transmission of antisemitism. However, unlike in Goebbels’s era, the Antisemitism has become a subplot in a bigger story. A more swallowable tablet.


Netflix’s top ten show ‘Never have I ever’, a teenage romantic comedy which features an Ashkenazi Jewish side character, reached 55 million hours of viewership after just two days of the release of season two. The show features a diverse range of actors and seems to be progressive in that it shares a Hindu girl’s romantic struggles; refreshing. The show’s only Jewish character just happens to be a spoilt rich kid subjected to holocaust insults. His standout characteristic is his wealth. Similarly, the DC comics company, responsible for some of our favourite heroes, produced the television show ‘Harley Quinn’ the animated series. The popular show is estimated to have 21.3 times the average demand of TV series in America. Undoubtably popular, and undoubtably problematic. The show features a wide range of Jewish character such as the penguin (an Evil Jewish banker, featured prominently in a scene at a Bar Mitzvah), Cy Borgman (A morally questionable Jewish Landlord who is implied to have committed war crimes) and Harley Quinn’s parents (who sell her out for money.) If that wasn’t enough, the creators of the series described Cy Borgman as “half-man half-Jew.”


The list could go on, almost endlessly. These shows are very different from satirical programmes, like South Park, in the way that they do not make fun of every group; Jews are given special treatment. The shows are often seen as progressive and so the viewer’s guard is down. The viewership of these shows is also key, many shows are intended for teenagers and young adults, the perfect age groups for brainwashing. Unlike social media, television can only be consumed. There is no in-built room for discourse where people can respond in the moment. There is no room for some enlightened person to make a tweet thread explaining why something is antisemitic.


So, we have established that countering Antisemitism isn’t enough and that ideology is, for the most part, ignored until it turns to action. What is left but production. Producing pop culture that offers an alternative, and truer, narrative about the Jewish people could potentially do more to decrease antisemitism. Look at The Marvellous Mrs Maisel, as an example, with an audience demand of 10.2 times the American average TV series in America. Mrs Maisel, other than being a delightfully funny and empowered fictional Jewess, features historical Jewish comedian and activist Lenny Bruce. By producing more shows which tell our stories and contributions to the world, we can make the masses less accepting of antisemitism. We also enable ourselves to have a strong Jewish identity that isn’t all encompassed by victimhood. Jewish people have contributed so much to society and being remembered only as victims is disempowering historical erasure. Many terrible things have happened, but we are more than all of that.

On Saturday October 8, the artist Ye, formerly Kanye West, declared to his 18 million Instagram followers that he was “going death con 3 on Jewish people,” adding that Jews “have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”

In the days that followed, I wrote a piece for the 10/14 edition of “The Jerusalem Post” expressing my own experiences with growing antisemitism in the U.S. and abroad. “This isn’t a matter of my Jewish faith,” I wrote. “It’s a fundamental breakdown of our shared humanity.” And though my statement was supported by many friends and colleagues throughout the industry, I also encountered several disconcerting instances of trepidation. The outright silence of others spoke volumes.

Ken Burns’ recent documentary “The U.S. and the Holocaust” bluntly illustrates how the U.S. was initially unwilling to intervene in the Holocaust, even as evidence of its horrors publicly unfolded. Most of all, it reminds us that complacency is akin to complicity.

We’re now seeing our nation get more virulent and divisive by the day. We hear hate speech shared by public figures on global platforms. History can — and often does — repeat. But next time, will we allow inaction to prevail? As a descendant of refugees, many of whom died in the Holocaust, I will not tolerate antisemitism, racism, ignorance or hate from individuals or institutions, celebrities or politicians, friends, colleagues, or strangers. Neither should you.

On Saturday October 15, Ye appeared on Revolt TV’s “Drink Champs” to defiantly double-down. Not only did he endorse falsehoods about Jewish control of the media, but he went on to dismiss the indisputable — and adjudicated — facts of George Floyd’s murder.

I don’t buy the argument that Ye’s mental illness allows for public displays of malignant stupidity, and I don’t believe the platforms he’s been given should be exempt from responsibility either. My anger has only intensified in the days since, as have my questions: why have Ye’s music business partners — record labels, publishers, touring agencies, merch companies, etc. — remained silent? Is his brand so valuable that it overshadows his messaging? Is his fame so important that it’s worth the eventual price we may all pay? I will not stay silent, allow Ye’s message to dissipate over time, or wait until he says something even more destructive in the future. Neither should you.

And yet the problem is not simply Ye. He may be the most current public figure spewing antisemitism and racism, but is certainly not alone; from Sunday morning preachers and white nationalists to college campuses, city councils, and even members of Congress, ignorance and hate are gaining traction daily. If recent statements by Tommy Tuberville, Nury Martinez or Donald Trump haven’t shocked you, then what will it take? If you’re not getting angry or frightened, you’re not paying attention.

The creative community has a greater responsibility than most. Our voice — particularly among young people — is pervasive. Our influence is global. Which is why our time to act is now. We must speak up, no matter what the cost. And we must encourage our friends, families, colleagues and leaders to do the same.

Let me be perfectly clear, this is not about “cancel culture,” “wokeness” or any other buzzword used to denigrate empathy and undermine compassion. This is about stopping racism, bigotry, misogyny, homophobia and antisemitism in its tracks before it repeats itself to a degree we pray it never reaches again. We cannot idly stand by in fear, silence, or indifference. We must not allow the horrors of the past to infect our future.

The choices we collectively make over the next few months will matter for years to come. Through it all, I will march with you; I will scream with you; I will stand with you. And for the sake of our industry, our integrity, and our very survival as intelligent and rational beings, I am humbly asking you to do the same.

How does one stop Antisemitism? Which is another word for Jew hatred .
First it was Judeophobia, and then a German Jew-hater changed the expression to Antisemitism in the 19th century. Nothing changes, It is all the same.

Many groups like to say that Jews are against Israel or against Judaism.

This one seems to be one of them. And there probably are many others, which I will post in the future.

Jew hatred may morph, but the intent is always the same.

Let us try to stop it.

Guilty of Nazi-like crimes. That’s the verdict of a United Nations “commission of inquiry” on Israel that was created by the U.N. Human Rights Council to commit the Nazi-like crime of demonizing and destroying the Jewish state. Archetypal moral inversion.

The “inquiry” was created in May 2021 and released its first report to the General Assembly on October 20, 2022. Not one Western democracy voted to create the “inquiry,” but the U.N.’s top human rights body has rather unusual characteristics. Only 30 percent of Human Rights Council members are free democracies; Islamic states hold the balance of power through a system of regional groups, and its members include such human rights luminaries as China, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Venezuela.

The “inquiry” is in keeping with its architects. All three members of the “inquiry” were selected because they had already declared Israel guilty of the crimes they were charged with investigating. The mandate of the “inquiry” oozes double standards in its massive breadth, scope and resources.

The “inquiry” issued a first report to the Human Rights Council in June and it didn’t take long for its members to distinguish themselves by pushing anti-Semitic tropes. Member Chris Sidoti from Australia dismissed the voices of Jewish victims of discrimination with the retort that “accusations of anti-Semitism are thrown around like rice at a wedding.” In July, member Miloon Kothari from India claimed that “the Jewish lobby” and its money controlled social media and the inquiry’s bad press. He also suggested kicking Israel out of the U.N.

The chair of the “inquiry,” former U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay, is herself a pusher of “the extremist Israel lobby” canard, the “apartheid Israel” slander, and BDS (Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions). So in August, Pillay unleashed an unapologetic, self-serving defense of her colleagues’ appalling behavior. U.N. authorities did nothing to remove them from office. Obviously, they all had violated the basic U.N. rules requiring impartiality, objectivity and personal integrity—but that’s why they were chosen in the first place.
