Is this anti-semitism?

this is pretty o_0, from old Vanity Fair article from the 1990

I would never read them just channel them

"I am his friend, but I'm not Jewish." !!!

well he does work at Paramount, which is staffed entirely by Jews, dontchaknow. Honest mistake!

i wonder if right-wing jews who keep defending trump would also vote for david duke if he were the R nominee.

Certainly the neocons would all be voting HRC I'd have to think

i think so - but the neocons were dems originally anyway so the movement historically isn't dogmatically partisan

i'm thinking more about the jewish republicans posting on every forward / tablet / haaretz / jpost article about trump + antisemitism defending him

ugh is that really a thing

does this mean I finally have an opportunity to throw the "self-hating Jew" accusation back at right-wing Jews

the big deflection today is that hillary is apparently best friends w/ max blumenthal so obviously trump is the better choice for jews (nevermind that her campaign denounced his wiesel comments yesterday)

Man, that Jacob Schulder quote is hall of fame.

yeah p blazing

the thing this, i absolutely believe that trump kept a copy of hitler’s speeches but didn’t read them. do you think he reads anything longer than a page or two?

Just skips to the good bits.

imo he believes in the power of totems -- gold-plated everything means you're rich, marrying models means you're attractive, lots of yelling while standing near Hitler books means you're consolidating power like a fascist dictator

taking lots of diet pills for energy means you are young and vigorous

best thing about that story is the guy named Marty who works in Hollywood turning out not to be Jewish.

he really doesn't wanna let this go, huh

by my theory, he will have an event in a bank or in hollywood to show he is a friend of the jewish people

gold-plated everything means you're rich

tbf

Or, like the cubic zirconium cuff links he hands out, the color of gold alone denotes wealth.

don't think he understands the diff between "gaudy" and "rich"

"you know how much of a fan of the jewish people i am...

... i'm circumcised! you can't BEAT THAT for jewish."

Polish soccer fans torch 'Jewish' effigies, fly banner calling for burning of Jews

this is nuts. & this article says that this happens in the UK also, with Tottenham Hotspur ? "just a bit of fun"? awful.

This is Polish 4th division football, iirc, so not massively high-profile but there's a similar issue with Cracovia and Wisla Krakow - first division clubs. Wisla fans spray swastikas on the walls of Cracovia areas or the other way round.

Tottenham (and Ajax Amsterdam) are both clubs with traditional Jewish support but there's no burning of effigies. Chelsea fans have famously always hissed at Spurs supporters (to replicate the sound of gas chambers) but this has been stamped out to some degree (Chelsea now have a nominally Jewish owner).

wow, I had no idea about any of this. well, I saw the story about the racist Chelsea fans on the Paris metro last year, but I figured that was just "common folks" racism, not that it was intertwined with fandom of that team.

Chelsea have always had a lot of plain, regular racists following them as well - most clubs do tbf but they, along with West Ham and Millwall, tend to be the most high-profile offenders from the London clubs.

The line between 'genuine' antisemitism and grotesque pantomime antisemitism from supporters trying to get a rise out of Spurs / Ajax fans is difficult to gauge though. Antisemitic songs become part of the lore of some clubs in a way that's at least partially divorced from the idea of actual Jewish fans in the opposing stands.

apparently beetbort has a writer whose beat is to defend the polish right against charges of antisemitism (while attacking other jewish writers)

he's jewish, too. idk what to make of it

gotta love when "you're the real racist" drops

Yes, he's an oddball. His dad was quite a famous Polish author.

He's an American 'libertarian' weirdly committed to defending the most socially invasive, authoritarian Polish government in a generation.

Idk how you go from being a self-declared libertarian to a paid defender of a government looking to criminalise child rape victims getting abortions and firmly opposed to free trade but anti-communism creates strange bedfellows.

NYT reporter Lydia Polgreen comments, on a TPM thread about Trumpism cementing Jewish ties to the Democratic party

"This is an important thread. At the same time I know some Zionist American Jews who are v much supporting Trump."

This really got my back up for some reason. The sense that there are "the good ones" and as opposed to them "the Zionists" whose loyalties are always suspect.

100%

if anything trump is not particularly strong on israel so orthodox jewish support for him is likely more related to partisan affiliation and social conservatism than pure zionism which would probably lead them more to clinton.

Check the screenshot. Star of David as creepy horror talisman or something? Was going to report this to google play store, but wanted to gauge the reaction here.

Eh idk

The devils came in, occupied the village and drove all the villagers out of the country. It's time that all of the survived villagers take weapons to fight with the devils.

Please help to Kill all of the devils and get their home back.

that + the graphics = half an eyebrow raise at least

I got some anti-semitic hate messages on Facebook! I've never had that before because, well, I'm not Jewish. I didn't even notice at the time - they were from February and I was homeless at the time. Just stuff calling me a 'zionazi' and telling me to 'fuck off, jew' and so on. The account is gone now. I can only guess it's from posting on Labour Party pages, insisting that there IS a problem with anti-semitism on the Left (though of a different order and type from the anti-semitism on the Right).

Does anyone ever drill down into those commenters to see how many of them are trolling, right-wing FUD merchants?

I would have done, but he deleted his account. He had an Italian name, for whatever that means.

you know i don't want to read too much into stuff like that since my sample size is, like, three, but _all_ the crazy openly anti-semitic people i've run across on the net have been italians. i think it's a local variety of crazy they have there.

It might just be one very dedicated Italian anti-Semite.

it is

it'll certainly sound that way to his nazi supporters but i'm not sure that every insinuation of a sinister controlling elite cabal is necessarily an antisemitic one. is every nut who believes in the illuminati, or free masons, or the bilderberg conspiracy, always really talking about jews? nb that i think it's an irresponsible rhetorical tact and could very well inflame the passions of antisemites. i'm just not sure the text itself rises to that level.

mordy this is a phenomenon i think about a lot and have probably written several strained posts and then deleted them -- basically, are we seeing some kind of 'antisemitism w/o jews' and how did that happen?

the alex jones/zerohedge paranoid crowd have successfully pushed the boogeyman 'globalist' to the forefront as the chief enemy of the people. it's really hard to tell who's cynical and who's truly duped.
