It comes to something that such is the state of UK politics, that there's an actual row about whether the #Eurovision programme is #antisemitic.

I mean, seriously...

Fourth Reich. Many anti zionist Jews are being told by the German state that they are #antisemitic while others on the German "left" wave Israeli flags.

#AntiZionist not #AntiSemitic. #Palestinians are a Semitic speaking peoples, too. #Zionism is an ideology, not an ethnicity

JN is usually too rightwing for me to post and I'm sure I disagree politically with this author on many things but this comes close to nailing a phenomenon I am also seeing.

"It should be perfectly possible to deplore the terrible situation in #Gaza while recognising that there are those who are seeking to capitalise on this tragedy to pump #antisemitism into the mainstream body politic.

A whole host of #farright #antisemitic social media personalities, for example, have successfully seized on the terrible situation in Gaza to significantly grow their reach."

OPINION : Responses to antisemitism are shifting - this should concern us - Jewish News

Before 7 October many denied antisemitism. Now they inherently acknowledge it but dismiss it, citing Gaza

I want to take a moment to register my disgust with the massively dangerous #antisemitic zionazi movement and it's backers murdering an entire population for real estate in #Palestine and the so called #holyland

In it's current form I no longer believe #israel has the right to exist.

The fact that this slaughter is happening at all in broad daylight with full Western complicity is a stain on us all that won't wash off for generations.

The architects and participants will be brought to justice one way or another eventually. The global shame will not wash off so easily.

At the Dept of #Defense, spox Kingsley Wilson faced criticism from #Jewish #CivilRights groups for sharing #antisemitic #ConspiracyTheories on social media, including references to the "great replacement theory" & the lynching of Leo Frank in 1915.

Historians widely believe that Frank was falsely accused of raping & murdering a 13-year-old girl, although antisemitic #extremists & #NeoNazis continue to assert his guilt.

Ingrassia, Cauley & Martin are not the only #Trump admin officials connected to #antisemitic #extremists.

Before becoming #FBI director, #KashPatel appeared 8 separate times on a podcast hosted by #FarRight #ConspiracyTheorist #StewPeters, who promotes #HolocaustDenial. Peters posted a photo of himself holding #Hitler's #MeinKampf w/the message "visionary leadership." In recent days, he attacked the founder of Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy, w/antisemitic vitriol.

In podcast interviews, Martin called Hale-Cusanelli an "amazing guy" & "great friend."
Martin later denounced Hale-Cusanelli's views, saying he was unaware of his past #antisemitic rhetoric.
"I condemn his comments & views in the strongest terms possible," Martin said in written testimony to the Senate. "I am not close with him."

Martin's history of interactions w/Hale-Cusanelli, including at several events & in podcast interviews, have raised questions about the truthfulness of that testimony.

The "Tim" whom Ingrassia referenced is Timothy Hale-Cusanelli, who was convicted of multiple nonviolent offenses for storming the Capitol on #Jan6 & was later pardoned by #Trump.

Federal prosecutors described Hale-Cusanelli as a "#Nazi sympathizer" who once went to work at a naval weapons station with a "#Hitler mustache." He also recorded a lengthy #antisemitic video rant in which he compared Orthodox #Jews to a "plague of locusts."

The top of Ingrassia's IG has a pinned photo of himself w/ #AndrewTate, who identifies as a "#misogynist."
"The Tate brothers provide an opportunity for a better future—one that inspires, rather than degrades, men," reads Ingrassia's caption.
Tate "has leaned heavily into unabashedly #antisemitic rhetoric, perpetuating #Holocaust #revisionism, spreading #ConspiracyTheories about #Israel, praising #Hamas, performing #Nazi salutes & encouraging people to embrace & openly engage in #racism,” - ADL.
