John AravosisI was just chatting with a friend about this, and we were both saying that we’re not even Jewish and the recent mainstreaming of antisemitism in the Republican Party, from Trump to Kanye to the GOP House to Musk’s flirtations with the far right — are absolutely chilling.
Omar Moore@aravosis 💯. In the US there has always been abundant anti-semitism. I think some people like to think it is some kind of new phenomena—but it has always been here. We must fight back, educate and stamp it out. Ken Burns’s recent 3-part documentary “The US And The Holocaust” is an important film that must be taught in every school and seen everywhere. Also: “A Night At The Garden” a 7-minute doc about 20,000 American Nazis at Mad Sq Garden in 1939. And of course many important books.
Jeremy (יעקב) 🇺🇦Two big things I wish people would internalize about #antisemitism are these:
1. #HenryFord was the inspiration for the #Holocaust. #Hitler hung a portrait of him, gave him the highest award, and cited him as the biggest influence on his thinking.
2. Henry Ford was inspired by #TheProtocols, an #antisemitic invention of the #USSR which formed the basis for #pogroms in Russia, the idea of #ZOG (#Zionist control of #media, #government, and #war).
The modern conceptions of these include the following:
1. #TheIsraelLobby - A term popularized by notorious antisemite #Mearsheimer (currently a #PutinApologist and #GenocideDenier).
2. #Jews are foreign invaders everywhere, native nowhere.
3. Jews are a reptile-like subhuman species that infiltrates mankind/Christian populations.
4. Jews weaken true populations via import of non-#BloodAndSoil populations (#Black and #Muslim).
Being aware helps keep us all safe.
Nina likes Babka@imstilljeremy @popcornreel @aravosis You left out 3. The Protocols were inspired by and drew on imagery from over a millennium of Christian antisemitism. If you ignore that, the popularity of your numbers 1. and 2. don't make sense.
EmilyShaw@imstilljeremy @popcornreel @aravosis I agree with everything you see but must add that Hitler was inspired by the 19th C American policy of moving Native Americans to reservations and England’s similar policies in Africa, particularly South Africa. These indigenous populations were decimated as a result. For example, the pre-Colombian Native American population in North America has been estimated to have been about 40-60M. There are now about 6-7M.
