A week ago Donald Trump threatened American Jews to "get their act together" "before it is too late" on his social media website.

The right-wing media has turned up the volume on antisemitism considerably.

A non-exhaustive thread of examples: 🧵

Kanye West Blames ‘Jewish Zionists’ for Paparazzi, Pulled Shows … and Kardashian Sex Rumors

Neo-Nazi Holocaust denier embraced by Marjorie Taylor Greene: "You serve Satan ... I piss on your Talmud"

Chris Cuomo is trying to build his comeback on the back of West's antisemitism, who told him "When I wore that White Lives Matter t-shirt, the Jewish underground media mafia already started attacking me" dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Ben Shapiro defended Donald Trump, threatening American Jews, says it “happens to be somewhat accurate, actually” mediamatters.org/ben-shapiro/be…

Lara Logan invoked blood libel of the "global cabal", saying they aim to “dilute the pool of patriots” in the United States with “100 million illegal immigrants.” thedailybeast.com/lara-logan-goe…

Texas AG Ken Paxton:

Just prior to Trump's post on Truth Social, Steve Bannon compared "MAGA" to the victims of the Holocaust mediamatters.org/steve-bannon/s…

The conservative pro-Israel establishment does nothing to protect us from this.

They could not exist without the support of far-right Christian supremacists. They openly scapegoat the vast majority of all American Jews who are liberal and leftists to maintain proximity to power

How’d I leave this absolutely infuriating example out: Doug Mastriano advisor Jenna Ellis attacking Josh Shapiro openly for being Jewish
