BREAKING: The Trump campaign is running Facebook ads portraying Bernie Sanders as the puppet master behind Joe Biden.

There’s a long, dangerous history of Jews being scapegoated as all-powerful puppet masters.

Trump is using this antisemitic lie to spread fear & division. A photo of a “Team Trump” Facebook ad depicting Bernie SImage description: a black-and-white cartoon depicting a steImage description: A screenshot of a segment from Glenn Beck
The "puppet master” characterization has been used to present Jews as shadowy manipulators, secretly orchestrating events on the political or financial main stage.

It is an age-old antisemitic trope — one that has been used in Nazi propaganda & continues to be used to this day. On the left, a cartoon from Nazi-occupied Serbia in 1941, de
Conspiracy theories about Jewish “puppet masters” motivated white nationalist shooters in Pittsburgh, Poway, El Paso, & Christchurch.

This deadly impact hasn’t stopped Trump & his GOP enablers from repeating them in order to divide us & hold on to power.

The @GOP used the same puppet master trope on their official website in July.

They accused Bernie Sanders, the most prominent Jewish American politician, of being Joe Biden’s puppet master — a classic antisemitic conspiracy theory.

It’s not an accident. It’s their platform.
The Trump campaign also sent a fundraising letter in July singling out Jewish donors & accusing Democrats of trying to “undermine” the “America First agenda.”

They claimed George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, & Tom Steyer are trying to "rig" the election.

In October 2018, @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy tweeted a similar accusation: that three Jewish billionaires were trying to “buy” the midterm elections.

He posted this a day after a pipe bomb was found in Soros’ mail — just days before the Tree of Life shooting in Pittsburgh.
.@DonaldJTrumpJr used the same antisemitic “puppet master” trope during the impeachment hearings last fall.

He invoked the Soros conspiracy theory to discredit Rep. Adam Schiff — a prominent Jewish politician — and distract from the impeachment process.

The Trump campaign is doubling down on the antisemitic "puppet master" trope.

They're using it to generate fear and appeal to the worst elements of the GOP base.

They're desperate.

We won't let them get away with it.

No, Rep. Rashida Tlaib did not say Michigan AG @dananessel charged pro-Palestinian protesters because the AG is Jewish. 🧵

metrotimes.com/news/fact-chec…
The claim by @RashidaTlaib was that Michigan's AG, through her whole tenure, had never filed charges against protestors doing civil disobedience from other issues like police violence and climate until it came to Palestinians, a common institutional bias in the US.

2/ “We’ve had the right to dissent, the right to protest,” Tlaib says. “We’ve done it for climate, the immigrant rights movement, for Black lives, and even around issues of injustice among water shutoffs. But it seems that the attorney general decided if the issue was Palestine, she was going to treat it differently, and that alone speaks volumes about possible biases within the agency she runs.”
The @ACLU itself made the same claim, saying it represents "a pattern of excessive response by law enforcement to the campus protests".

BREAKING: A new poll from JDCA confirms what we already know:

American Jews are not a monolith or single-issue voters, and our priorities this election are as diverse as our multi-faith, multiracial community. 🧵

1/
American Jews ranked the future of democracy as a top priority, followed by issues like abortion, climate change, antisemitism, and immigration.

Israel ranked 9th for Jewish voters when deciding which candidate to support.

2/ Image
The poll also shows that — just like in 2020 and 2016 — Jews overwhelmingly reject Trump.

72% of Jewish voters back Kamala Harris, while only 25% support Donald Trump.

In the last 24 hours we’ve learned that the ongoing violence has claimed an additional 6 Israeli hostages and at least 47 Palestinians.

We grieve with all of the families and people in deep pain over this tremendous — and avoidable — loss of life.

🧵
We’ve learned the only American who is able to stop it with a stroke of a pen, President @JoeBiden, continues to refuse to enforce his own red line, and make good on his own promise to stop offensive weapons to Israel.

2/
We’ve learned that the person leading this nation with him, VP @KamalaHarris, who is promising Americans a new chapter, is doubling down on militarism which will only take more precious lives.

Jewish people are a vital part of the fight against fascism in this country.

📽️Watch our new video on Project 2025, how the GOP targets Jews, and how we can stop them.

🧵
After Trump's first victory, the right, nor Trump, were prepared to win, so they didn't prepare to use (and abuse) the White House to its fullest, unimaginable potential.

#Project2025 is their response to that, a 900 page plan to build a far right government, in waiting.

2/
And Project 2025 isn't just a plan anymore.

They've created a private sort of "LinkedIn" where they're recruiting, hiring and training people to immediately take hold of every nook in government they can, large and small.

May is Jewish American Heritage month.

Jewish people have been part of the story of the U.S. since its inception, from the promises of its founding, to the many ways the country has failed to live up to those promises, to the fights to make those promises a reality.

🧵 1/
And in this critical moment for American Jews, we can celebrate one important aspiration of our American dream: a true democracy, where all voices are heard and all people are free.

2/
Our ancestors experienced violence and oppression at the hand of authoritarian movements, dictatorships, and laws that restricted their rights and threatened their safety.

Read our CEO's response to @JGreenblattADL's Defamation of Student Protestors across the country.

🧵

bendthearc.us/jonathan_green…
In an open letter, Jamie Beran addresses Joanathan Greenblatt and his recent false statements on MSNBC that put students and Jews in danger.
@JGreenblattADL @ADL Dear @JGreenblattADL,

I was saddened and shocked to hear you falsely call campus protesters "proxies" of the Iranian government. You run an organization that warns about how defamation can lead to violence.

2
@JGreenblattADL @ADL Your organization’s stated mission is to “stop the defamation of the Jewish people…”

And yet, you defamed Jewish people who have a different perspective than you.
