A day after Yom Kippur, here's a self-styled Jewish organization expressing outrage at Jews for applying the urgent lessons of our history, memory and conscience to the current American nightmare. @AJCGlobal continues to be a shonda working to jeopardize American Jewish lives.
American Jewish leaders will spend more energy condemning comparisons to Nazis than they will condemning the white-supremacist demagogue in the Oval Office implementing policies of ethnic cleansing and demanding violence against marginalized communities.
Amazing that the above grotesqueries happened hours before Trump publicly instructed his Proud Boy Nazis to "stand by" for the moment, and later ordered his white supremacist militias to actively intercede on Election Day.

My new essay comic, Antisemitism in a Time of Genocide, is now up at @mdiplo in France. I’ll thread the 8 panels in English here, and link to the French at the end.
Musk claimed "massive demonstrations for Hamas in every major city in the West" are funded by naive Jewish philanthropists who support movements seeking their own annihilation. Sorkin was too naive/fawning to interrogate this basic tenet of Zionist antisemitism.
Donald Trump and Bari Weiss parroted similar lines in 2019 (direct quotes):
Musk's bff, likeminded Zionist antisemite Benjamin Netanyahu, has been spouting similar conspiracies for years:
Per some queries: the Hebrew graffiti in the back reads "Mavet La'aravim," "Death to Arabs," found in graffiti and chants west of the Jordan River, e.g.:
It's alarming but not surprising to see, in some replies and lots of QTs, absolute denials of what's been happening in the past several weeks amid claims I'm just making shit up. So here's a sampling of just some of the "inspiration" for this art. 1.
Naftali Bennett is a fascist murderer who's boasted about killing Arabs and who rushed to defend white supremacists after the Tree of Life massacre. He is a bigoted monster who, like Netanyahu, will be heralded as messiah by the vast majority of American Jewish leadership.
Here's Bennett, second from right in each panel, along with other murderous Israeli leaders in 2015, after nonstop racist government incitement inspired settlers to burn to death Ali Saad Dawabsheh, an 18-month-old Palestinian baby, along with his parents in an arson attack.
Here are two reports among several of Bennett's rush to defend white supremacists in the aftermath of the Tree of Life massacre. timesofisrael.com/after-pittsbur…
In today's copy/paste of the one column she's written for the past five years, Bari Weiss insists this was the national American consensus in the 1980s and 90s:
Anyway this is transparent by now but:
To be precise, she might've been specifying the 80s alone, which is arguably worse:
People who have argued “It’s okay to go on Stormfront TV to challenge their views” + “It’s okay to go on Stormfront TV to get Trump to pardon Assange” ought to contend w/going on Storrmfront TV *today* to salute demagogues and recite far-right disinfo: video.foxnews.com/v/6226100158001
Oh and before the drooling reactionaries scurry in, yes I’m a radlib neolib neocon DNC sellout Patriot Act 2 supporting corporate shill/FBI/CIA/NSA/Silicon Valley cuck, you fucking clowns
