Musk has also gone out of his way to deplatform journalists while reinstating literal Neo-Nazis.
It’s pretty clear that what’s happening is that his obsession with conspiracy theories and his absolute hate of journalists, like with most fascists, has made Jews an easy target.
He has also been engaging in Great Replacement conspiracy theories with other antisemites a bunch this month, but the antisemitic part of it tends to be overlooked.
Sweden has spent a lot of time trying to clean up his act and pretend he's not a bigot.
He claims that all the evidence of him denying the Holocaust is photoshopped, and I suppose having conspiracy theorist followers helps with people believing him.
That's all nonsense.
Rational Wiki has a great entry on him with lots of sources if you need some help with him. For some reason he has preemptively blocked, unfortunately.
The Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs conducted a survey of US Jews’ views on the war.
The findings are very important. They shatter a lot of preconceptions about US Jews.
The first one: 51% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed with Biden’s decision to withhold arms.
Second: About 30% of US Jews believe Israel’s government is engaging in genocide. Only about 50% unequivocally say it isn’t.
Third: While the poll showed widespread concerns about what US Jews have seen at campus protests, the views on the protests as a whole were more complicated.
Only 28% considered the protests purely anti-Israel, 60% saw them as anti war, pro peace (for 25% also anti-Israel).
It’s interesting to see how many Jews on the right are shocked by the change in tone of voices like Tucker Carlson & Candace Owens.
They have been warned for years that the allyship from the right was conditional and temporary. But their worldview blinded them to this.
Among authoritarians and extremists there is no such thing as true allyship. How much more true when it comes to Jews who are essential to far right conspiracy theories.
If you are a Jew who thinks you can depend on those who wish to oppress others, you are a gullible mark.
But it’s not just about gullibility: it’s about how a worldview based in justifying the oppression of Palestinians in Israel and the targeting of vulnerable communities in America has made these far right Jews blind to how they’ll always be next in line once the others are gone.
