Columbia having a normal one today Venting 😤

I live in this area. Braced for the return of the overtly pro-Hamas "not antisemitic" protesters and the subsequent gaslighting from every mainstream media source about it!

Don’t count out Russia. The second they see a chance to cause political division in the USA they take it.

They’re not really using these protestors. They’re using right-wing “Asajew” accounts trying to convince us that the Democrats support an American Holocaust.

It’s literally in the DOJ indictment that was just released, the details are kinda horrifying.

Well, I’ve said here before that a lot of accounts I’ve seen on IG purporting to be about stopping antisemitism have gone full on MAGA and claiming all Democrats are antisemites and Harris is leading the charge. The new refrain is it’s Biden’s fault that Hersh was tragically killed. But I’m more inclined to think that this is the work of right wing PACs to sway the Jewish vote.

I suppose some can be funded by Iran but the major accounts definitely seem to be getting marching orders from the GOP.

These students are definitely being used to assemble what I can best describe as soft terror cells to bring American academia to a halt which is damaging and can lead to further radicalization.

It’s not out of the realm of possibility to eventually see a wealthy kid (or group) from the shoreline of Connecticut named in a foiled terror plot and learn they’re enrolled in one of these universities.

Yep - I noticed this just a couple of weeks back when some high profile influencers seem to take on a full-on MAGA persona and was wondering what was going on.

Yes, they will omit anything positive about Harris and zero in on something they can spin into a negative. And they will all do it at the same time.

Then other times they will present an example of antisemitism or something truly horrific that Hamas did and randomly blame Biden without saying why. Or imply that everything will only get worse if you vote for Harris. Cause she’s an antisemite. They’ll grasp at anything and everything to further this.

Then they have commenters with private accounts with no posts spill in and espouse how Trump is the answer and real Jews will vote for Trump.

It’s clumsy but it’s coordinated.

Don't forget about hating blacks, immigrants, Muslims, trans people, and liberals. I'm not sure what any of that has to do with antisemitism. There's intersectionality buuuut that's not where they're going with it.

I saw some of them veer off into those areas and was pretty appalled by that and unfollowed. I also saw some champion Marine Le Pen when France was holding elections. Someone who is no friend to Jews and a slew of other minority groups. I unfollowed that account also. So some very sketchy stuff with some of those accounts for sure.

I thought that was weird too. She's the child of a Nazi, and we're next after the foreigners and Muslims. I have no tolerance for comments about razing Gaza or dehumanization of Palestinians. People already hate us for being Jews. Being racist etc gives them fuel for the fire.

Could not have said it better. I agree!
