The last thread became a referendum onn the war, so bringing the focus back. .

It’s also in our current discourse. Tucker has gone full anti-semitic.

EDIT: Wow, this is a really good article. I knew McCarthy (the old red scare one) was a dirtbag, but boy, does this paint him in even a worse light. Anti-semitism existed even after WW2, right here in America, right here in mainstream society and politics.
Candice Owens too.

This guy lit his own apartment on fire to harm the Jews who lived above him.
THIS is the problem with academia today.
A Cornell professor that praised the 10/7 attacks as “exhilarating” is now back teaching.
And now you know why a lot of us do NOT consider the Ivy League to be all that.

Apparently, at CUNY the 1st Amendment doesn’t apply to Jews. Especially concerning at Baruch College, which is named for a Jew.
@uhlaw97 don’t you have a degree from Baruch?
Yeshiva U.
America’s FLAGSHIP Jewish university!
Ignorance of history.

Academia, especially at this level, is OVERWHELMINGLY liberal.
Will never change
Both candidates will say anything to get votes
News at 5
I’m not sure how those comments get votes.
Because Jews in the US have largely voted blue, and while I doubt that really changes because establishment democrats will always support Israel, it’s really the far left liberals that are showing antisemitism
Unfortunately elite academia is going to be more radical than any other institution
I get that but those comments aren’t the way to convince them.
Well I know that
I’m not saying it’s a good strategy by trump

You should read up on that. The U.S. Jewish nationals and Post WW2 immigrants were not treated very kindly in the U.S. in the period after the war and decades after. Joe McCarthy in particular was hugely anti-semitic.
?
I’m not suggesting otherwise
First of all, this wasn’t intended to be a thread about red vs blue. I wanted to focus on how pervasive antisemitism is so I was avoiding posts about red vs blue.
The fact of the matter is that it is really BOTH the far left and the far right that show antisemitism. You see it more from the left when it comes to the current war (again, don’t want this to get off into a referendum on the war)., which gets more focus. But when you have the GOP candidate for Governor of a state, who has a history of antisemitic rhetoric, only being asked to drop out after his posts calling himself a black Nazi were revealed, you can see that both parties are willing to embrace antisemitism until it hurts them.
With all that said, can we divorce the partisan conversation when it comes to antisemitism in this thread?
