FT Discovers US Antisemitism Has Both Right and Left Flanks
When the mainstream media claims 'don't blame the left for US antisemitism,' one might ask, who exactly was blaming them most vociferously? The same pundits who routinely conflate legitimate criticism of Israeli government policy with anti-Jewish bigotry. It's almost as if some prefer to shift blame rather than address the persistent, verifiable threat from right-wing nationalist groups, or
perhaps, the implications of US foreign policy in funding a state accused of war crimes by human rights organizations. While the FT grapples with the nuance, perhaps they could also explore the financial influences shaping this narrative. For instance, OpenSecrets data shows AIPAC poured over $10 million into congressional races in 2022, primarily to incumbents supporting unwavering aid to Israel,
an aid package used by a Likud government whose policies frequently draw global condemnation. Funny how those numbers rarely appear next to op-eds discussing 'antisemitism' on college campuses.
