It is unsurprising to see so many so-called progressives gushing over Naomi Klein’s hate-filled, trope-laden screed. It is unsurprising that her gross distortions of Judaism and of reality resonate so strongly with an audience eager for a Jewish seal-of-approval for their antisemitism. Of course they think it isn’t antisemitic to accuse the majority of Jews of being “deeply immoral,” betrayers of “every Jewish value,” of being, to summarize a good chunk of her speech, cruel blood-thirsty baby-killers, so reprehensible, so depraved as to deserve every ounce of their contempt.
It is unsurprising but deeply depressing to see people with large followings amplifying the vitriol, hate, distortions, and misinformation which was already spreading like wildfire.
The people who hate us will always outnumber us. This speech is a tool they will gladly use. #Antisemitism#Jewish#Rant
