If you’re taking about Lincoln Anthony Blades opinion piece , I genuinely stopped reading when I saw he was essentially blaming Israel for the police brutality at Ferguson in 2014. His blatant ignoring of responses on twitter by implying they’re nothing more than people saying “"stick to make-up"“ was also infuriating.
Saying that Israel is to blame for police brutality against people of color (mainly Black Americans if we’re being honest) in the US isn’t a new form of blood libel, by the way. It’s a white supremacist conspiracy theory.
Oh and it was retweeted by JVP. I, for one, am shocked.
Antisemites in my experience are profoundly ignorant and at the same time incredibly sure of themselves. This combination makes it so that whenever anyone tries to correct them, no matter how well-meaning and polite they are, the antisemite rejects it because they already consider themselves as having all the answers.
So, in that sense, the following Twitter thread makes perfect sense:
Also this week in Goyim Be Goyin’, Teen Vogue has posted yet another antisemitic dog-whistle article (after last week’s “Is Justin Bieber Secretly Controlled By Lizard-People?”), only this time it’s far more insidious: blaming American Jews for police brutality against Black Americans… because Israel… because of course, somehow, Jews are the problem, not white goyishe cops literally in the KKK.
