17,000 tweet ‘Hitler was right,’ and Big Tech barely reacts
lNY Post ^ | 5/24/2021 | Bethany Mande

Yesterday afternoon, the phrase #FireMeghanMcCain was trending on Twitter. What terrible, awful thing had she said to warrant trending on Twitter? The co-host of the View had done something few others have: decried an alarming spike in anti-Semitism.

It’s not surprising, if you’re familiar with Twitter, to see how an outspoken defender of the Jewish people may find herself in its crosshairs. This is a place where variations of the phrase “Hitler was right” were posted more than 17,000 times (according to the Anti-Defamation League) in just a one-week span in May. As in-person violence against Jews has spiked, so too has hatred against Jews online.

They are not disconnected phenomenons; but part of the same ecosystem of hate that has blossomed along with the increase in tensions in the Middle East.

Writing for the Jewish Journal, Pamela Paresky and Alex Goldenberg described some of the research they’ve compiled about anti-Semitism online. They wrote, “According to the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), where both authors are affiliated, “extremist hashtags and slogans are upstream predictors of real-world violence and unrest.”

In a disturbing example, the antisemitic hashtag #Covid1948 has been trending on Twitter in several countries, including the United States. Often accompanied by nakedly anti-Jewish content, the hashtag likens the birth of the state of Israel in 1948 to the COVID-19 virus. According to the NCRI, the hateful hashtag was shared up to 175 times per minute for over 4 hours on May 13. It often appears alongside #FreePalestine and is associated with other antisemitic hashtags like #Hitlerwasright and #Zionazi.”

Yet the Jewish vote en mass for the New National Socialist Democrat Party of America.

Go figure. How in the hell does voting en mass for the next holocaust make sense? That is what they are doing by voting for that party.

Hitler was an anti-smoking vegan.

He also liked children, explained his veganism in terms of the animal cruelty it caused, and Nazi propaganda portrayed him as an animal (especially dog) lover.

While he brutally persecuted and murdered millions of people.

Jew hatred is in the Koran. Hitler had Moslems fighting on his side. It is even rumored that the Mufti of Jerusalem pushed for the final solution from Hitler

For all my life the leftists have insisted that Hitler was right (conservative) so why are they upset when someone agrees with them?

As I recall, the pro-Nazi Grand Mufti of Jerusalem (deemed a war criminal by England), advocated or supported the “final solution” discussed at the Wannsee Conference with Hitler and the boys, January 1942.

Unfortunately, one good book, “Hitler: 1936-1945 Nemesis”, by noted historian Ian Kershaw, does not address or even mention the Grand Mufti. However he does have a good summary of the “issues” of what to do with the Jews who were in Germany or living in occupied territories, which included a serious discussion of a “final solution” pp. 491-493.

These discussions basically led to the “official” “Final Solution” program including the use of poison gases and the extermination camps.

He raised two Muslim SS Divisions in the old Yugoslavia area who did carry out atrocities against Jews, Christians and other minorities.

That's the lead paragraph by some Biden-supporting nitwit.

A Jewish friend told me that the Jews became democrats because they admired FDR so much (presumably for leading the USA in war against the Nazis). If that is true it is ironic because FDR didn't lift a finger to help Jews find sanctuary in the USA as the Nazis began exterminating them.

Blueprints for the death camps were discovered in the walls of a structure somewhere in Germany . To this day the exact location is a closely guarded secret. Why hide it unless it was were the Grand Mufti himself lived?

“FDR didn’t lift a finger to help Jews find sanctuary in the USA as the Nazis began exterminating them.”

Not only that, but Churchill had those, who managed to escape into the UK prior to the war, put into detention centers. Complete with barbed wire, etc. In short, he had them in concentration camps.
