I really dislike this sort of "can't touch this" approach. Zelenksy is Jewish? Well then, you cannot criticize the man. In fact, there are billions of reasons to criticize Zelensky and it is not antisemitic to do so.
Similarly, I have made comments about the globalization of the economy, and problems I have with Central Banking, and NGOs spreading huge amounts of money around for bad purposes -- in short: I dislike International Banking. And the response I have often received is: "Oh? You hate the Jews? Is that it??" No. I just don't like International Banking.
It's OK to criticize things. Fear of being called antisemitic (or, in other cases, Islamophobic) is no reason to stop criticizing things that are bad.
Agree.
Exactly/. All Jews are right about everything? What a crock.
Zelensky is a slimy little twerp and would be whether he was Lutheran or Catholic or Buddhist.
Indeed, and the world abounds with liberal Jews who are no friends to anyone of God. Yet the issue here with Carlson is the isolationist fantasy that we should just focus on the issues at home, meaning domestic enemies. As if external enemies as Islam are not a threat, and in which Israel is a rare and the most formidable ally in the Middle East. And much of the US aid given to it comes back via purchases of military hardware, etc. Carlson (despite being right on other issues) even criticized Trump for executing a notorious Iranian general. And defends Putin who boasts of nuking the US and would censor FR, as he does evangelicals (etc.) from acting as they should . And defense of Putin extended to asserting "The Italians, in other words, are in a better position to take over the world than Vladimir Putin" since the former have a larger economy.
exactly. Personally, I don't really care one way or another about Jewish folk. I don't buy the whole "jews control the world" crap. BUT when you see how quickly even untouchable folk on the left such as the bitch at Harvard get shut down completely for stepping stepping on Jewish toes, it does make you think a bit. Makes you go "hmmmmm". You don't have to be an anti-semite to recognize actual power being exercised.
Zelinsky is Jewish. Attacking him or Jewish supporters of Uraine for it is antisemitic
