Islamic bigot Cenk Uygur’s attack on Israel in the context of the El-Sayed ad raises serious reminds about a resurgent antisemitic double standards. Pretending Israel isn’t fighting for its survival against armed groups backed by Iran and other hostile forces is a gross distortion of reality. Blaming Jews—or singling out aid to Israel as the culprit behind grocery prices—echoes a long and ugly history of antisemitic scapegoating. Foreign aid to any country is not a direct explanation for rising grocery bills, and isolating Israel for special condemnation demands scrutiny. When Israel alone is singled out, while its security threats are minimized and Jews are blamed for ordinary Americans’ economic struggles, again political rhetoric is being used as a convenient mask for animus and antisemitic prejudice.
In addition, there's the glaring irony, given the context of troubling questions about Islamist El Sayed's loyalty and Muslim Brotherhood links/sympathy.
Some background:
Cenk is Hasan Piker's uncle, both of Turkey origin. The duo Islamic bigots founded the progRacist TYT. Ana Kasparian is infamous for trafficking in vile antisemitism. No wonder she was a kenote speaker at genocidal Hamas-linked Islamist lobby CAIR - pro Oct 7 atrocities.

We Jews are the whipping boy of the world. We Jews gave the world God, the Bible and Jesus and in response we are the most hated and reviled group of people on Earth.
I’ve found, throughout my middle class life, that the largest of all my expenses has consistently been taxes.
Your life is more expensive due to the continual move from the limited government of the 18th century towards unlimited government.
The Fed’s forcing of inflation doesn’t help either. We could actually use a year or so of deflation if that could be managed.
Yes
The same here
If these Jew-haters wish to stop buying — and by extension: ‘eating’ — food, then we wish them well in their attempt to achieve starvation.
Satan’s Antichrist and False Prophet will deceive the
Kings of the Earth into a Final War to Destroy Israel 🇮🇱
Once they have gathered and go forth...
This WILL be the Real Armageddon and the
Second Coming of Jesus Christ to Earth
But first, 7 Years of ‘Peace and Security’
Revelation 16:12-16
21st Century King James Version
12 And the Sixth Angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the East might be prepared.
13 And I saw Three Unclean Spirits Like Frogs come out of the mouth of the Dragon, and out of the mouth of the Beast, and out of the mouth of the False Prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of devils working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the Earth and of the Whole World to gather them for the battle of that great Day of God Almighty.
15 “Behold, I come as a Thief. Blessed is he that Watcheth and Keepeth his Garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.”
16 And he gathered them together at a place called in the Hebrew tongue, Armageddon.
