ADL: JARED KUSHNER A GROWING TARGET OF ONLINE ANTISEMITISM

Series of antisemitic tweets claim that Kushner is manipulating Trump and leading the United States into war for Israel’s benefit.

Antisemitic invective against Jared Kushner has shot up recently, according to a report by the Anti-Defamation League.

The ADL report, published Monday, documents a series of antisemitic tweets from white supremacists directed at Kushner, an Orthodox Jew and President Donald Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law. The tweets, sent by leading antisemites like David Duke and Richard Spencer, claim that Kushner is manipulating Trump and leading the United States into war for Israel’s benefit.

“#FireKushner No one voted for Kushner,” Spencer tweeted on April 7. “Indeed, many of us voted against people like Kushner having power.” On Saturday, Duke tweeted, “We are being brought down from within. ZIO [Zionist] Supremacists are the true enemy of the American people… not Assad, not Putin. #FireKushner”

Shameful #antiSemites such as #DavidDuke & #RichardSpencer are using #FireKushner to circulate Jewish conspiracies: https://t.co/W2SQWtSjuB pic.twitter.com/MyRKIOwGVq — ADL (@ADL_National) April 10, 2017

“This campaign of anti-Semitism has been driven by white supremacists and anti-Semites and has all the hallmarks of classic Jewish conspiracy theories,’ the ADL wrote in a blog post.

The tweets come in the context of a feud in the White House between Kushner and Stephen Bannon, Trump’s populist chief strategist who used to run the site Breitbart News, which he called “the platform for the alt-right.” As Kushner’s stock has apparently risen in the White House, white supremacists have responded in a number of ways from claiming Kushner is a front man for Trump’s white nationalist views to smearing him as a nefarious adviser who controls Trump.

An ADL report in October found that “more than 2.6 million tweets containing language frequently found in antisemitic speech were posted across Twitter between August 2015 and July 2016.”

Kushner is the husband of Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter. She converted to Judaism before the couple married in 2009.

That’s just what we want you to think. Heheheheh.

2008—Obama 78%/McCain 21%
20012—Obama 69%/Romney 30%
2016—Clinton 71%/Trump 24%

I keep hoping that the almost universal antisemitism of the Democrat Party and the liberal leanings of so many Jews in America will come to a head. My preference would be for the democrats to drop their hatred toward Jews, but I am not optimistic that Jews will vote for equality or that democrats will drop their hatred.

I’d also like to see the anti-black bigotry of the democrats finally fade away (after 170 years of building their party on that perspective, initially keeping slaves and former slaves down by force, and now keeping them dependent on big government). Again, I am not optimistic that democrats can abandon the bigotry needed to justify their love for government control over our lives.

A little less than 0.2% of this planet’s population is Jewish, around 15 million people out of a world population of 7.5 billion.

I don’t align myself with the subjects of this article, but “Zionism” does not equal “Jewish."

Zionism is supporting the return of Jews to the land of Israel.
While timing concerns may be admitted, AntiZionism essentially equates with being antiIsrael and national antiSemitism as it denies Jews their historic homeland.

Do you agree with UN resultion 3379 that " Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination ?"

Do you agree with UN resolution 3379 that " Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination ?"

If the United Nutjobs want to call me a racist and a discriminator for supporting Israel and the Jewish people, I proudly wear that as a badge of honor. Come to think of it, a number of my college friends and I did just that back in the 70s when 3379 was first passed.

Jared is not being watched because he’s Jewish. It’s because he’s a liberal from NY.

[SaraJohnson]

I dislike being around any commie liberal.

[Rashputin]

Looks more like the classic Jewish "don't disagree with our agenda" scam to me.

[Nero Germanicus]

Its the political leadership and role-modeling in the black and Jewish communities that keeps them tethered to the Democrat Party.
There are 49 blacks in Congress, 3 of them are Republicans. There are 30 Jewish members, 2 of them are Republicans.

It’s always interesting to see how many were involved in founding such Pro-American activities like the Feminists, the NAALCP, etc.

I’m at a bar the other night with a fat disgusting looking 30-something on the prowl. Common frieds. Anyway she wouldn’t shut her pie hole finally she said she is Jewish from Coral Gables. Made perfect sense. But my experience is every single one I know is a liberal twit.

Also since I don’t lie Neocons I can’t help but notice a minor correlation. This hog the other night wished Jebby had won. I finally said I was a Nazi sympathizer who infiltrated leftist online groups during the election (totally untrue) because I’m a Fashy Goy. I could tell my intelligence was turning her on and had to shut that down. No fat girls white or otherwise. And definitely no lefties.

The allegiance of any American, and of any human being anywhere and at any time, should be to the One True G-d.
When I was speaking of allegiance, it was in the context of pledging fidelity to one's nation and in that vein, divided loyalty is unacceptable. When a nation's laws oppose God's Word, those indwelt with God's Word are to oppose those laws. The degree or form of opposition should be directed by the Word and Holy Spirit.

Anything that attempts to take the place of the One True G-d is an idol, and idolatry is forbidden by the very first commandment to both Jews and non-Jews.
I would agree. Jesus is God incarnate. What do we call people who refuse to worship Jesus the Christ (Yeshua Ha-Mashiach)?

Loyalty to G-d means loyalty to G-d's will in both domestic (the fight against homosexuality and other sins) and foreign (protection of Jews in the Holy Land) policy. There is something extremely sinister when "conservatives" claim that the latter cause somehow undermines the former.
I'm not sure what you mean here. If my saying that Israel is not the 51st state offended you, then you are offended by the truth.

It's also quite depressing--but not surprising--that so many conservatives, even here on FR, see religion as merely an aspect of ethno-culture. Most FReepers defend chrstianity, not as the "one true religion," but merely as something Americans are supposed to practice because "that's what Americans do." Does that mean that Saudis are supposed to be moslems? Indians are supposed to be hindus? Tibetans are supposed to be lamaist b*ddhists???
People who consider themselves Christians because they are American or their parents are Lutherans or they were married in the church etc.. unless these individuals have been born again - they are not Christians.

This exaltation of blood and chromosomes (while hypocritically condemning Jewish nationalism) above Absolute Truth is the essence of "palaeoconservatism"--essentially a form of religious relativism.
Absolute truth is a person not any religion. His name is Yeshua. If you want to know absolute truth - you must be born again, in Yeshua Ha-Mashiach. .

Yes, there are anti-Semites who hate Jews because they are Jews. There are also people who disagree with Jews because of their positions or questionable fidelity. The latter are not anti-Semites.

Where is your evidence that Kushner is loyal to Israel and not America?

[rmlew]

Antisemites are always their worse enemies and the useful idiots of the cultural marxists, they claim to oppose.

Kushner is a sniveling liberal. Attack him for that.
If it is true that Kushner supports Israel's right to restrict immigration to protect its identity, but does not extend this to other countries, then praise him for his nationalism and demand consistency and intellectual honesty. Don't join the communist-Islamist alliance in attacking Israel. And don't be so damaged by grievance as to fantasize that Kushner's position on America or Europe is based on the interests of Jews or Israel. These interests are only met by reducing Muslim immigration, expelling colonists.. er "refugees" and stopping the influx of third worlders who don't like Jews.
But instead, antisemites will attack Israel and Kushner, giving ammunition to the left. Because they are not rational actors.

[rmlew]

There are 49 blacks in Congress, 3 of them are Republicans. There are 30 Jewish members, 2 of them are Republicans.
By birth, 3 are Jewish. Jason Chaffetz converted to Mormonism in college. (He's got an interesting bio. Evidently, his father's first wife married Michael Dukakis.)

[mac_truck]

I wonder if this new online harassment is the work of the same group of people who were calling in bomb threats against Jewish Community Centers.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I don’t want Kushner so close to Trump, either, but not because he’s Jewish. It’s because he’s a lib.

[JesusIsLord]

Where is your evidence that Kushner is loyal to Israel and not America?

Let's review want I actually said, namely: "There are also people who disagree with Jews because of their positions or questionable fidelity."

There is no mention of Kushner in this statement. It's a general statement expressing why some people disagree with Jews.

[cloudmountain]

With all the antisemitism coming from the left all they can point out is a couple of tweets from long discredited nut cases? It looks to me like the ADL is just trying to paint any criticism of the establishmentarian policies Kushner is pushing as antisemitism.

Boy, am I out of the loop. I had to look up who Aaron Kushner is. I was out of town...in TEXAS for a while. My friend has no Internet. Imagine that. She also has no newspaper as her podunk down has no newspaper, and she lives 45 minutes outside of the no-newspaper town. She has to rely on the boobus-toobus. Yikes.

[UCANSEE2]

Where have you been the past 8 years?

Here and there.

Liberalism almost destroyed our nation! We know it doesn’t work! Good grief!

Liberalism unbound and violating the law doesn't work. But even liberals have a good idea once in a while. A WISE MAN listens to all input, and then can DISCRIMINATE between what is helpful and what is not.
