They target Musk and Kyrie Irving noted non-participant in the COVID shots then Kanye West who’s been supportive of Trump as the “Anti-Semites”.

West has a drug problem IMHO which causes statements to come out from him that can be used against him.

G-d help him to find some sanity and sobriety in his life.

If the ADL was worried about anti-semitism they’d disband.

They did this stuff in 1964 when Barry Goldwater whose ancestors were Jews persecuted by Russia in Poland was running for POTUS.

Goldwater and his supporters the Nazis, the Far Right etc. etc.

ADL was all in for Lyndon Johnson and the Democrats.

How about pointing out specific examples and explaining why you think they are antisemitic, ADL?

I had a hard time even seeing Kanye’s remarks which he denies are antisemitic.

Let people judge for themselves.

Persuade rather than coerce.

Top-down censorship will change no one’s minds, except maybe in the unintended direction.

These same people tried to stop “The Passion of the Christ” by claiming it was antisemitic. Most people disagree.

I’m not going to go along with kneejerk reactions intended to manipulate people.

Free speech can be sloppy. Free speech can be hurtful. You certainly can get rid of those negative components. But then it wouldn’t be free speech anymore.

That’s something classical liberals understood. But today’s liberals, no.

I wonder what’s more likely?

A. Elon Musk is purposely letting anti-semites tweet lies...

OR

B. Dirty Trick Leftist democrats are posting this crap to “get” Elon?

My guess is that most of the antisemitism on Twitter now is by disruptive liberals who want to trash the platform they once controlled.

They do not like to lose and will do anything and everything to pit people against one another in order to profit from the chaos.

They say ‘antisemitism’ but not a word about Black Hebrew Isaelites. I think that is an important discussion.
(Nary a word about ‘Abolitionists’ at the ALC. https://abolitionistlawcenter.org/ A wrench in the justice system concerning incarnations. Imho)

Leftists coming at you from all directions.

I'm not Jewish. However, I worked in NYC for 20+ years. I've had many great - and not so great - colleagues who were Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and other things I can't remember (yes I know it's coming off like "...some of my best friends are ____". Please work with me).

Something tells me, many haters have had zero interaction with the object of their hate, or at least a biased sample. That leads to racist posts. Ayn Rand put it well.

Racism is the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism. It is the notion of ascribing moral, social or political significance to a man’s genetic lineage—the notion that a man’s intellectual and characterological traits are produced and transmitted by his internal body chemistry. Which means, in practice, that a man is to be judged, not by his own character and actions, but by the characters and actions of a collective of ancestors

Approaching people as individuals has always worked best. If people want to spew vective, then I appreciate them making their ignorance well-documented. That way, I can step aside. Surrendering your position is the sign of a poor strategic thinker.

And if an individual Jew-hater comes after you with sticks and stones and you end the problem with a firearm, you deserve a medal.

There was a report that thousands of such posts came from only 300 accounts.

Sounds like an orchestrated false flag attack.

To disagree, or point out facts which may put cast the subject in a negative light is not antisemitic or anti-anything. If I knowingly make false statements or indicate a hate then call me antisemitic.

Musk wants free speech, even if it offends the thin skinned.

Or how about, there happen to be a lot of anti-Semites around, and now they’re venting, just to see if this whole “free speech” thing is for real.

What about other forms of bigotry? Did they increase? If not, why not. And we can draw whatever conclusions we like from the facts. Free speech is a beautiful thing, even when it’s ugly.

The facts, when revealed, will clarify everything. Without free speech, you can’t find out the facts.
