I tried to debate a Korean American who is opposed to the massive illegal immigration taking on the southern US border. He’s a firm believer in that idea that rich powerful Jews are encouraging this. I pointed the Catholic Church is also encouraging it (I cited news sources to prove this). The man is a Catholic. He said they might be doing it but they didn’t have the motive to destroy society as he knows it. Which Jews definitely do, he assured me. I could make zero progress with him.
I’ve noticed that even the liberal readers are of the NY Times are solidly opposed to this illegal immigration. Most are holding off on supporting Republicans as they’re social liberals. Still I believe the leaders of the US should do something. It’s definitely increasing anti-semitism among people like him.
in amongst the content of the inflammatory statement is a truth that there is a trend amongst many liberal Jews to feel a form of angst/guilt/whatever else that takes them to proactively supporting certain politically charged movements/activities while turning a blind eye to some of the less savoury aspects of what might be happening with their money. For better or worse, and I'm not attempting to judge, there's a lot of Jewish money sent into minority liberal causes, not all of which are politically naïve. How much Jewish money was plowed into BLM before it became apparent that at least some of its leaders and chapters wanted to use the platform to demonize Israel and Jews? How much is still going in despite this?
The language is provocative but can also be understood in a way that would not be as problematic as you're proposing - I, for one, read it like that until I had the opportunity of reading your excellent explanation to the contrary

That’s astonishing.

Hi Dave. Love your site. My first view of the Holocaust photos changed my view of humanity.
Having said that, what breaks my heart right now is the tragedy of the Palestinian children and right wing Israelis calling for a new Nabka.
