AP Claims Celebrities are Busting Antisemitism Taboo

Elvis Dunderhoff December 4, 2022

I resent the framing of the Ye situation by the Associated Press.

What people are advocating for is a public conversation about the role that Jewish power is playing in our society. Given what happened to Ye after he spoke out about Jewish power, it is effectively impossible to deny the immense power of organized Jewry, so it is now time to talk about the implications of this power.

Most people would be okay with Jews having an outsized amount of influence in American society if they were open about it and willing to be held accountable for how they wield that power. However, the Jews are instead claiming that they are above reproach, and no matter how much sway they hold over society, no matter which decisions they make, they can never be held accountable, and in fact cannot even be questioned at all.

This is not the way society works. The masses of people have to have a mechanism through which to engage in redress of grievances against the powerful.

AP:

A surge of anti-Jewish vitriol, spread by a world-famous rapper, an NBA star and other prominent people, is stoking fears that public figures are normalizing hate and ramping up the risk of violence in a country already experiencing a sharp increase in antisemitism.

Leaders of the Jewish community in the U.S. and extremism experts have been alarmed to see celebrities with massive followings spew antisemitic tropes in a way that has been taboo for decades. Some said it harkens back to a darker time in America when powerful people routinely spread conspiracy theories about Jews with impunity.

Okay, well if they are saying that this has happened before in America, then that is a direct admission that it does not imply impending genocide. The standard claim, of course, is that you’re not allowed to talk about the Jews at all as this will lead to a genocide.

Former President Donald Trump hosted a Holocaust-denying white supremacist at Mar-a-Lago. The rapper Ye expressed love for Adolf Hitler in an interview. Basketball star Kyrie Irving appeared to promote an antisemitic film on social media. Neo-Nazi trolls are clamoring to return to Twitter as new CEO Elon Musk grants “amnesty” to suspended accounts.

“These are not fringe outliers sending emails from their parents garage or idiots no one has ever heard of. When influential mainstream cultural, political and even sports icons normalize hate speech, everyone needs to be very concerned,” said Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber, a leader in South Florida’s Jewish community.

Northwestern University history professor Peter Hayes, who specializes in Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, said normalizing antisemitism is a “real possibility” when there is a “public discussion of things that used to be beneath contempt.”

“I’m very concerned about it,” Hayes said. “It’s one of the many ways in which America has to get a grip and and stop toying with concepts and ideas that are potentially murderous.”

It is both extreme entitlement and extreme paranoia. Or maybe it is just the former masquerading as the latter.

Either way, white people – who have been attacked as a group with increasingly vitriolic hatred for years, with the group attacks going into overdrive in the wake of the alleged murder of George Floyd – cannot be expected to accept the idea that the richest and most powerful ethnic group in America is completely above all criticism.

Trump hosted Ye — the rapper formerly known as Kanye West — and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes for dinner at his Florida home on Nov. 22.

Fuentes was a Boston University student when he attended a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, that erupted in violence in 2017. He became an internet personality who used his platform to spread white supremacist and antisemitic views. Fuentes leads a far-right extremist movement called “America First,” with supporters known as “Groypers.”

On Thursday, Fuentes joined Ye in appearing on the Infowars show hosted by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. Ye praised Hitler during the interview, ratcheting up the rhetoric that already cost him a lucrative business deal with Adidas.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that if he hadn’t been completely canceled, he would not have made these comments about Hitler.

Maybe taking a guy’s children away from him and taking $2 billion from him in a single day caused him to lose sensitivity to Jewish feelings?

Jonathan Greenblatt, national director and CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, said it is astonishing and alarming that two of the nation’s leading purveyors of antisemitism were “breaking bread with the erstwhile head of the GOP.”

“I would characterize this as the normalization of antisemitism. It has now become part of the political process in a way we hadn’t seen before,” Greenblatt said. “And that is not unique to Republicans. It is not just a Republican problem. It is a societal problem.”

Most Americans knew it was “beyond the pale” when torch-toting white supremacists marched through the University of Virginia’s campus on the eve of the 2017 rally, said Amy Spitalnick, executive director of Integrity First for America, a group that backed a lawsuit against organizers of the Charlottesville rally.

“What’s even more dangerous than Nazis with torches chanting, ‘Jews will not replace us,’ is when we have political leaders and others espousing those same conspiracy theories in increasingly normalized ways,” she said.

The claim that any of what is being said by Ye or Nick Fuentes is a “conspiracy theory” is in itself a conspiracy theory.

Everything they are saying is backed up by data, and it simply cannot be dismissed anymore.

We are going to have the conversation. We are inviting Jews to that conversation. If Jews do not want to attend, we will have the conversations without them.

Spitalnick said the virulent hatred that Ye has been spewing can make diluted expressions of antisemitism seem more normal in contrast.

“It’s crucial that we hold Kanye and Irving and these other public figures accountable for their antisemitism. But it means nothing if we’re not also recognizing and holding accountable the ways in which this antisemitism and extremism has seeped into the mainstream of one of our major political parties and become commonplace in our political discourse,” she said.

…

Musk announced last week that his “amnesty” plan applied to accounts that haven’t “broken the law or engaged in egregious spam.” Online safety experts predict that the move will lead to a rise in harassment and hate speech.

I’ve been on Twitter, and there is not any anti-Semitic hate speech that I was able to find. Many leftists threatened to kill me, and expressed hatred towards white people and Christians, while also promoting offensive tropes about Asian women being nothing more than pornography sluts.

However, everything that I have seen from right-wingers has been fact-based and reasonable.

The solution to what is happening is open dialogue. Whether Jews actually believe everyone is trying to kill them or if they just make that claim to try to manipulate “the goyim” is irrelevant. It is a matter of fact that no one is planning to kill the Jews, and these insinuations – which are frankly bizarre – cannot be accepted any longer as a rationale for the refusal to discuss Jewish power.

It may be time for the Jews to give up some of their power. Maybe white people need to give up some of their power too, as the Jews have been so aggressively calling for throughout their entire media apparatus for years?

Or maybe white people don’t really have any kind of relevant collective power, and the Jews just made that up?

Either way: it’s time to have the discussion.

We’ll hash it all out and get to the bottom of things, and then we’ll start to talk about solutions which can bring fairness and equal representation to our society.
