At the risk of sounding naive, what do the brackets and sunglassses (edit: they're just glasses) mean and how is it anti-semetic?

- paulmd 10y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_parentheses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_parentheses No idea on the glasses. Maybe a reference to the stereotypical g-man? i.e. he was trying to say that Jews control the government? Regardless, the parentheses are pretty straightforward.
- thingexplainer 10y agoI misread the tweet, they said "black-rimmed glasses" rather than "sunglasses". So it seems to boil down to, "It seems like most of our critics are those upwardly-mobile Jews." Another sad chapter in the descent of WikiLeaks from a journalistic organization that was a reason to hope for humanity into a the Daily Mail for the Kremlin instead of GCHQ.
