  I disagree. The Jewish Chronicle specifically links the use of "globalists" as an anti-Semitic dog whistle term to George Soros. https://www.thejc.com/comment/comment/what-does-the-term-globalist-mean-when-it-comes-to-jews-gary-cohn-donald-trump-1.461072 https://www.thejc.com/comment/comment/what-does-the-term-glo...

    This article gave me cancer. Anyway, seems like a good way to increase antisemitism by linking globalism and judaism. Good job TJC.

  To me the rhetoric around "globalists" in general and George Soros in particular really are functionally very similar to anti Semitic rhetoric against those same groups (who happen to be mostly Jewish). This is seen where the person responsible for the Synagogue shooting referenced a conspiracy theory about how Jews were helping the migrant caravan and then president Trump echoed the same theory about George Soros. Edit: the connection between the rhetoric is fairly close and the real question is do those ideas about globalists come from anti Semitic ideas, do anti Semitic ideas come from rhetoric around globalists or is it both? Personally I think it's both as the anti Semitic ideas had similar rhetoric long before people started talking about "globalists".
