> "In recent years, Soros has been a particular target of this treatment, but any Jew or Jewish institution that accumulates some measure of wealth or status tends to attract it, whether the Rothschilds or the state of Israel. In such cases, legitimate criticism is overtaken by conspiracy; the issue is no longer the conduct of the Jewish actor but their very essence."
I don't like Musk even before he said those things, and I actually like Soros and his political support of open society, but I feel like this article is trying to persuade me of some non-sequitur like 'criticism of the conduct of the state of Israel is anti-semitic' which I don't like.
- jpmoral 3y agoI think it's saying that any legitimate criticism (e.g. of Israel) is overtaken by anti-semitism. So in Israel's case there is both legitimate criticism and anti-semitism directed towards it and the anti-semitism and discussion of it becomes more prominent. Then there are those who, as you point out, equate the two.
- askin4it 3y agoWhy the need for all the qualifiers and pre-explanation? It's a fair, and I think, accurate assessment of the ongoing smear campaign being waged by the legacy media against Musk and others. The way you framed up the comment sounds almost like an attempt to avoid any kind of potential scrutiny of your remarks by whatever group you are obliquely referring to. Aside from this contorted attempt to bend a comic book reference into Mein Kampf, is there is a shred of evidence that Elon Musk is a bigot in any way at all?? I would suggest the way the media is framing this up indicates an almost pathological obsession with conflict on their part. Why isn't that the story? Sorry, dumb question.
