I was also confused. Are they only referring to "It's true" tweet or they have something else?

The whole tweet (https://twitter.com/breakingbaht/status/1724892505647296620 https://twitter.com/breakingbaht/status/1724892505647296620) repeats the antisemitic trope that there's a Jewish conspiracy to "flood" Western countries with immigrants to dilute white voting and cultural power. This--it should go without saying--is false.

  I don't want to be 'that guy' but it's hard to determine exactly what that tweet says because the wording is so convoluted and indirected. In particular the "that support flooding their country" part seems to have some articles missing, as such it could mean many things. I'd read 'their country' as meaning Israel in this context. I mean, if you're talking about Jewish people and you then use 'their country' the obvious implication is Israel. As I said the entire thing is convoluted.

    It says western Jewish populations, referring to the Jewish diaspora in the West. This is in no way about Israel.

        Woof. Ok here we go. "Their country" -- turns out when people say "my country", they mean the country they live in. So "western Jewish populations" refers, in large part, to Jewish people in America who call themselves Americans, because that's what they are. The ways that (truly monstrous) people want to destroy Israel is not by literally "flooding" it (normally I'd lol here but man, this is depressing) because then the Palestinians couldn't live there, but also because it's impossible. Your interpretation of this post rests on American Jews identifying more strongly as Israelis than Americans (pretty problematic right there) and the feasibility of anyone lowering Israel below the level of the Mediterranean (Bond villain-level thinking here).

        You are really going out of your way to excuse racism. Why?

        Did you respond to the correct comment?

  what? it doesn't say that. It's talking about Isreal, it doesn't say that the jewish people are orchestrating immigration to reduce the white population, where are you getting that from?

    The tweet says "I'm deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest shit now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don't exactly like them too much." The guy who shot up Tree of Life synagogue (a couple of blocks away from where my brother and his partner live) was pushing the idea that Jewish people are helping migrant caravans over the US-Mexico border--a trope all over Gab and other antisemitic forums. Let's just all stop giving these guys the benefit of the doubt here. https://edition.cnn.com/2018/10/27/us/synagogue-attack-suspect-robert-bowers-profile/index.html https://edition.cnn.com/2018/10/27/us/synagogue-attack-suspe...

      That trope exists, for sure, and is false, but that tweet isn't repeating it. You're misreading it.

        Nah, I'm not. It might seem like I'm arguing my own point of view here, but all I'm doing is echoing what every pro-Jewish group has written about the post, which neither Musk or its author have disagreed with. You're not arguing with me, you're arguing with reality.

        > You're not arguing with me, you're arguing with reality. I'm not arguing with 'reality' I'm arguing, it seems, with multiple opinions. Just because a consensus opinion has been reached doesn't make that opinion a reality. My read of it seems viable and another person here has reached the same conclusion.
