I suspect that's true, but the proportion of people is wildly different. Every leftist I know is anti genocide, and sees Gaza and the West Bank as unconscionable. Some may then take that to antisemitism (rather than simply opposing Zionism). On the right, though? I expect you see a lot more antisemitism leading to "what positions can I express to cloak my blatant antisemitism..."
- gosub100 2mo agoThat fails to explain why trump and other far right pundits are calling Tucker a terrorist for loudly decrying the genocide and the actions of Israel.
- forestrywat 2mo agoDid I say all, anywhere in my post? What in my post suggests that the left or the right is a monoculture?
- gosub100 2mo agoYou failed to cover an important fracture in the Republican party. That there are some big names getting involved with ending the genocide without being anti semitic.
- forestrywat 2mo agoThe only assertion I made about the right is that the proportion of antisemitism is higher. There are absolutely people on the right who are altruistic. Just like there are people on the left who are antisemitic.
- thrance 2mo agoTucker is right to call for an end to the genocide, and he's also personally extremely antisemitic. Both these things can be true at once.
- gosub100 2mo agoName one thing that he has said or done that is antisemitic? The reason I don't take this phrase seriously anymore is because it's diluted every time someone notices something about Israel. I've been following Tucker for about 6 months now and I've not picked up on a single thing that is antisemitic. Prove me wrong
- frollogaston 2mo agoThe IHRA defines antisemitism in such a way that most Americans are antisemitic, including Tucker Carlson.
