    The first actual antisemite this award has been given to was Kanye last year. Every other award till then was given to people who simply support Palestine. Nasty.

        never forget that Candace Owens was allowed to remain working at Ben Shapiro-owned Daily Wire through multiple actually antisemitic comments, and was only fired when she criticized Israel 1 time. 😭

      yeah. like the ADL, in addition to the noble task of fighting real antisemitism, they also loop all the way around on the horseshoe back to being antisemitic themselves because they consider all anti-Zionism/criticism of this Israeli state to be antisemitism. :/

    Literally one of the most prominent pro Palestinian voices is a fucking Jew. (Sanders) Such nonsense

      he’s prominent, sure, but i wouldn’t call him leading. he’s rejected ceasefire in the past, which has let him nicely toe the line and stay on the ADL’s good side while also positioning himself squarely outside mainstream pro-Palestine sentiment.

      one of my few huge gripes with an otherwise rather solid guy.

    I guess I’m antisemitic. I’m not a hereditary jew, but my father is.

    But principle is super important to me, and the current situation in Israel shows us its not what the German Reich did in the holocaust that is offensive, but to whom it was done. I wonder if our zionist brethren ever cared about the Roma, the disabled, the LGBT, heck the civilians who had jobs Heydrich didn’t approve.

    Who will care when ICE decides their overflowing detention centers cost too much to maintain, and deporting them all is too much work? Who will care when they decide on the solution to the immigrant question.

    Interestingly, Jewish media during the German Reich was more sympathetic to NSDAP then they were their working-class Jewish brethren. It tracks with the non-right-wing media in the US (NYT / LAT / WaPo) are happy to give Trump all the press he wants (and neglected the whole Harris campaign)

    I think it was a class war all along.

    Let’s actually vote for our favourite. I think Greta is pretty solid because she is clearly just pro Palestine and has been standing for righteous causes basically all her life. Let’s make this whole thing look as dumb as it actually is.

    Next year if people brigade the nominations we could get Bernie for maximum absurdity

    Edit. Ah it’s too late. Looks like Candace won. Next year Bernie!

    Im voting Hasan Piker, considering antisemite of the year basically means “most critical of Israel” its basically a medal of honor (except Candace Owens, shes just an antisemite). Personally as a Jewish person I would love to one day be “antisemite of the year” :3

    Hasan had done A LOT wrong but being anti-Semitic ain’t one
