So I'm making a thread for everybody confused by this weekends shitshow. It started with Corbyn being suspended from the labour party amid accusations of antisemitism. Many of these were manufactured by the right however a few were legitimate.
One example is the mural pictured. Corbyn, like many others, missed the antisemitic subtext obvious to many Jews. This is normal and happens all the time. It in and of itself is not a big deal.
What was a big deal was the response by leftists who loudly and proudly declared there is no antisemitism on the left. Pictured here is an editor for Jacobin telling leftisrs to ignore when a 'neoliberal' brings up antisemitism.
We have a sizable leftist podcast defending a statement that implies that Jews are the bourgeoisie. This is extremely offensive and plays on the rich Jew stereotype. The same podcast asserted US Jews are not at risk less than a week after the 2 year anniversary of Tree of Life
Jewish leftists of course took offense. The response was to accuse us of killing the leftist Christ and outright holocaust denial. By keeping these people in leftist spaces they are unsafe for us.
Even beyond this specific instance many leftists are openly antagonistic of Jews. Calling for the destruction of Judaism and attacking any Jew as a zionist who points out the antisemitism problem.
We bring this to your attention because you claim to be better than the fascists. Please try not to disappoint.
