Neat. The site known for its extreme propaganda gave no source for its specific claim.

Edit: I mean credible source. The combat antisemitism group is also propaganda paid for by a lot of anti Muslim sources.

The source they "cite" is the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CSM) which is a far-right group founded by a rich, Republican donor, Adam Beren. It started out innocuous enough... With no history whatsoever it asked a whole lot of companies to sign a very boring pledge to not support antisemitism. These companies signed it because, "Why not? Antisemitism is bad. Sure."

Now CSM is running around claiming "over 700 companies" support it and making videos blaming "woke" ideologies for... Antisemitism (I kid you not):

Thank you for the details. Why am I not in the least surprised.
