I'm a troglodyte. That being said is calling someone who is Jewish a parasite an antisemetic trope of some sort? I am genuinely curious. I've seen a lot of things that are but "parasite" is new to me.

Also, is the person who said it part of StopAntisemites, or are they just quoting her? Am I missing something? For someone out of the loop this really seems like pearl clutching, but I don't know shit.

Yes, and a very historically prominent one.

This is plainly just cheap point-scoring on OP's part (the org is a heinous fascist institution, but this just isn't much of a refutation) but along with the parasite thing indeed being a historically significant trope, even if the "StopAntisemitism" people didn't write the quote, they are reprinting it to promote it, which has no meaningful difference.

typically I would be doing so as a way of presenting my own stance using someone else's words for rhetorical

Did Lenin say something about the economist being a propaganda rag? Your example doesn't hold up for me.

is that the case here? Is this 'typical'? After looking into it, it is quite the shitty thing to say about someone but directly attributing a quote doesn't seem to be a this- is-that situation.

Lenin called The Economist is “a journal that speaks for the British millionaires.”

If I made a Twitter post that said “‘The Economist is a journal that speaks for the British millionaires’ - Lenin” it would be pretty reasonable to assume I was agreeing with him, especially if the fact that I dislike The Economist is well known.

StopAntisemitism is a known right wing account, their opinions on these elected officials is known to be negative. When they post a quote of someone else negatively talking these elected officials, you can reasonably assume they’re sharing it because they agree. They don’t have to also say “We agree!”
