A string of incidents over the last month has revealed the extent to which bigotry and Jew hatred have taken center stage in the Republican Party and the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement, which ushered Donald Trump to a second term in the White House.

These events show how deep anti-Black racism and antisemitism are within the ultra-right. This political current has the wind in its sails with Trump’s electoral victory last year and the actions of his administration since January — especially sweeping arrests and deportations of undocumented immigrant workers and attacks on democratic rights.

Good luck fighting this after the ADL burned so many bridges.

ADL doesn't care about Jewish people, they are purely about pushing Israeli geopolitical goals.

The one unifying thing the different sects of the Yahweh cult has in common is hating each other. Just wish they'd leave us normal people out of it. Whoever made up the part about suicide barring you from heaven instead of being a direct ticket really sucks.

This is hasbara that equates criticism of Israel with antisemitism.

What specifically are you talking about? The people mentioned in the article are true right-wing Jew-haters, not defenders of Palestine. And the publication has a consistent record of anti-Zionism.

The Zionists are elevating these far right antisemites in order to equate them with any criticism of Israel. It’s part of a campaign to do damage control within the US political system because everybody’s turning against Israel.
