“Suggesting that Jews are wealthy is a tired trope, and targeting our community at an event focused on creating economic opportunity for San Franciscans is decidedly antisemitic.”
I want to look at this quote.
Suggesting that Jews are wealthy is a tired trope
This part is true, of course.
and targeting our community at an event focused on creating economic opportunity for San Franciscans is decidedly antisemitic
This I think is antisemitic, right? The combination of saying "creating economic opportunity for San Franciscans" as a positive thing, which everyone (including, I'm sure, the person saying it) knows really means "giving away money stolen from the masses to rich people", and the specific emphasis on that in relation to the Jewish community.
Yelling "tax the Jews" is antisemitic regardless of context, yet this quote is choosing to make a specific association between the Jewish community and right-wing economic policy meant to benefit the wealthy. Am I completely misunderstanding this?
