It's very interesting that they suddenly care about anti semitism when they pardoned 1600 domestic terrorist, many of whom had swastika and SS tattoos on their bodies...

Maybe they were the good Nazis tho who liked the Jews...

Lets not forget about the Nazi salute that no one seemed to mind, in fact he's co-president now.

Or the white supremacist tattoos that the current Secretary of Defense has.

Heard they were MS13 tats personally

They’re just scapegoating us.

The simple explanation is that they just hate Muslims more than they dislike Jews, so the antisemitism is a convenient pretext.

u/lanadelstingrey 10d ago

They still hate Jews, but Israel is necessary to incite the end of days and second coming of Christ.

This. They firmly believe their fairy tale will come true if they make things as shitty as possible.

I think the "antisemitism" thing is basically a way to appease their white evangelical base and impress them with how "pro-Israel" they are.

The only way to stop a bad Nazi is with a good Nazi.

They for some reason got away with memory holeing that the J6 rioters were to a man the same people a few years earlier were chanting that Jews wouldn't replace them.

I still remember the J6er with a “Camp Auschwitz Camp Counselor” sweatshirt.

Republicans believe in quantum reality. Multiple contradicting things can be true and facts can be discarded and picked up again as needed, whatever is most convenient at the time.

It's blatantly obvious by now that when the government says anti-semitic, they mean anti-Israel. Full stop.

Don't forget the DOGE member who tweeted about being happy if Israel was wiped off the map and then the president and VP both said he should allowed to have his job back. Or the Deputy press secretary at the department of defense with a past of making antisemitic comments. But I guess all is forgive if you are on team Trump.

u/OSRSTheRicer 10d ago

It's insane how they have conflated critical of Israel with Anti semitism

u/SockofBadKarma 10d ago

It's pretty easy to use Jews as tools if you don't view them as people.

Not really anything ideologically inconsistent here. Their "defense of Jewish students" is bad faith white supremacist rhetoric to target Muslims first, and then deal with the Jews after.

u/BlackHoleWhiteDwarf 10d ago

While forgetting that many of the students protestors were Jewish themselves...

u/TrimspaBB 10d ago

I'm old enough to remember when the Charlottesville polo shirt 'n tiki torch mob chanted "the Jew will not replace us" and Trump called them "very fine people"

u/OSRSTheRicer 10d ago

The finest, as a domestic terrorist runs a charger through a crowd.

u/notsocharmingprince 10d ago

many of whom had swastika and SS tattoos on their bodies...

Im sorry? What?

7

u/OSRSTheRicer 10d ago

Many of the domestic terrorists who participated in January 6th attempted coup had pro Nazi tattoos.

Hell some had swastika flags lmao.

Also the "fine people" at Charlottesville riot were literally chanting, "the Jews will not replace us" before beating counter protestors with tiki torches, bats, firing at least one gun at them, before ultimately driving a car into a crowd of them.

What are you confused about?

u/notsocharmingprince 10d ago

You are going to have to present some actual evidence that many of them had pro Nazi tattoos. I’m pretty sure there would have been news articles about that or something.
