Yes. The real home of antisemitism is on the left.

One of the key lines from Schumer's landmark speech on antisemitism today:

He emphasized the current wave of antisemitism isn't coming primarily from the far right, but from “people that most liberal Jewish Americans felt previously were their ideological fellow travelers."


That's right, Chuck. They've always hated you.

Dope1: He emphasized the current wave of antisemitism isn't coming primarily from the far right, but from “people that most liberal Jewish Americans felt previously were their ideological fellow travelers."

That's what happens when you get your "news" from Twitter.

Schumer actually said: "Many of the people who have expressed these sentiments in America aren’t neo-Nazis, or card-carrying Klan members, or Islamist extremists. They are in many cases people that most liberal Jewish Americans felt previously were their ideological fellow travelers."

The words "primarily" and "many" are not interchangeable.

You missed the point.
The fact that Chuck Schumer - as partisan a democrat if there ever was one - is saying even this much should tell you something.

Sorry, bud. Twitter's here to stay. Your monopoly on information control is ovaaaaah. Enjoy!

And oh, yeah. Schumer also said this:

"No matter what our beliefs are, no matter where we stand on the war in Gaza, all of us must condemn antisemitism with full-throated clarity whenever we see it before it metastasizes into something even worse. Because right now, that’s what Jewish Americans fear most," Schumer said in remarks on the Senate floor.

And he's absolutely right.
It's frightening to see how virulent, energetic and how casually people are running around saying and doing antisemitic things.

Here's the kicker:
"While the dead bodies of Jewish Israelis were still warm, while hundreds of Jewish Israelis were being carried as hostages back to Hamas tunnels under Gaza, Jewish Americans were alarmed to see some of our fellow citizens characterize a brutal terrorist attack as justified because of the actions of the Israeli government," Schumer said.

Schumer argued that many Jews in recent years have rallied in support of Black and brown lives, for LGBTQ rights, and against anti-Asian hatred "out of the recognition that injustice against one oppressed group is injustice against all." He added, "But apparently, in the eyes of some, this principle does not extend to the Jewish people."


It's very simple, Chuck. The right hasn't been your enemy all along and the people you thought were allies? They're not with you.
