We Have Seen This "Antisemitism Crisis On The Left" Script Before by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

It sure is a crazy coincidence how western politicians and media always start urgently telling us about an invisible epidemic of left wing antisemitism every time western military ties to Israel are subjected to widespread public scrutiny.

It is getting bad, and it will likely get worse.

The mass media are filling up with op-eds and cable news segments about how antisemitic leftist anti-genocide protesters are becoming.

Instagram progressive Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently hosted two virulent Zionists in a livestream where the three spent their time concern trolling about the rise of antisemitism in left-wing activist circles.

Whoever runs Joe Bidens presidential Twitter account for him is tweeting about "horrific acts of Antisemitism" by demonstrators, citing four incidents which were demonstrably not in the least bit antisemitic.

Every single part of this is incorrect.
1. Protest criticized the weaponization of 10-7-23 to justify death
2. Only 1 person (of 4) were Jewish
3. Faculty are not getting attacked??
4. Someone made a joke that Zionists would probably want to leave a car full of Palestine supporters

These same false claims about antisemitic activity by protesters are being used by United States officials like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to push through the "Countering Antisemitism Act", a bill which would give the White House new powers to "counter the spread of antisemitism online" (read: government internet censorship to promote United States and Israeli information interests).

And it is so important that people who are new to this understand we have already seen this "crisis of antisemitism on the left" song and dance before; they ran the exact same script a few years ago in the United Kingdom to kill the rise of Jeremy Corbyn, who supports Palestinian rights.

It is the exact same bad faith concern trolling op where the whole political-media class suddenly starts pretending to believe something that is transparently ridiculous in order to protect an agenda of the empire.

It is also important that everyone understand that every part of this is 100 percent cynical manipulation.

The people pushing this narrative are fully aware that it is false.

Everyone knew Jeremy Corbyn was a lifelong anti-racist who did not have an antisemitic bone in his body.

Everyone knew there was no crisis of antisemitism in the Labour Party.

But they pretended to believe otherwise because they did not want to see socialism and anti-imperialism gain a political foothold in the United Kingdom.

The same thing is happening in the United States and throughout the west right now regarding protests against the genocide in Gaza.

Step one: define criticism of Israel as "antisemitism"

Step two: threaten social media companies with punishment if they allow "antisemitism"

Step three: effectively censor all criticism of Israel.

This is Twitter files on steroids. "please see here:"- Briahna Joy Gray (briebriejoy) June 15, 2024

So when you see people aggressively rejecting the concern trolls on this issue, that is why.

They have seen this schtick before, and they know how politically devastating it can be.

They have seen how it can be used to suck all the oxygen away from real discourse about real things and funnel it all into this insanely vapid, idiotic conversation about a problem that exists nowhere outside the imaginations of the people talking about it.

It is a deeply evil, disgusting thing to do, especially now in 2024 when it is being done to facilitate an active genocide.

There is no crisis of antisemitism on the left.

It is not happening.

The people pushing this narrative know it is not happening.

Even the claim that anti-semitic incidents overall are on the rise is highly dubious, given that the figure everyone always cites for this claim comes from the Anti-Defamation League, who after October 7 began categorizing pro-Palestine rallies as antisemitic incidents - including rallies organized and attended by Jewish groups.

People get into left-wing politics exactly because they oppose racism and injustice.

Nobody who actually understands the pro-Palestine movement sincerely believes all these peaceniks and commies have suddenly morphed into Jew-hating Nazis in contradiction of their entire worldview.

They might pretend to believe this is a real thing that is actually happening in order to advance a political agenda, but they will not actually believe it.

There is plenty of hatred for Jews to be found on the extreme right, where the ideological inability to acknowledge capitalism and western imperialism as the source of todays ills leaves a void for blame that will be filled by anything from Jews to immigrants to Satanic pedophile cabals to drag queens.

But it is always the lefties who get the overwhelming brunt of the antisemitism accusations, because their pro-peace, pro-justice, anti-colonialist, anti-racist activism makes them an obstacle to the information interests of Israel and the murderous empire which supports it.

We saw it with Corbyn, and we are seeing it again today!!
