      I can’t believe how far you’ve missed the point. You are accusing Jews of being upset over a comment that minimizes antisemitism because some nefarious scheming cabal has paid to make people feel that way. You still don’t realize how antisemitic that is. You still don’t realize that you are the one being targeted and manipulated.

      I have challenged you to pause and actually think critically about the wildly unfounded accusation you made. You responded with repeated insults and weird stalking, staunchly falling short of the task. You still haven’t come up with any plausible firm or individual paid to “generate outrage,” nor an organization paying, nor a smoking gun ad, paid social media campaign, nor commercial, nor any mechanism that this supposed money was used to supposedly influence people.

      You’re grasping at straws now with vague handwaving at everyone’s favorite boogeyman, AIPAC, which spends about 1/1000th as much as each of Saudi Arabia or Qatar.. Israel doesn’t even crack the top 10.

      I’m finished trying to lead you by the hand to the conclusion that you made an unfounded claim, based in part on antisemitic messaging you have been unknowingly exposed to.

      Jews are scared and under physical attack. around. the world. It’s not something that started in the past six weeks. It is harmful when millionaire public figures minimize or justify antisemitism.

      You clearly don’t get it, won’t get it, and have no interest in getting it. Here’s a list of charities helping Israelis and Palestinians. Stop wasting your breath insulting a vulnerable minority and go do some good.

      Hand In Hand Schools

      Oxfam

      Doctors without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)

      IsraAID

      Save the Children

        I don’t get it, how is it antisemitic to say that jews are being treated like shit? Nowhere does she say she thinks that is a good thing or that she wants that. Honestly do not get how that is any where close to what I would call antisemitism. She isn’t even criticizing jews, which if she was I would call reductionist, like saying all Germans are anal retentive or Italians are noisy, or Americans are dumb. Which by the way, I’m a little annoyed I have to point out I’m not saying any of those things my self, they are just examples

            But you would say that she is justifying a rise in anti semitism because she is being patronizing, dismissive and infantalizing?

                Not everything offensive is antisemetic, although antisemitism is offensive. Conflating the two is where you are confused.

                The second paragraph in your response shows you making assumptions that you cannot justify. You do not know me, or my history, so presume not that you do so you do not appear foolhardy.
