It’s funny asf hearing Ben Shapiro refer to Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens, as “the woke right” because they’re anti-Israel I don’t know if it’s possible to be any more out of touch

Not disagreeing but let’s also call Fuentes, Carlson and Owens what they really are: Anti-Jewish

Dude is cooked. He made Israel his number one issue and then realized his audience doesn’t care about Israel.

Not that he’s wrong, but merely outlining the right as anti Jewish doesn’t prevent this issue, because Ben wants his audience to believe Jewish hatred is a product of progressive ideology. What needs to happen is for society to deny the idea that antisemitic ideology can foment within the left. People need to realize that, if you’re being antisemitic, you’re being right wing, regardless of how you describe your politics. Antisemitism is a fundamentally right wing practice.

Carlson just does whatever makes him money. I mean, they all do, but Tucker Carlson sees more value in being legitimately principled on Israel because it will help him maintain his career. He doesn’t actually care about Israel at all. If it would make him more money, he’d be their most ardent defender. But he’s not really on the inside of the game anymore.

I’m Jewish. I have experienced antisemitism from both extreme sides of the aisle.

You don’t understand what I said. I accounted for that fact in my response.

I’m saying regardless of who does it, whether they self ascribe as right or left, the mindset that is created in order to perpetuate antisemitism is fundamentally right wing. If you’re doing an antisemitism, even if you say you’re a mega socialist, the antisemitism itself is a product of a right wing internal belief system of some kind.

Do you view the pro Palestine movement as being inherently antisemitic?

I can’t personally speak on behalf of the entire pro Palestine movement but what I can say is that the vast majority of experiences I’ve had with pro Palestine people have involved them using the same antisemitic tropes I grew up with but they just replace the word “Jewish” with “Zionist” or “Israel.”

And honestly the fact that I’m getting downvotes simply from talking about my experience as a Jew and saying that antisemitism is bad no matter what side it’s from does not help at all.

I don’t think #3 was disagreeing with that at all
