Blaming Soros for protests, the right exposed its anti-Semitism – again
JVL Introduction
Classic antisemitic tropes are re-emerging, particularly in the US – with Jews allegedly blamed for the corona virus outbreak.
The demonstrations following the murder of George Floyd have been the excuse for new allegations to be wheeled out that black-led activists leading the protests are actually a front paid for by Jewish billionaire George Soros.
These topes are not only antisemitic.
As Joel Swanson points out in Forward magazine, they are also anti-Black. They play on the supposed genetic inferiority of Black people, lacking the intelligence to organise for themselves!
As Swanson says, we need to name both bigotries.
