This is the part the American press can’t seem to learn. They’ve appeased and both-sided these dangerously bigoted fools for so long that they’re incapable of actually changing their coverage strategy.

“They don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt when it comes to this alignment. It has been a steady stream of signaling to rightwing extremists that they have an ally now in the White House.”

We all have eyes, it’s the job of the press to tell us what we’re seeing and why, not tell us we didn’t see what we all know we saw. Cover Nazis like they’re Nazis.

The Guardian using that image is gold. That flag is perfectly in place.

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. Moderating this comment is pro-Nazi.

It's okay though because Musk and his husband support the right of Israel to do their own holocaust, so they can't be antisemites. It's the anti-holocaust people who are antisemitic! /s

Halie Soifer, CEO of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, called the remarks “incredibly dangerous,”

I wonder when they're going to come out and call her and extreme-leftist when she's spouting such antisemitic rhetoric. After all the "leading anti-hate organization in the world," the Anti-Defemation League, was quick to point out that Musk is just "overly enthusiastic."

Cool. I once again have to worry about being an "other" wherever I go.

AfD are openly very strong supporters of Israel and pushed for resolutions against BDS in 2019 and now supported an "anti antisemitism" resolution in the German parliament, which is designed in a way that shifts the blame for antisemitism away from German Nazis and onto Muslims and Leftists critical of Israel.

The BDS resolution was already used to silence critics of Israel, disproportionately affecting Jews critical of Israel. Now the new resolution suggests having the interior intelligence screen scientists and artists to make sure they are "without a doubt" not antisemitic, aka they most not have voiced any criticism of Israel. The most cynical aspect of it is that it does mention last years Berlinale as an example for antisemitisim because a Jewish documentary director called Israel an Apartheid state. Meanwhile the resolution does not refer to a terror attack by a Neonazi, who tried murdering Jews in a synagogue in Halle a few years back.

Unfortunately the Social Democrats, Greens, Liberals and Conservatives were all in on it.

The AfD is only displaying the most extreme form of a sentiment prevalent in German politics. Downplay German fascism and antisemitism by the right and center and blame it all on people crirical of Israel.

There is a great podcast about the insanity of Germanys way of dealing with it, interviewing Emily Dische-Becker, who is one of the writers of the Jerusalem definition of antisemitism. The Jerusalem definition is an alternative definition to the IHRA definition with the goal to properly seperate between antisemitism and criticism of Israel.

The photo has got to be a Pulitzer winner. Talk about being at the right place and the right time...or should I say rhight? You know, how do you spell the word associated with Nazis again?

If netanyahoo and the ADL are cool with nazism, then what could go wrong? \s

We (as in all the people, Jews obviously included) should be living in peace and happiness. The billionaire leeches should be the ones fearing consequences for their actions and greed. One day this dream might come true.
