Related: About this forum(Jewish Group) Extremists Exploit Gun Control Issue to Stir Hatred of Jews
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)White supremacists are attempting to exploit the tragic mass shooting in Parkland, Florida, and the ensuing debate over gun control to push an anti-Semitic agenda.
Some are seizing the moment as an opportunity to demonize Jews, while others are claiming gun rights as a "white identity" issue. Many are publicly framing the battle over gun control as a struggle between beleaguered whites who want to preserve their traditions in the face of a Jewish onslaught.
White supremacists anti-Semitic attacks began soon after the shooting in Parkland, and intensified in the wake of National Rifle Association (NRA) head Wayne LaPierres February 22 speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). LaPierre used buzzwords that white supremacists associate with Jews, such as European-style socialists, saying, A tidal wave of new European-style socialists [has seized] control of the Democratic party. He also mentioned two Jewish businessmen and philanthropists, Michael Bloomberg and George Soros, as examples of people using social engineering to try to take away the guns and freedoms of Americans.
Neo-Nazis like Lee Rogers of Infostormer and Andrew Anglin of The Daily Stormer, in particular, made a point of connecting LaPierres use of the term European-style socialists to Jews. They promoted the NRA as a pro-white, anti-Jewish organization, in an effort to exploit gun advocates anger over gun control. Both encouraged their followers to join the NRA, claiming that the organization is now fighting on behalf of white interests and against Jewish concerns.

Seems these days too many people like or don't care about the use of hate against Jews.

(1,148 posts)1. The same with the term "globalists"
Alex Jones uses the term "globalist" all of the time, it originated in far-right "populist" circles, but it calls to mind "international Jewish bankers" stereotypes. Then Trump used it. They are mainstreaming it on the right, and the media won't take any responsibility and point out the anti-Semitic history of this language and thinking.

Dog whistles are very popular, especially on the right. As much as they hate "political correctness", they certainly use it to their advantage. The mainstreaming of anti-Semitism is seeing a resurgence, in my opinion.

Globalists, explained
Trump used a (possibly anti-Semitic) insult that illuminates a big fight unfolding in the Republican Party.
At a Thursday morning Cabinet meeting, President Donald Trump bid farewell to Gary Cohn, his outgoing National Economic Council director, whom he described as a globalist.
Hes been terrific, Trump said. He may be a globalist, but I still like him. He is seriously a globalist, theres no question. But you know what, in his own way hes a nationalist because he loves our country.
Mick Mulvaney, the director of the Office of Management and Budget and one of the Trump administrations most senior economic policy officials, struck a similar note in his own farewell note about Cohn, saying he never expected that the coworker I would work closest, and best, with at the White House would be a globalist.
To many people, this term is simply baffling and unfamiliar. But to many observers, it smacks vaguely of anti-Semitism. Its origin lies in a now-obsolete factional conflict between Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner. But it also refers to a very real policy debate that is currently roiling the GOP over how to think about trade policy.
