That ratio is vicious. The same one another liberal media baby, Chuck Todd, is getting, for his smug, paternalistic, racist, mansplaining outburst after finding out AOC said “The United States is running concentration camps on our southern border. And that is exactly what they are. They’re concentration camps.” in one of her Instagram live stories. Even willfully perpetually lost and wrong, the liberal paper of record, The New York Times, calls them Migrant Detention Centers instead of concentration camps. Again, so as not to offend the sensitivities of conservatives who don’t give a shit about Jewish people, but they sure love to use the identity of Jewish people as a persecuted people to punch down on other marginalized, persecuted people. Not one soul that supports an administration that thinks people chanting “Jews will not replace us” has good people on their side is to be taken seriously, yet here we are. This country is a whole-ass confederacy of gaslighters.

The real kicker to all of this is that Hitler and the Nazis were inspired by the way the United States IDed and treated its Black and Brown people. This has been widely reported and covered. Here, here, here, here, here, here… In his Adolf Hitler: The Definitive Biography, John Toland States the following:

He admired the camps for Boer prisoners in South Africa and for the Indians in the wild west; and often praised to his inner circle the efficiency of America’s extermination—by starvation and uneven combat—of the red savages who could not be tamed by captivity.

Hitler and his legions of monsters admired the United States. Perhaps a reason why it looked away (and turned away many Jewish refugees escaping death) during those years when Nazis reigned supreme. The United States of America has never been a friend to the persecuted and marginalized. That includes Jewish folks—whose identity as a persecuted and marginalized people is now being used to silence, to gaslight, to dismiss the persecution, the displacement, and marginalization of other oppressed people. It’s ugly. It’s revolting. It’s brilliant. But brilliant in its brutality.

Even Bernie Sanders, someone who really should know better, is now distancing himself from AOC’s use of the term:

I have a lot of respect for Alexandria and I think she’s doing a fantastic job. What I will tell you is that we are locking up children and keeping them in deplorable conditions for weeks in places that are not meant for kids, and that is absolutely unacceptable.

Yeah, O.K. Bernie. The man is great with his class-based politics, but in matters of race, when it has nothing to do with the marginalization of Jewish folks (he supports reparations for them but not for African Americans) or this magical-rising-tide-lifting-all-oppressed-boats, he is terrible.

I am, perhaps, one of a handful of non-Jewish advocates that throws down for Jewish folks. I’ve debated, insulted, lectured, pushed back, and blocked anti-Semites for years. I occasionally let my networks know that antisemitism won’t be allowed in my presence—not on my watch. And it’s sad that all of this must be stated, but I know how the internet works and how people are always ready to come in bad faith to find holes or supposed omissions in your arguments to dismiss them completely. So, to cover all the bases, please look through this slideshow of posts I’ve made in support of the Jewish community throughout the years:
