The most influential promoter of antisemitism in the United States isn’t Elon Musk, who appeared to Sieg heil at Trump’s inauguration; nor is it Kanye West, who famously tweeted that he loved Hitler, or the podcaster Candace Owens, who has promoted the blood-libel conspiracy theory. The pro-Israel lobbying organization Stop Antisemitism wants you to believe the real danger is actually a lady in overalls and a pink headband who sings about how bubble gum is sticky.

The organization that has spent the past year and a half publicly identifying pro-Palestine protesters is now coming after Ms. Rachel, a beloved YouTuber known for her videos for babies and toddlers. In a letter posted to social media on Monday, StopAntisemitism asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate whether Ms. Rachel is “being funded by a foreign party to push anti-Israel propaganda to skew public opinion” and referred to her as an “amplifier” of pro-Hamas content.

stop killing Palestinian babies = antisemitism

semitism = killing Palestinian babies

feels like Stop Antisemitism is really underrated in the "most evil domestic Zionist organization" department right now, this is literally a McCarthyist tactic

It's a tight race, the ADL straight up defended a Nazi solute (that was repeated for emphasis). They never took back that support either, merely regretted the "framing".

What the heck is "elon appeared to seig heil"? He did a nazi salute. This news org needs to quit talking around it

Did Mr. Rodgers have to deal with this type of nonsense back in his heyday?

He kind of did. He shared resting feet in a wading pool with a black man when public pools (read: all pools) in the US were segregated. I wasn't old enough to recall that happening in the moment, but I guarantee he got a rash of hate mail over it.

Was he vocally pro-Palestinian? If so yes, I guarantee it. Zionists have been doing this shit for decades.
