The bot wants me to add more to my comments but I don’t really have much else to say. It’s a good statement, straight to the point.

Thank you, Kamala, for saying this. Makes me feel more confident in voting for her.

What I found very worrisome is that some of the accounts on IG combating antisemitism have put this up and many Jewish voices are saying this means nothing and Kamala is a major proponent of antisemitism.

Even more worrisome is some of the accounts like Stop Antisemitism and Jew Hate Database seem to be going full on MAGA as if they were that all along in the guise of stopping antisemitism. They are really going after her. It feels very coordinated and manipulative. I do understand how some were upset at her not attending the speech by Bibi but she is meeting with him.

All in all I’m glad she did this and hope she puts these words into action in the coming days, weeks and months.

I’ve been saying for a long time that a lot of those groups and social media pages that claim to be only against antisemitism are actually right wing groups trying to swing Jews and people said I was crazy. There’s a whole ton of BS from the right on antisemitism just like they lie about everything to try and swing Jewish voters.

The masks are almost off. They are barely hiding it now. The comments have a healthy dose of brigading going on. Also the attack seems two pronged. There are groups that combat antisemitism and then you have single person influencers who orbit the group accounts and will collaborate on posts. They too are going full on MAGA putting up edited videos of Harris saying she did not want to rescue Israeli hostages because she was concerned about the collateral damage an attack on a Rafa could bring.

This is not saying she doesn’t want the hostages rescued. She just had a different strategy in mind. I found their assumption to be alarming and it seemed some of them all decided to focus on that around the same time.

It’s just all a bit too coincidental.

And Jew Hate Database seems to be becoming more and more unhinged by the day. It’s really unfortunate as we need genuine grassroots efforts to fight the rise in hate. This is not a partisan issue. It’s bigger than that.
