Why do so many people, especially leftists, hate Jews?

That's what I'm hearing. I watched an interview of an African American woman who converted to Judaism and moved to Israel several years ago. She is back in the States because of violence of Hamas against the Jews. She is shocked to see so much support for Hamas in the U.S.

She's saying that she knows Jewish people in New York City and San Diego who wear hats to hide their yarmulke because of fear of the pro-Hamas lefties.

Really? Where was his interview? What channel?

No she doesn't know Jewish people in New York City that have to hide their Yarmulkes. There's over a million Jewish people living here, and some sources put it way higher than even that. There are more Jews in New York City than there are in Tel Aviv.

And not just Jews, Orthodox Jews, Hasidics, and they're not hiding anything.

The Dave Rubin Report. He interviewed Ashira Solomon. It's 32:02 minutes long. I know this exceeds your attention span by 32:00 minutes but just give it a watch.

Rubin used to be one of you. He used to be on the Young Turds until he realized they were idiots.

This link is on YouTube. Just letting you know that it is on YouTube because whenever I post a link for you, you run away from it with some lame excuse. This is not on some unknown website.

Well seeing that this is the first time I have ever heard of Ashira Solomon what do you think? She said that she has a TV show in Israel that is similar to The View so I would have to say that she is funded by the Israeli TV network she works for.

I think there are literal nazis - and I mean literal, not buzzword nazis - on both sides via horseshoe theory. Same thing happened in every iteration of the KKK, where the amount of their members was roughly even between the major parties.

What I think is important is that the majority of us, regardless of party affiliation, call them out and get them out. There is no room for racial terrorists in our political landscape

"What I think is important is that the majority of us, regardless of party affiliation, call them out and get them out."

I agree and disagree with that statement. Yes, they should be called out but they, just like the rest of us, have the same right to vote and the same right to free speech as we do. The free speech clause in the first amendment was specifically meant to protect speech the majority of people do not like.

The influence the KKK and the Neo-Nazis have is far overblown by the media. They are both dying organizations and they have no clout at all. No one likes them.

The American Nazi movement in America started not long after it started in Germany. It came out of the Progressive movement in the early 20th century. It wasn't just Hitler the Progressives liked. They praised Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini as "men of the future".

The KKK started in the 19th century and found a home in the Progressive movement at its beginning. Democrat President Woodrow Wilson used the KKK as his own personal Secret Service agents, in addition to the actual Secret Service agents.

Both the KKK and the American Nazis were exclusively Democrat for decades. It was only recently that they made a shift to the Republican party. I have no idea why. The Republicans don't want them. They have nothing in common with them. As far as their politics goes the American Nazis have way more in common with the Democrat party than the Republican. The Democrat party is still the Progressive party, they never dropped that. There are Progressives in both parties but with the Republicans the Progressives are in the leadership position and not the voters. With the Democrats it is both voters and leaders.

I left the Republican party over 10 years ago and joined the Constitution party because of the Progressives who have seemed to have overwhelmed the conservatives in the Republican party leadership.

I mean, I’m all for freedom of speech and expression and all that, but I don’t think that every idea has equal value or safety in the marketplace of ideas. After all, our literal markets have restrictions on things like dangerous drugs for good reason. That being said, you have a point there.

And yeah, neither group has much appeal these days. Not since the ideas of Williams Jennings Bryan overtook the more restrictive platforms of the Democrat party have many politicians entertained either group’s ideas. But they’ve still existed on both parties, though they weren’t too open about their affiliations. Though yes, Wilson is definitely in the wrong for hiring them, as well as any other politician who’s done the same.

As for why they’ve been shifting towards the Republicans side, I actually read a good book on that called The Politics of Losing. Admittedly, it’s more about how Trump won 2016, and drawing parallels between his campaign’s strategies and KKK recruitment strategies, though that’s not to say said methods were deliberately inspired by the other. I recommend you give it a read and tell me what you think about it

Listen, I’m quite different from them the political spectrum, but I hate assuming the worst in people. Unless you have proof of what you’re insinuating about their family’s past, I don’t think that’s fair to claim that of them.

I’m not trying to defend any bad things they or their family have done or endorsed, but I’d rather somewhat get along with people rather than rush to make enemies

Hey, I don’t believe every word that they type. But what I do see is spirit behind those words. I bet they genuinely believe what they say, so who am I to deny their right to their beliefs? It’s the Golden Rule.

Drugs can kill, words on the other hand can inspire someone to kill but other than that the only damage they can cause is emotional. The problem with controlling speech is who are the people controlling the speech? What are their motivations?

On Facebook, Twitter (before X) and even here on ImgFlip, speech was so tightly controlled when it was conservative or Christian speech. All of the platforms have lightened up but if they go after anyone it is the conservative or Christian.

This is also a problem on YouTube where they are still deleting conservative videos. Conservatives who create content for profit on YouTube are frequently getting demonetized over words they use.

So if we look to the government to regulate speech I can guarantee you that they will start by shutting up conservatives and Christians because the government is behind all of the censoring on social media. We found that out when Elon Musk took over Twitter and removed a bunch of FBI agents who were assigned to Twitter to help monitor speech.

If you are using social media to organize a group who will go out and commit crimes then, yes, throw them out. But just because I think taxation is theft is no reason to shut me down. Just because I heard good things about ivermectin in helping COVID patients, back in 2020 and 2021, don't shut me down. Especially when all of the doctors who spoke out against it are now doing a 180 on them.

I have been thrown in Facebook jail a few times. ImgFlip has stopped me from posting for hours to days just because of some of the things I have said.

I'll have to look that book up. It sounds interesting.

I don't think Trump had anything to do with the KKK or Nazi becoming Republican. They were doing that before Trump. A lot of people want to link Trump to either or both of those groups and I think that is wrong. If there is an actual link then expose it but fabricating a link and then promoting that as fact is wrong.

I guess if they want to vote they have to join some party. Unless the election is real close, there's just enough them to sway an election. The Nazis should've never left the Democrat party because ideologically they are so very similar. The KKK, who knows why they even exist any more. Originally they were sort of vigilante justice after the Civil War when the South had been decimated. After order was restored they should have become history. They aren't needed or wanted.
