(Jewish Group) Meet the 'groyper army,' movement wants conservatives to be racist and anti-Semitic

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

The young man in the smiley face baseball hat and the Teddy Spaghetti t-shirt had a question for Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, a pro-Trump youth movement. It was about an incident that long predated both of their births, and Kirk knew just what to say.

“Why do you deny the attack on the USS Liberty which is well documented by both U.S. and Israeli sources and which resulted in the deaths and injuries of over 200 Americans?” the man asked Kirk at an October event at the University of New Hampshire organized by Turning Point USA.

“I deny that it was a deliberate attack by the Israeli government,” Kirk replied coolly.

U.S. and Israeli officials long ago concluded that the attack on the Liberty was a tragic mistake. In the midst of the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel mistakenly identified the ship as Egyptian or Soviet and launched an airstrike, killing 34 crewmen. Israel apologized for the attack and paid damages to the United States and the families of the victims, but the incident has nonetheless been embraced by conspiracy theorists as a code for Israeli nefariousness.

Of course, we have some of our own hatemongers, and we have our share who defend anti-Semitism, or make excuses for it, like Shapiro does for this little asshole. It is a fucking shame how little people know about anti-Semitism and its current groundswell, especially on the right; they are willing to overlook most of it, unless it is too glaring.

1. With respect from a landsman, this is not the Jewish Group," but the antisemitism group.

As such, it is valuable, but I urge you to petition the admins for a change of title.

2. So valuable it was worth this comment?

There have been a variety of non-anti-Semitism related posts, but as many don't seem to understand anti-Semitism is real and happening today, I do post articles about it often. Perhaps you can provide threads or just avoid the group all together.
