There’s No Business Like Antisemitism Businesshttps://americanrefugees.substack.com/p/theres-no-business-like-antisemitismReading some online responses after the rescue of the FlyDubai flight from a near-disaster by a courageous Indian pilot and Israeli passengers, it struck me that antisemitism has turned into a kind of business and has been that way for some time.
Bigotry pays—in some cases, big time.
CAM (Combat Antisemitism Movement) immediate report on September 30 illustrates the extent and immediacy of this bigotry business:
FlyDubai flight on Wednesday, antisemitic conspiracy theories were already spreading online claiming the incident was a “false flag” operation orchestrated by Israel.
The first X post making such an assertion was recorded by CAM’s Antisemitism Research Center (ARC) at 2:28 ET, just 67 minutes after the plane sent its first emergency distress signal.
Within five hours, the ARC documented 1,000 hostile posts, and over the full 12-hour monitoring period a total of 2,963 posts were identified attributing the incident to Israel, the Mossad, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Zionists, or Jews.
The posts generated at least 30,000 likes and three million views.
That’s a lot of propaganda, but also a lot of money because, as we all know, clicks equal money, either in the short term or the long term, often both.
I asked ChatGPT who the first scandalmongers were out of the barn and got a not-very-surprising response: Nick Fuentes, Jackson Hinkle, Sneako, Ana Kasparian, and the man with the X handle “Power to the People,” actually a former Hillary Clinton Democrat turned socialist, Ryan Knight. Knight wrote: “The false flags are way too easy to spot.”
And then, of course, there is Hasan Piker, living the millionaire’s life in LA, about whom we have heard a lot lately. I will get back to him.
Italics per the article. A key way to recognize agendized BSers is their haste to go public -
X, FB, other social media - with their idiocy.
