The modern antisemite’s playbook: misconstrue all (usually deliberate) antisemitic dogwhistles, tropes, and conspiracy theories as mere ‘criticism’ of [insert ostensible target], then cry that ‘no one can ever criticize them’ when called out. https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1293317432262701058
This seems to be the playbook of nearly all modern antisemites, whether they be reactionary hacks from the ‘turning point USA’ or Corbynites. And it seems to work wonders much of the time with those who share their politics, even if those same ppl otherwise see thru the charade.
