US Presidential Election 2016: Sidney's Victory Lap

Where are you going with this 60 million nonsense?

It’s utterly pathetic.

There isn’t a question on census forms “are you anti-semitic?”, to which people answer “yes”, which would appear to be your criteria for determining anti-semitism.

The political parties you support in the US and the Republicans - regularly and mendaciously try and brand people as anti-semitic for opposing Israeli government policy. And yet people like you are totally blind when a Republican candidate then whips up real anti-semitism by embracing the alt-right (far right) and all the anti-semitism and racism that comes with it.

Steve Bannon and Breitbart’s anti-semitism is not in doubt.

You showed your own attitude to real, actual anti-semitism after the election.

This is real anti-semitism, and you’re clearly just fine with it.

Based on a broad set of keywords (and keyword combinations)
designed by ADL to capture anti-Semitic language, there were
2.6 million tweets containing language frequently found in antiSemitic
speech between August 2015 – July 2016.
• These tweets had an estimated 10 billion impressions (reach),
which may contribute to reinforcing and normalizing antiSemitic
language on a massive scale.
• At least 800 journalists received anti-Semitic tweets with an
estimated reach of 45 million impressions. The top 10 most
targeted journalists (all of whom are Jewish) received 83
_percent of these anti-Semitic tweets. _

There is evidence that a considerable number of the anti-Semitic tweets targeting journalists originate with
people identifying themselves as Trump supporters, “conservatives” or extreme right-wing elements. The
words that show up most in the bios of Twitter users sending anti-Semitic tweets to journalists are “Trump,”
“nationalist,” “conservative,” “American” and “white.” This finding does not imply that Mr. Trump supported
these tweets, or that conservatives are more prone to anti-Semitism. It does show that the individuals
directing anti-Semitism toward journalists self-identified as Trump supporters and conservatives.
• While anti-Semitic tweets tended to spike in the wake of election-related news coverage, the language used
in the anti-Semitic tweets was not solely election-related. Many tweets referenced classic anti-Semitic tropes
(Jews control the media, Jews control global finance, Jews perpetrated 9/11, etc.). This suggests that while
the initial provocation for anti-Semitic tweets may have been at least nominally election-related, the Twitter
users generating targeted anti-Semitism may have used news events as an excuse to unleash anti-Semitic
memes, harassment, etc.

While anti-Semitism was primarily directed at journalists who are Jewish (or perceived to be Jewish), nonJewish
journalists also received anti-Semitic tweets following criticism of Mr. Trump – presumably intended
to be either an insult or threat. This is likely connected to the anti-Semitic tropes related to Jews “controlling”
the media, and the media “controlling” the government.
