Seems like a smear of Musk for not siding with Israel and instead calling for a ceasefire or peace.
Looking at the talk Musk had with Lex Fridman.
It's not that he sided against Israel. It's that he sided against Jews. The Israeli government and its supporters like to conflate the two a lot, but they are very different things.
So when someone writes “Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.” and Musk responds with “You have spoken the actual truth.”, that is not an anti-Israel position, that is an antisemite position, one that couldn't be made more clearer even if he posted it with a picture of Auschwitz
Amen!
If you read the religious texts and are familiar with the oral scriptures there you go Though those views mainly only exist in communities of Orthodox Jewish sects that dedicate their lives to religious studies
Please don’t conflate anti-semitism with Pro Palestinian voices. What he is doing is not helping anyone.
Anti-semitism is a real thing, but Israel-Palestine has always made it harder to understand. If it is truly anti-religious or just questioning Israel gov't and actions.
The problem is that Zionists like to say “Israel = Jews”, raging when you say something anti-Zionist that you’re being an anti-semite. However, what Musk is doing is actually saying Jews are the problem. That’s antisemitism. That is not helping Jews nor is it helping anyone who is anti-Zionist because now people will say “see? Anti-Zionist equals anti-Semite, just look at Musk if you don’t believe me.”
I'm sorry, but proclaiming that Jews are conspiratorially poisoning the world against whites is not remotely related to Israel/Palestine. It's blatant Nazi shit. Muddying the waters is also generally crypto-fascist shit, but I don't know you and I'm not going to put that label on you. Just realize that's what you're doing.
To add on to what others have already said
He didn't do that either though? He attacked those calling for peace/ceasefire
He's attacking everyone, as if he's trying to distract people from each controversy with a different controversy
He in fact demonstrated the clear distinction between being an antisemitic Nazi fuckwit and opposing Israeli military actions in Gaza.
He wasn't really in good standing before the conflict.
True, politics makes Musk a tribalist issue.
He wrote that the jews are responsible for the great replacement conspiracy theory, how is that not antisemitic?
