Christopher Roofo: The Political Right and the Antyssemitic Influenceer Problem

Editor Note: The following column was published for the first time City journal,

In 1991, a motorcycle carrying a Jewish Rabbi became cruel through the Crown Heights of Brooklyn. After separating from the group, one of the cars fired a red light and hit another vehicle, which climbed on the curb and hit two black children, injuring one and another dead. Within a few hours, the neighborhood was broken into riots, with a crowd of black residents targeting Jewish institutions. The next morning, a Jewish graduate student was killed and killed by a group of young black men.

As the tension increased, Race Husler al -Sharpton organized a protest at the scene, in which the Jews were depicted as “diamond dealers” responsible for global exploitation of blacks. Followed another round of looting, barbarism and violence.

Further flash for the present. Hamas launched a terrorist campaign against Israel on 7 October 2023 and built fertile land for another publicity war. In the United States, leftist academics confiscated the moment to support the rally for Israel’s “dicolonization”, and in the digital circle, a new anti-Jewish Jewish raised its head. Many impressive online commentators-especially, Kanye West, Candes Owens, and Andrew Tate-have used meditation to carry forward the principles of conspiracy around 7 October and especially in the case of the West, from the “right-wing” perspective.

Stop talking, start teaching: New York should fight to eliminate antisementism in our schools

The two episodes provide an attractive point of comparison. Antisemitism is an ancient sorrow, but it takes a different shape throughout the history, which depends on the culture, language and technology of this time. In today’s case, we see a revival antisementism that has dismissed politics and has eliminated ourselves in cyberspace. In short, the Crown Heights riots have been digitized.

The first thing to understand is that Sharptan’s activism was a form of meat-and-rich caste politics that was adapted to the television era. His story in Crown Heights was created on a special complaint, against special people, in a special neighborhood. It generated its power on a leftist troph: Jews were harassing the poor black blacks, and the government was taking the side of “white interplopper (S)” on indigenous minorities. The desired result of Sharpton was tangible: he demanded the driver’s imprisonment and, more widely, cash for his organization, which operated like mafia protection racket.

The new-Jewish anti-death has taken a different turn. The leaders of this movement are not political activists, but social media “influenced”, who have created a legend on a leftist, oppressed/oppressed structure, but on an immersed, right-coded conspiracy theory. At the behest of these influential people, the Jews have controlled the US media, flooded the society with pornography, and have organized a sex-related blackmail ring to secure support for Israel.

The term of this campaign is also new. While Sharpton demanded to express the spirit of Bayana resentment, right-wing affected people have adopted a separate, irony, irony, schizoid tone-hallmark of the postmodern discourse. When Kanye West advertises a swastika T-shirt, it is not because he is indicating support for an organized new-Nazi movement, but because it is a symbol of crime and is a fodder for digital sensorship, which will allow him to play martyrs. (West’s disturbed mental state should not be exempted as a factor here.) Online, online, the story is operated through the leftist network, which considers it useful to reduce the support for Israel, and through the rightist network, finds it helpful to build audiences.

The irony tone, of course, does not leave the West and its followers. Nor does this mean that their narratives will be included in the digital realm. American Jews are properly afraid that this North -modern antismitism will spread to the real world and consequently occur violence, as is done in Europe and with a Tree of Life Administration shooting in Pittsburgh. The dynamics of such violence also reflects the complications of the new digital culture. Unlike the Crown Heights riot, where Sharpton’s rhetoric was directly gathering the crowd, the relationship between online discourse and decentralized, acts of memorable violence is often unclear.

There is also question Qi BonoThe simple answer is that the Jews offer a convenient sacrifice goat: Kanye West can pin the defect on a “Jewish doctor” for a decline related to its bipolar disorder; Andrew Tate can take responsibility for “The Matrix” for his various criminal action. But there is also another answer, one who reinforces the Sharpton model: business. Internet rewards enjoy the demand for the market to scandals, shocks, and wireless, and conspiracy principles. Candes Owens have never been more popular, converting each outrage and allegations into new ideas, followers, customers and revenue.

There is no easy answer to this problem – certainly not a digital censorship or criminalization of speech. Better approaches include patience: push back on antisemutic narratives and create a establishment capable of paying attention and implementing the limits of decency. Antisemitic ideologies can be attractive in the digital economy, but they are poison in the political circle. The authority should reject him and his traders, such as it rejected Sharpton a generation earlier.
