If you see a post that says that Israel is getting away with genocide because it's Jewish, or because Jews are given some sort of special privilege in society due to the holocaust, or because of the position of "privilege" the west gives to Jews, or because our society is "too sensitive" to antisemitism: RUN! Those takes are not coming from a good place.

Zionism is supported by the west despite it being Jewish, not because of it. It's supported due to propping up foreign interests in the region and justifies American imperialism in West Asia. For some it's supported due to the desire to bring about Christian apocalypse.

If someone treats Zionism as being propped up because of some sort of Jewish power in the west they are promoting antisemitism, weather knowingly or unknowingly.

“This thing can’t possibly be an antisemitic dog whistle, it’s just a commonly used phrase!”

My dude you are so close to understanding how pervasive antisemitism is

Mike Lindell conspiracy theorist and pillow seller just put his pillows on sale for $14.88

This is a well known dog whistle from antisemitic and white supremacy groups

Some antisemitic dog whistles to watch out for

Because overtly hostile antisemitism is difficult to sell to people, and because it often gets people banned from media platforms, conspiracy theorists rely on other terms to get their ideas across.

Note that people will sometimes use these terms without understanding their connections to far right conspiracy theories, and some of them have legitimate uses outside of far right conspiracy theories. Don't assume that everyone who uses them is a secret Nazi or something. However, do pay close attention to what else they're saying and who they're getting their info from.

Banker/International banker: references the conspiracy theory that Jews control the banks.

Cabal/Kabbalists: references the belief that the Jewish conspirators are into Kabbalah (which is sometimes claimed to be satanic).

Globalists: references the conspiracy theory that Jews are working to create a one world order.

Talmudists: Literally just means Jews.

Marxists/Cultural Marxists: references the conspiracy theory that Jews created communism.

Leftists: references the conspiracy theory that progressive/leftist politics are a Jewish conspiracy.

The elite/elite bloodlines: references the conspiracy theory that most wealthy/ruling families have Jewish blood.

Khazars/Khazarian mafia: references a debunked hypothesis-turned-conspiracy theory that Ashkenazi Jews are descended from a group of Khazars who converted to Judaism. (Conspiracy theorists often claim that this means Ashkenazi Jews aren't "real" Jews - which is nonsense from every angle because Judaism does not measure Jewishness through genetics.)

Generational Satanists: references the 13 Illuminati bloodlines conspiracy theory, which is basically a knockoff of the material in The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion combined with blood libel and the anti-Catholic conspiracy theories of Alexander Hislop. Conspiracy theorists often claim that it isn't about Jews, it's about powerful families who sometimes just happen to be Jews, but like... c'mon, it's an obvious Protocols/blood libel knockoff that also happens to demonize a few more people. You're not slick.

Lizard people: references David Icke's assertion that the world is under the control of blood-drinking reptilian aliens who created Judaism to enslave humanity. Some people literally believe in Icke's lizard aliens; some just use the term as a dog whistle for regular Jews.

If you believe that hews are crying antisemitism over nothing and that we are making antisemitism up, congratulations you are now participating in white supremacy!

There is the antisemitic dog whistle annudah shoah, which is meant to mock a Yiddish accent saying "another shoah". Shoah is a Hebrew word commonly used to refer to the holocaust.

Annudah shoah is meant to mock jews who call out antisemitism. The people who use it, do so because they think that jews are making a big deal out of nothing, and/or are lying about antisemitism. It was created by white supremists

If you believe jews are either lying about antisemitism or are yelling "antisemitism at trivial matters" you are using the same logic as white supremists.

For my fellow non-Jewish people, a list of terms to watch out for

Here's a whole PDF of antisemitic vocabulary and examples and history that was put together by the American Jewish Committee. Read it. Understand it. Learn from it.

The fact that every few months/weeks for the last like 10 years fans have gone "Taylor swift lied to us again :(" "swift is being a bigot again :(" "Taylor exploited our sympathy for money again :(" and that has not stopped the worship -look me in the eyes when I say this- swiffers, get a fucking grip and do better.

Look, i know that not all depictions of goblins are antisemitism but when the plot of your game is "race of beings who are heavily associated with international banking stage a revolution for the end of enslavement in order to cover up the fact that they are kidnapping children for dark magic rituals"

Like, you cant look me in the eye and tell me it doesnt ring some antisemitism alarm bells

Conspiracy theorists will claim they aren't antisemitic nor targeting Jews, and then:

Claim that Kabbalah is about dark magic/mind control.

Talk about how some so-and-so has a Jewish background but their ancestors changed their family name in the US.

Claim that Judaism itself was created by the global satanic conspiracy in order to deceive and mislead Jews away from the Truth.

Claim that wealthy Jewish families are part of the "satanic bloodlines."

Claim that said wealthy Jewish families are demonically possessed, or possessed by reptilian aliens; and that they have a genetic predisposition for such possession.

Claim said wealthy Jewish families aren't even real Jews because they're actually descended from Jewish converts, rather than genetically Jewish people.

Claim that Israelis are working to bring the Antichrist into power.

Use antisemitic dogwhistles like cultural marxists, bankers, Kabbalists, Talmudists, and Khazarian mafia.

Note that conspiracy theorists' current "acceptance" of everyday Jewish people is largely contingent on their belief that these Jews are potential converts to Christianity, New Age, or whatever they personally subscribe to. Once they stop seeing them as converts, they will almost certainly start calling for further marginalization and violence, because this is how it's always gone in the past.
