“Don’t stand with bigots”. Seth Dillon on anti-antisemitism

 

A long video, but an important one. Seth Dillon talks about the challenges of resisting Antisemitism which I prefer to call “Jew hatred”. The massive rise of Jew hatred on the far right and its long-time existence on the Left. The importance of standing for the Good and the True. Of resisting “the narrative”, the narrative of the Jews being uniquely perfidious, uniquely the cause of all world problems, all world wars.

Seth is a good and true man himself, very eloquent. He says the issue is not that Israel is untouchable, that, as the Narrative claims, “you can’t criticise Israel” because it has power over Washington. The opposite is the case. If you criticise the narrative, criticise the Jew haters, that’s when you get the vicious pushback and death threats. You can build a flourishing business off Jew hatred, says Seth. Thin on that. 

I stand with Israel and the Jewish people. 

ADDED: Seth talks a lot about Free Speech. It was his company, The Babylon Bee, a conservative Christian parody website, that was banned on the then Twitter and which prompted Elon Musk into buying it for 44 Billion, to open it to free speech and rename it "X". Which people seem to have got used to.
