Bouvard on Anti-Jewish Rhetoric and Israel Criticism
The strategy of flooding the zone with wild accusations against Jews and then accusing Jews of being obsessed with Israel when they point this out seems to have been an effective one, but only in the short term. In the end, accusing Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, and others of being
solely concerned with Israel even though references to Israel constitutes a very small portion of their content comes up against realities anyone can examine for themselves. The same with calling Jews bloodsuckers, or whatever, and then complaining that you're not allowed to
"criticize Israel." The success of this strategy depended on free-riding leftist lies about Israeli conduct in Gaza, but now that's pretty much over so what's left? Stupid Nazi and old European stuff and... Jews burning down Argentina to create new ethnostates. But a lot of this
stuff is still lying around, fairly close to some prominent political figures, no doubt archived and ready for strategically determined use. Only those who can prioritize civilizational questions over score settling with Jews will survive the necessary filtering because they will
be the only ones with workable models of reality. If you look closely at what is attributed (accurately or not I can't tell) to based, antisemitic Zoomers it is always the worst slop that will dissolve upon any contact with real decision making. There are incentives for pandering
to this stuff but anyone thinking in terms of long-term power dynamics will have to resist, correct and redirect it if anything of Trump's project is to endure.
@Imperius__13 35% of Levin’s content on his radio show over the last 20 years has been Israel?
@Imperius__13 “Obsession” with Israel would obviously have increased since 10/7/23 so to make the case to my satisfaction we’d have to go back much further.
@Imperius__13 But you said the past few years.
@Imperius__13 Then it seems to me there is nothing approaching "obsession" pre-Oct. 7.
@Imperius__13 My point is that saying someone is "obsessed" with Israel because they've spoken about it a lot more since Oct. 7 is like saying someone is obsessed with Germany because they spoke about it a lot between 1942-1945. It's obviously baiting.
@Imperius__13 Yes, and the beginning of this exchange was me pointing out how disingenuous it was for Carlson, Kelly, etc., to charge Levin/Shapiro with caring only about Israel, etc. They took the post-Oct. 7 situation and the follow-up attacks coming from their own side as the base.
@Imperius__13 She's the one I'm primarily referring to. She explicitly said that she came to realize that for some people (referring specifically to Levin and Shapiro) everything revolves around Israel. This was a smear.
@Imperius__13 I'm not involved in forming alliances, placating people, etc. Megyn Kelly will never know of anything I say about her. So, I just say what I see and think. But acting emotionally was not wise on her part, I think.
