Because utilising anti-Semitism directly would not succeed in this country today, the reactionary defenders of the economic status quo are using the flip side of the coin: The fear of being labeled anti-Semitic. They are accusing Occupy Wall Street of anti-Semitism, relying on the old myth that Wall Street is Jewish and hence that opposition to Wall Street's agenda is just opposition to Jews.Blublood brought this up in another post a few hours ago so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I told him I could find people at Occupy gatherings who blame aliens so I don't see that you can decide OWS=anti-seminitism

LIVESTREAMING RIGHT NOW

Conservatives give a shit about actual anti-semitism?

They really need to review their history.

wait what's going on in that poster???

The caption on the bottom says "The meaning of the Hitler salute"
The one in the picture can be loosely translated as "Millions back me up" (literally it's "millions stand behind me", but afa my English sense goes, that doesn't really carry the double meaning of 'millions' referring to people/monetary backing)

hah. The left part looks like the Nazi anti-Jewish propaganda posters, and then the right part is Hitler looking so small. Would he ever portray himself like that? I was like WTF... is this like a WWII poster of the 'Hitler was actually Jewish' conspiracy?

It's complete and total bull shit because these so called pro-Israel conservatives are the same ones who support the Koch brothers, who do business with Iran.

They need a perpetual war there to bring about the apocalypse.
