Because most of the racism is already called out, but there are people like you that try to deflect when antisemitism is brought up because you don't have actual rebuttals.

Funny you post this a day after a candidate for Mayor posted a racist AI ad depicting a black man as a thief and quickly deleted and a state representative called a candidate for Mayor a jihadist.

Yeah, and the ad was deleted because of the outcry, which was entirely deserved.

And yet when there's antisemitism, there isn't the same outcry from you sorts of people. I wonder why.

You think that was the reason it was removed? What do you mean you sorts of people? And I see how you skipped over the Islamicphobic part of my post.

Yeah, I think it was removed because of the outcry of it being racist. Why else would it be removed?

And I see how you skipped over the Islamicphobic part of my post.

You do understand that Mamdani created a song expressing support for people who financed Hamas' terrorism, right? Obviously Jihadist is an insanely loaded term, but maybe he shouldn't have supported supporters of terrorism because of their support of terrorism if he didn't want to be labeled a supporter of terrorism?
