BLM founder: Right-wing pro-Israel activists will cast Harris as antisemitic
Right-wing, pro-Israel activists will attempt to discredit Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential candidacy by accusing her of antisemitism, Jewish writer Elad Nehorai and Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors said in an Instagram post on Sunday.
Nehorai and Cullors argued in a social media cross-post that they anticipate Harris will face a significant amount of hate speech due to her status as a Black woman married to a Jewish man.
“No group is more falsely accused of antisemitism than Black women,” Nehorai and Cullors said. “People will believe a Black woman married to a Jewish man is antisemitic before they will be [sic] a former president who spreads antisemitic conspiracy theories and supports neo-Nazis is one.”
----
They predicted that Harris would be subject to antisemitic conspiracy theories, such as being a puppet of her husband or the Soros family. According to Nehorai, some of these theories are already circulating, noting that X owner Elon Musk responded to Open Society Chair Alex Soros’s endorsement of Harris by thanking him for “not keeping everyone in suspense about who the next puppet will be.”

I disagree with the assertion in paragraph three, but, yeah, buckle up, especially those not familiar with having to actually confront anti-Semitism in a meaningful way, because this shitstorm is coming!
