Maybe. I think a lot of it unfortunately is motivated by actual antisemitism tbh. And also by misogyny. Basically “all the Islamophobic shit people say is true and that’s why the Muslims are the good guys unlike the liberal Jew”

Biggest example of this is Ted Cruz. None of these people care about Jews, they care about the State of Israel. They’re mad that a lot of young Republicans don’t like Israel anymore. That’s what they’re talking about when they talk about “authority figures” not stopping them.

This basically makes Clarence Thomas the Helen Andrews of Black people. Someone will have to tell me who the Leah Libresco-Sergeant is. Back in the day it was Ta-Nehisi Coates I think but he’s changed his views rather a lot.

That is to say, these are basically the same kind of view of the world (crude stereotyping about basically minor differences between people based on anecdotal experience, elevated to the level of principle).
