Obsessive anti-Jewish hatred, and the demonization of Israel, a.k.a., rabid anti-Semitism is something against which all people with an intact conscience need to firmly stand, whether here on OPP, or anywhere else in the world.
I applaud kemmer for opposing such insidious behavior, rather than ignoring it... and for saying so openly without resorting to the use of cult-like buzzwords: "change agents" - "deceivers" - "ZOG" as anti-Semites themselves do.
ZOG is a white supremacist acronym for "Zionist Occupied Government," which reflects the common white supremacist belief that the U.S. government is controlled by Jews... words that are intended to create suspicion, if not downright hatred, and always with the intent to divide. This has resulted in white supremacist slogans such as "Smash ZOG," "Kill ZOG, or "Death to ZOG."
INSIDIOUS (adjective):
1) Working or spreading harmfully in a subtle or stealthy manner.
2) Intended to entrap; treacherous.
3) Beguiling but harmful; alluring.

It isn't kemmer who is spreading the disinformation by which Jews have been presented throughout history as the scourge of humanity, which is commonly expressed in terms of threats to religion, science, power, dominant ethnic groups, nation-states, and currently, as threats to "human rights and racial justice."
With the advent of social media, these ancient, 'viral' conspiracy themes are able to spread on the internet more quickly, and with less effort, than at any previous point in history.
Studies on anti-Semitism show how the hatred is largely expressed by using code words rather than explicitly mentioning the Jewish people: Rather than writing about the Jews as a whole, online anti-Semites target well known individuals like George Soros or the Rothschild family; place three parentheses around names of people who are Jewish or, ostensibly, controlled by "devious Jews;" or apply age-old Jewish smears such as the matzah blood libel to the entire State of Israel.
Anti-Semitic tropes have become a common animating feature among online, prejudiced, hatred filled extremist activists who tend to peak during tense moments, as at present in the United States - created by wars and rumors of war.

Maybe Hitler was on to something. I know I am.
kemmer's consistent prevarication would seem to support the idea that Hitler was on to something big involving evil Jews--and we just had a kemmer post which distinguished "evil jews" from good Jews.
