Did Steve Bannon sick his anti-semitic dogs on Jared Kushner and what will Chump do about it?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

An online campaign of anti-Semitism has been directed at Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and advisor over the past week. It comes in the context of Trump’s removal of chief strategist Stephen Bannon from the National Security Council and reports about a feud between Bannon and Kushner as well as airstrikes in Syria in response to the chemical attack last week.
This campaign of anti-Semitism has been driven by white supremacists and anti-Semites and has all the hallmarks of classic Jewish conspiracy theories. The narratives include accusations that Jews in the Trump Administration are trying to start a war to advance the interests of Israel. They contend that Trump has abandoned his “America First” policy, which the alt right supported, because he is being manipulated by Kushner and other Jewish advisors.
The anti-Semitic social media campaign, which features hashtags on Twitter such as #firekushner, #kushneratwar, #kushnerswar, appears to have begun on April 5 with a few tweets describing the administration’s actions as a betrayal alongside the #firekushner hashtag.

1. Good

I don't have a problem with the chaos in Trump's administration. He's a lousy boss and he's thoroughly unprepared and unsuited for the office. The more internal strife his team has, the less cohesiveness they'll have making it less likely they'll do something big and terrible.

Trump is a clear and present danger to our nation and the world. The more trouble he has, the better we'll all be.

I hope.

2. I would say yes. And I think Spicer's "gaffes" were talking points given to him by Bannon

with the intent of reaching out to his anti-semitic, white supremacist base and to stick Jared in the eye on Passover.

3. No doubt about it.

The thing is this likely falls under "good anti-Semitism", that is to say when it is directed at conservative or Republican Jews, or liberal Jews who haven't learned their place on the left, then anti-Semitism is seen as "acceptable, even necessary."

5. Bannon and Kushner Feud Brings anti-Semitism Out of Hiding

Media reports of a feud between Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner have triggered what seems to be a new wave of anti-Semitism among far rightists in the United States.


Since President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January, the leaders of the “alt-right” white nationalist movement had carefully avoiding the subject of his Jewish son-in-law Kushner, the conversion of his daughter Ivanka or the presence of Jewish members in key positions on the White House staff. There was also little mention of the burgeoning relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Indeed, Ivanka Trump’s conversion no longer seemed to be off limits. “When#Kushner forced Ivanka to convert to Judaism, he indicated his loyalty to Judaism was greater than his loyalty to America” was one recent social media comment.


Ivanka Trump was also accused of being behind Trump’s decision to launch the Syrian attack. “It’s them, it’s them – it’s his daughter and son-in-law who are literally enemies of the republic! I can’t help it, I’m just gonna lay it all out there,” raved Alex Jones on his far-right radio show “Infowars.” One of Trump’s most avid media supporters complained that the president has been “infiltrated by his own family” and is on “autopilot.” He also referred to Kushner as “President Kushner.”

“We don’t need Jared Kushner leading us into another disastrous war in the Middle East for the benefit of Israel,” wrote Trump supporter Pamela Moore, while the far-right activist Baked Alaska – a prominent Trump supporter on Twitter with 155,000 followers – wrote, “We must #KeepBannon & #FireKushner, we voted for America First, not nation building in the Middle East. Period.”
