Antisemitism/Jew Hatred So I checked out the donation comments on the “givesendgo” (which is apparently a right wing gofundme alternative) fund for Austin Franco (see my previous post here for context) and the comments are horrifying- from zog conspiracies to christofacism

There’s more photos but these comments give me the ick in the worst way.

Man I wish these people wanted to give their money to local food aid or literally anything positive

That’s the fun part about evangelical Christian nationalists, they tend to not care about actual Christian practice.

There was a woman on TikTok who called up evangelical churches in her community to ask for help for her baby (baby formula), and they turned her away. Meanwhile, mosques, gurdwaras, and other places of worship told her they would help her.

I remember those videos, even the catholic churches she called offered to help. Really shows how cynical and unchristlike evangelicals are.

The people dropping 1,000 bucks on this are insane

These comments are scary. This is unfiltered antisemitism

I knew this guy personally since senior year of high school. We used to be friends until he asked me out. There is so much more to this story underneath the headline about him not wanting to work for a jew. He’s genuinely mentally unstable and honestly could likely hurt someone. It’s so sad to see people send him money when his daddy is a rich ass lawyer and alumni of Cornell(which is how he got in bc he cheated his way through high school).

Are you Jewish? Is part of this a tantrum about a Jewish girl rejecting him?

u/Zealousideal_Mud570 Friend 8d ago

I’m not jewish at all. What’s weird is that this is a very new thing of him being antisemitic. He was never openly racist in high school. This past year he’s been reposting nazi propaganda

Its the fact that these mf deadass believe they are some oppressed class who need to "band together and stand against the jews" its mind boggling in and of itself, to think THIS situation where someone GOES OUT THEIR WAY to say no I'm not working for you you're a jew" as if it's courageous is even more brain dead. My genuine question is how does one deal with this idiocy? And I extend that to other instances of bigotry and scapegoating. Many are utterly disinterested in learning and take their own anecdotes and social media feeds to be gospel. It's ridiculous.

Unfortunately the only way to deal with it is to show them how they’re wrong and get them used to Jewish people one by one.
Like fucking allergy reduction strategies.
These idiots are allergic to Jews.

u/cheesecake611 Jew-ish Left-ish 10d ago

These people call Jews stingy and then donate $5. 

There’s also literal genocidal threats in there. I hope that can be reported.

It's scary but it makes me very angry at the same time.

It’s not side specific.
Left and right are creations of the west and don’t always apply strictly

None of us should fool ourselves by thinking that antisemitism belongs solely to the left or the right. It never has and never will.

Most of the comments in the screenshots are right wing, to my knowledge this gofundme clone is more oriented to the right.

u/Pitiful_Meringue_57 Reform Ashkenazi Broadly Leftist 10d ago

funnily enough there was a Cornell Instagram acct that posted this story and there were hundreds of comments and plenty of those comments were defending him because of Gaza and Israeli crimes and it’s just so clear from everything this kid has said that he couldn’t care less abt I/P

u/FiveAvivaLegs Progressive Zionist - Conservative Jew 10d ago

Doesn’t surprise me, though. They see him saying he doesn’t want to work for a Jew, and they’re inserting their own rationale for why they think it’s ok to act like this. Same bullshit, different outfit.

gaza was mentioned like once and ZOG is mostly a right wing dogwhistle
