American Antisemitism and Ukraine

Senator Mike Lee Learned about NAFO

First, let me be clear. This is not surprising, but the last 72 hours on X, formerly Twitter, have been very revealing. We are at a critical moment in American politics. When rank antisemitism from American politicians or wanna-be politicians is mainstreamed, you know there is a problem.

This is also one of the fractures that Russian active measures are using. It’s mainstream within the MAGA movement. This is a movement taking over a once-honorable national party. Here is an essential qualifier. Not all Republicans are either isolationist or fascist. But all MAGA Republicans are.

So, let’s start with Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. She said this in the House, then repeated this slur on X. So here is what she said:

“Ukraine is one of the worst countries on the Earth for child sex trafficking and they’re harvesting children’s organs over there.”

Most observers have seen how abhorrent this comment is. Let me tell you, it’s far worse than most observers have conceded. This is blood libel, and it is highly antisemitic. This is also very common with the MAGA crowd, which has made pedophilia and child trafficking central to their form of fascism.
