The most influential promoter of antisemitism in the United States isn’t Elon Musk, who appeared to Sieg heil at Trump’s inauguration; nor is it Kanye West, who famously tweeted that he loved Hitler, or the podcaster Candace Owens, who has promoted the blood-libel conspiracy theory. The pro-Israel lobbying organization Stop Antisemitism wants you to believe the real danger is actually a lady in overalls and a pink headband who sings about how bubble gum is sticky.

The organization that has spent the past year and a half publicly identifying pro-Palestine protesters is now coming after Ms. Rachel, a beloved YouTuber known for her videos for babies and toddlers. In a letter posted to social media on Monday, StopAntisemitism asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate whether Ms. Rachel is “being funded by a foreign party to push anti-Israel propaganda to skew public opinion” and referred to her as an “amplifier” of pro-Hamas content.

    feels like Stop Antisemitism is really underrated in the “most evil domestic Zionist organization” department right now, this is literally a McCarthyist tactic

      It’s a tight race, the ADL straight up defended a Nazi solute (that was repeated for emphasis). They never took back that support either, merely regretted the “framing”.

      He kind of did. He shared resting feet in a wading pool with a black man when public pools (read: all pools) in the US were segregated. I wasn’t old enough to recall that happening in the moment, but I guarantee he got a rash of hate mail over it.
