    This is the real battle that should be fought against antisemitism. Not random symbols that people have used for decades to mean completely innocent things. Someone who would heil multiple times on public TV and openly post and share hatred on major platforms.

    It’s a shame the ADL refused to call him what he is when it mattered: a nazi.

      Musk doesn’t fit the ADL’s definition of anti-semite, which is anyone who opposes the State of Israel.

        Do you also blame black Americans for conflicts in Africa? Or do you only do only blame an entire ethnicity for conflicts on the other side of the world when it’s Jews?

          Well I’m not the ADL but yeah I’d say if, for instance, the NAACP decided that anti-black racism was equal to criticism of, say, Zimbabwe. And as long as a billionaire supported Zimbabwe’s government it’d be fine if he threw the white power sign at the presidential inauguration. That’s basically what you have with the ADL.

    Non-jewish people should follow. Musk is bad for 99% of us.

      Did you bother checking? You seem very eager for them to STFU.

      Just the first one in the list is Rabbi Rachel Barenblat who has been vocal regarding the atrocities Palestine has been suffering. Many others are part of jewish voice for peace. https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/rabbinical-council/

      The whole list is in https://www.xouthate.org in case there is a little chance you actually care.

      Holy Whataboutism Batman!

      It’s actually okay to say that they’re right on some topics and wrong on others.

        It isn’t whataboutism. I’m not listening to anything supporters of genocide have to say. They can’t decide genocide is only bad if it happens to them.
