GREENBLATT:

What I really want is, whether it’s social media influencers on Twitch and YouTube like Hasan Piker, or other kind of promoters of hate on YouTube and Tik Tok like Guy Christensen, or like you know these speakers at these graduations it just happened the other day at MIT, spreading blood libels about the Jewish people or the Jewish state.

It creates the conditions in which this kind of act is happening with increasing frequency. We’ve got to stop it once and for all. I hope the Trump administration will do just that.

Jonathan conflates Judaism with Zionism, “Jewish people or the Jewish state”. He is lying when he says that anti-Zionists are attributing the actions of Israel with Judaism. Jonathan Greenblatt is doing the thing that he accuses others of doing.

    What’s he going to do? Fund a anti-fascist militant labour group? He’s shown no interest in doing so, so I don’t see him actually fighting the fascists in the streets. At best he’d be a good propaganda tool and that’s it, because that’s what he’s good at right now. He’s too comfortable doing what he’s doing, so I don’t see him fleeing.

      As you mention, he is a good propaganda tool. He also gave material support to the anti-Israel student encampments at UCLA and interviewed students from the encampment. He gives a media platform to many anti-Zionist voices that the mainstream media refuses to hear. Later today, Hasan is interviewing a surgeon who worked in Gaza. Like 2 weeks ago, he helped raise a large amount of funding for Drop Site News which directly interviews the leaders of Hamas to give Hamas leadership a voice in mainstream media.

      You recognize that he’s a good propaganda tool, so let him be that. Everyone always asks “Why doesn’t X person do more?”. Those same people never ask “Why don’t I do more?”. If you want there to be an anti-fascist labor group, why isn’t that a goal that you are working towards?
