(Jewish Group) Volodymyr Zelenskyy Is the Antisemites' New George Soros

Major media figures on the U.S. Right aren’t merely backing Putin, the white Christian savior, but attacking Zelenskyy as a 'globalist,' a threat to Ukraine and Western civilization. A familiar antisemitic narrative is undergoing a horrific expansion

"Racist enough for Fox News viewers to get the message but not so racist that The New York Times would have to acknowledge it."

That’s how The Nation correspondent Elie Mystal described the Republican attacks against Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson during her confirmation hearings in the Senate this week.

In other words, it’s a dog whistle – a clear call to racists that excites them to action without overtly announcing to outsiders what they are doing – but one just audible enough for the rest of us to detect.

A similar phenomenon is happening vis-à-vis the Jews, with a growing chorus of voices, primarily, but not exclusively, on the Right, attacking "globalists," "cosmopolitans," and "international bankers," all classic euphemisms for Jews, and claiming they threaten the nation’s strength and identity. This has grown especially pronounced since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
