Marjorie Taylor Greene pounds the press into submission

   I agree with you.
   However, I have to say that Jews are making a grave error by condemning her and fighting against her because this only proves to her and others like her (who may number in tens of millions in the US alone) that she is perfectly correct, and there IS a worldwide Jewish conspiracy as per The Protocols, etc.
   In a way, Jews are damned if they do and damned if they don’t (what else is new!)
   Antisemitism is making itself apparent more and more BOTH on the Left and the Right (the Quartet and Greene as examples), and and it will keep raising its head.
   The US is now a Weimar Republic and its Jews will not come to their senses until they are told to put a yellow six-pointed star on their anti-virus muzzles and told to not leave their home without it.
   And maybe not even then.

   Hi Bear,

   I have not seen any conservative Jewish groups attacking Greene on the claims of antisemitism as is claimed in the TOI article you cited. I also noticed that the author of that article, decided not to cite the specific statements of Greene that were so offensively antisemitic.. The criticism noted in regards to the now infamous “Jewish Lasers” story is, as far as antisemitic remarks go, quite benign. She was questioning the use of public funds for PG&E on which the vice-chairman(as I recall) of Rothschilds sat. I do not find that her statement is any different than what people routinely hypothesize – trying to relate bizarre coincident occurrences as being significant.Specifically, she was trying to relate the citing of beams of light in the night sky with the rampant unexplained presence of forest fires in California. If this is the limit of the basis of excoriation that has been leveled against her, I believe it is unfair. Further, TOI is a routine critic for anything MAGA which leads me to question which is the right wing Jewish group criticizing her and exact what are the statements are they so outraged about. Trump supports her. She supports Israel, Jews, and MAGA.

   Greene is not an antisemite. She NEVER used the term “Jewish space lasers” nor did she accuse Rothschild family of starting wildfires. Read her post. She has disavowed & apologized for her past views.
   She supports Israel, supported the Abraham Accords and opposes the Iran deal. Judge her by her comments/action as a member of Congress.

   She has been reported to have numerous anti Semitic comments over time.

   Jewish groups blast Marjorie Taylor Greene; her response: ‘I’ll never back down’
   After congresswoman blames ‘Jewish space lasers’ for California wildfires,

   Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Republican congresswoman who has advanced a range of dangerous conspiracy theories, including some that are explicitly anti-Semitic, is refusing to step down or even apologize, despite increasingly fierce criticism from Jewish groups and others.

   Among Greene’s critics are right-wing and centrist Jewish groups that do not frequently criticize Republican lawmakers or elected officials at all.

   “I will never back down,” Greene said in a defiant statement Friday afternoon, one day after revelations of one of her conspiracy theory-filled Facebook posts from 2018 thrust the term “Jewish space lasers” into public discourse.

   In the post, the freshman congresswoman from Georgia theorized that the Rothschild family was involved in starting California wildfires using lasers from space. Invoking conspiratorial control by the Rothschild banking family over world events is a centuries-old anti-Semitic stereotype, and it is also a theme in the pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy theory that Greene has promoted.

   On Friday, the Republican Jewish Coalition released a statement condemning Greene and saying that it is “working closely with the House Republican leadership regarding next steps” in demonstrating that Greene is “far outside the mainstream of the Republican Party.”

   Greene is reprehensible period! Yes some right wingers who have lost their moral bearings perhaps because of the culture war between the right and left do not realize that sticking up for GOP members who are anti-Semites means you are losing the war and the plot!

   Ted do you care? that Greene is an outright anti-Semite she approved of a tweet that said the Mossad was responsible for killing JFK.

   That doesn’t make her an antisemite. Besides she acknowledged her error prio0r to this video and said so in this video.
   I just posted a left wing article cri9tical of her. Read it and my preface to it.

7. They didn’t listen to a word she said. Deaf (and dumb).

8. Ted do you care? that Greene is an outright anti-Semite she approved of a tweet that said the Mossad was responsible for killing JFK. The GOP should be embarrassed that she is a member of the party. This is just one more example of her anti-Semitism.
