Amid a crisis of trust in America, marked by the proliferation of manufactured news, tainted AI, and apocryphal social media populated by bots (up to 50% of posts), along with purchased likes and retweets, media consumers are deeply skeptical. According to a recent poll, only 38% believe the three assassination attempts on Trump were genuine.
Believing the unbelievable about Jews is another story. When the gray lady of ill repute reports a whooper that defies belief: that Israel trained dogs to rape Palestinians, released on the very day the results of a two-year investigation into the weaponization of sex during the October 7th Massacre were published, readers believe it.
Stories that strain credulity or reinforce hateful stereotypes against Jews are embraced with celerity. The murder of Paul Kessler is chalked up to a brain tumor, and his assassin walks away with probation. Dr. Sarah Halimi’s executioner is facilely deemed “not criminally responsible.” Cries for intifada are transmogrified into legitimate acts of resistance. Statistics showing precipitous increases in antisemitic acts are drowned out amid declarations of “Islamophobia.” Reality is inverted to denounce Israelis for starving fat Palestinians to death and slaughtering their “civilians” on a scale more massive than on October 7th.
Fake news? Not when it comes to Jews.
