Tablet Mag Goes Full Antisemite

With the news of Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein’s fall from grace clogging the news cycle, it was only a matter of time before we would see antisemitic articles stressing the fact he is Jewish, and somehow connecting it to his despicable behavior.

And none is worse than this article from Neo Nazi site The Daily Stormer.

Excerpt:

At first squint, Harvey Weinstein seems like a very familiar type. Isn’t he the old, same old, another rich, entitled, powerful man with a bad dye job abusing his might to coerce women into sex? Isn’t Harvey just like Roger Ailes, or Bill O’Reilly, or, for that matter, Bill Clinton? But look at the details of the case and you’ll see that the answer is no. Harvey is different. Harvey, sadly, is a deeply Jewish kind of pervert.

As despicable as you may find Ailes, O’Reilly, and the other grabby goyim, you’ll recognize their behavior fits a pattern as old as time itself, as trite as Fox’s complaints about the “war on Christmas”: Men crave sex, and the worst of them will obtain it by whatever means necessary. These despicable gents have power and influence, and they aren’t above promising a lucrative gig—or threatening to take it away—to get laid. In these transactions, women are nothing but objects, and any “consent” is just an illusion. Morally, the men are no better than the pimps who crowd into James Franco’s character’s bar on The Deuce, the new HBO show; psychologically, they are no more complex than the johns. Cash in, cum out. The women are collateral damage.

Only it was not really from The Daily Stormer. It is from Tablet Mag, an American-Jewish publication.

What makes this even more infuriating is I have always found Tablet to be proudly Jewish. We are not speaking about the Jewish Forward or Ha’aretz here, which are constantly providing grist for the antisemites’ mill. In fact, one of its writers, Yair Rosenberg, constantly writes about antisemitism and describes himself on Twitter as a “troller of Nazis.”

This article will no doubt be spread far and wide by the same Jew haters Yair Rosenberg likes to write about and troll. I call on the managing editor of Tablet to remove the article immediately and issue an apology to its readers and Jews everywhere.

They may also want to reconsider the employment of the author of this vile piece, Mark Oppenheimer.

Update: Yup, as predicted.

  1. Oh, for the Love of Life Orchestra. When anyone else does something despicable, he’s just a nasty loser; but when a Jew does the same all-too-typical transgression, it descends to a level of unthinkable cosmic EEE-vil. And it’s other Jews making the accusation. It’s the ironic fallout of the fact that we think VERY highly of ourselves, and collaterally, too many of us (who often like to become crusading journalists and public intellectuals) are likely to disdain the rest of the world. Sadly, the antisemites are often right about that.

    1. I don’t think he was suggesting “evil”, I think he meant a deeper level of “messed up”. The first thing I thought of was the Woody Allen movies – little Jewish Woody Allen opposite tall gentile goddess, with the image of his Jewish mother guilting him above his head.

  2. The author of the Tablet article, Mark Oppenheimer, is described as “Tablet’s editor at large”. I suppose that means he has some editorial control over the content of Tablet.

  3. Abhorrent as the article is, (and easily something that could be found on any neo-Nazi site) it could very well be tongue-in-cheek. Tablet is much better than this; this may be nothing more than a poor attempt at being ironic given the political climate and rise of antisemitism today.

  4. “A deeply Jewish kind of pervert”? WTF?

    The author printed an apology the next day. I get the sense that he thought he was writing for an exclusively Jewish audience, you know, like telling a funny Jewish joke among your Jewish friends, that would definitely be antisemitic if told by a non Jewish person. (No, I don’t mean that this article was funny.)

    After reading the whole article, I get where he was going with this, the idea that it wasn’t just predatory power and conquest, that there is an element of a deep seated, centuries old, inferiority complex. This would be like the Jew buying the country club that didn’t allow entry to Jews. I get it, but it’s still gross.

    1. Whatever Oppenheimer feels sorry for and whatever misconceptions he had, the fact that not only Jews read Tablet Mag was not one of them.

      1. I realise that. And as I said, it is gross. I meant that to me, it reads like he is targeting his musings to an audience who would “get it”, as opposed to a general public. It’s like everyone else is thinking of the fact that the guy is Jewish, but isn’t able to bring it up, because that would be antisemitic, that him being Jewish has nothing to do with it. And this Oppenheimer thinks he’s found a different angle. The point wasn’t to sound antisemitic, it was to explore how being Jewish was connected a subconscious way. Only there was no need for this discussion, and he really should have read it back to himself before pressing send.

  5. The author was so proud to come up with his oh-so clever invocation of Phillip Roth’s Portnoy’s Complaint that it blinded him to the fact that his clever article will be forever cited as proof that Weinstein sexually harassed and assaulted women BECAUSE he is a Jew.

    And by publishing this clever analysis, Tablet, a Jewish magazine, has authoritatively confirmed that Jews are inherently perverts who lust for/hate gentile women.

  6. It’s so all over the news, but most articles have stayed well away from mentioning Weinstein’s Jewish heritage. Does anyone else feel like it’s like that scene in Austin Powers with Mike Myers and Fred Savage with that mole – moley, moley, mole…? Like, don’t mention Jewish….

      Yeah I agree with your analysis. Oppenheimer felt the need to mention Weinstein’s Jewishness, not only because everybody else was ignoring it, but because in some misguided way he felt the need to preempt the anti-Semites, but does so by uh falling into an anti-Semitic trap. Harvey is Jewish, Harvey is a pervert, true enough, but then in attempting to psychoanalyze Harvey, and that means getting into his Jewish psyche and the nature of how Weinstein is ‘messed up’ in a uniquely Jewish way, the two were unwittingly conflated by Mark.

      1. Perhaps Mark can write a follow-up, psychoanalyzing why Bill Cosby’s uniquely black perviness led him to target countless white women. I’m sure that article will be well-received.

  7. These morons have obviously never heard of Jian Ghomeshi and Bill Cosby, two celebrities who fell from grace thanks to their proclivities. And guess what?

    Neither of them were Jewish…

  8. But isn’t that the point? Tablet mainly supports Israel and Jews in general. There is no money to be made in that. “This article will no doubt be spread far and wide by the same Jew haters Yair Rosenberg likes to write about and troll”. Meaning it will get big coverage and introduce Tablet to many who never heard of it.
    Welcome to the “New News”, It is unfortunate but this is an example of the power of Jew hate and bad news in general.
    You need to ask yourself, why is bad news so popular? It’s because it sells. Positive stories don’t.
    We are all complicit. No one wants to pay for good journalism. News outlets can’t survive or attract advertisers under the present business models. That is why they make stuff up. The problem is that most idiots believe it’s news and not entertainment.
