Earlier this year, I exposed an “anti-Israel” influencer called Rathbone, who was making fun of Israeli Jews running to shelters while rockets rain down on Israel. In a turn of events that should surprise absolute nobody, he was dabbling in antisemitism, using antisemitic dog whistles.
Rathbone has since graduated from dog whistles to Nazi trumpets:
Even some of his allies realize he totally crossed the line:
Alas, these people are only afraid their cause will be damaged. This does not merely hurt their movement – it is their movement. And I have tens of thousands of other examples to prove this, including other comments to Rathbone’s antisemitic post. Not to mention the relative number of likes these comments attract as opposed to those castigating him for antisemitism:
Rathbone’s descent from goose to goose-stepper isn’t a deviation – it’s an unmasking.
