Antisemitism flares and ‘Reichstag’ mentions soar online in wake of Charlie Kirk assassination
No alleged shooter has yet been identified in the assassination Wednesday of right-wing icon Charlie Kirk. But President Donald Trump is blaming the left and vowing vengeance, while antisemitism is flaring among extremists online who said they believed the Jews and Israel were responsible.
“Charlie Kirk was assassinated by jews,” tweeted an account called Greatest Noticer, whose username is an apparent allusion to a neo-Nazi watchword.
“The same people who called Charlie Kirk a ‘tool of the Jews,’ are now saying that the Mossad assassinated him,” tweeted Eyal Yakoby, an influencer who rose to prominence as a critic of antisemitism at his university. “These are sick people who will exploit a tragedy to pursue their own demonic agenda.”
Meanwhile, the situation has people across the political spectrum wondering whether Kirk’s assassination could be a “Reichstag moment,” a reference to the 1933 fire at the German parliament building that the Nazis used as a pretext to ramp up their repression of communists and ultimately their persecution and murder of Jews. (Historians have concluded that the fire was an inside job.)
“Charlie Kirk being assassinated is the American Reichstag fire,” tweeted a far-right personality named Matt Forney who boasts of having been banned from X before Musk’s takeover. “It is time for a complete crackdown on the left. Every Democratic politician must be arrested and the party banned under RICO. Every libtard commentator must be shut down.”
For those who are a bit ignorant of history - the Reichstag Fire in 1933 that may have been set by a Nazi, was then used as an excuse for Hitler to impose new restrictions of certain segments of the German people. Conspiracy nutters are arguing online that it was either Israel's Mossad who killed Kirk or some Jewish terror group, OR that the killing was carried out by a right-wing organization for an excuse to penalize those lefties who don't like DJT.
The owner of a private jet that left Provo about an hour after Kirk was shot has denied claims that the shooter had flown on the plane to Arizona or Mexico. Why then did the plane shut down it's Automatic Dependent Surveillance- Broadcast (ADS-B), which provides positioning information between the aircraft and air traffic control as it crossed the border into Arizona?
American Right Vows Vengeance
Liberals had “blood on their hands”, one prominent influencer wrote. The left was the “party of murder”, said Elon Musk. Every Democratic politician “must be arrested and the party banned”, one blogger opined.
Any hopes that the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk would usher in a mood of quiet reflection in US politics were quickly dispelled in the hours after his death, as the rightwing blogosphere seethed with demands for vengeance and retribution.
Some now fear President Donald Trump, already pushing the limits of executive power, could use Kirk’s killing as a pretext for a crackdown on the American left.
And being an idiot comes naturally to an already emotionally unstable Maga.Leftists don't' need a reason to be antisemites. They just do it naturally.

Canaduh has an opinion. Lol. The cool aid is strong with this one.
Antisemitism has moved from the right to the left in the US − and falls back on long-standing stereotypes
Antisemitism in the US is growing – and that growth appears to be related to the escalation of the conflict between Israel and Hamas. It also reflects a different political ideology than in the past.theconversation.com

Even leftist wiki has documented it.
Harvard, Columbia, UCLA. The Squad, Hollywood etc etc. Its why they chose clown Walz instead of a competent and more popular Shapiro. The liberal base hates jews.

More like some RIghties don't need a reason to be antisemites while at the same time supporting Israel as it is committing genocide against those Muslim types. Because they KNOW that American Jews are just another group of 'libruls' who hate the true Christian America.
"More like....." .Good response. Brilliant.
