(JEWISH GROUP) Tennessee GOP leaders denounce 'No wars for Jews' mailers bearing Young Republicans name

[Behind the Aegis]

A rural Tennessee region was rocked this week after thousands of homes received mailers encouraging them to join the local Young Republicans chapter with a campaign platform including “No wars for Jews.”

The flyers led to a dramatic showdown at a local GOP meeting, including a state lawmaker’s cry of “I am a Jew!” and a rejoinder from Austin Lee, the young man behind the flyers: “We will not fight wars for you.” Cops escorted the provocateur out.

“Let’s face it, we read about antisemitism and anti-Black or white nationalism, right?” the lawmaker, State Rep. Scott Cepicky, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “We hear about this stuff, and people are like, ‘Well, you know, that’s over there, or that’s in another state, that’s not here.’ Let me tell you something. It came to Maury County.”

The mailers, which encouraged recipients to “support” Lee, also said “Stop the Great Replacement” (a reference to the antisemitic Great Replacement Theory), “Ban Islam and Hinduism” and “Men in charge.”

1. Gee, and all this time it thought to be Democrats who hated Jews . . . . .

2. Oh yes, because the right does means the left doesn't.

This is the JEWISH GROUP!

3. Clarification: The MSM only reports transgressions by Democrats.

It's universal.

4. Bullshit! Antisemitism on the right has been posted by MSM on numerous occasions.

Some of those articles are here, in THE JEWISH GROUP.

Anti-Semitism is universal, as is the denying of it and mocking of it, even in JEWISH spaces!

5. and it is the one common thread that some on the left and right share. When a candidate

refuses to label a fire bombing attack against a Jewish group as antisemitic, or not so subtly refuse to condemn the October 7 attack, and actually tried to justify it, that speaks volumes.

I notice a commonality by those who were critical with the Black Lives Matter movement, especially after the George Floyd killing, by saying it should be "All LIves Matter" instead.

It is no different than refusing to call blatant attacks against Jews as antisemitic, with fancy words such as "I don't know what was in the heart of the perpetrator(s)".

It is just an example of bigotry by removing identity of the victim(s) from the equation.
