lookninjas: solacekames: reincepriebus: this really just happened. in 2017. So the clear implication is that Sean Spicer didn’t believe the primarily Jewish victims of the Holocaust were “his own people”. So what Hitler did wasn’t as bad as gassing white Christian Germans?!?! For anyone who wasn’t previously aware, this is actually a really really common thing for anti-semites to say. Jewish people are considered to be unassimilated, inherently foreign. They are not really American, or German, or French, or whatever. Their citizenship is seen as being wholly on paper; their real nationality is considered to be Zionist. (And this – although we are talking about Sean Spicer right now – is true on both the left and the right, so please don’t give people a pass for this behavior if the rest of their politics are aligned with yours; it is anti-semitism no matter who does it. For the love of God, don’t let it slide.) So if you’re hearing dog-whistles right now, that’s because the White House is blowing them. -- source link
