Cenk Uygur Claims Being an Antisemite Means You're a Moral and Kind Person and WOW, That's STUPID

Cenk Uygur has taken it upon himself to single-handedly rewrite the dictionary, and wouldn’t you know it, “antisemite” now apparently just means “anyone who isn’t ready to treat a concert-stage political rant as the height of moral courage.”

After Macklemore turned his opening slot for Ed Sheeran into a “Free Palestine” moment and the Israeli American Council had the nerve to object, the Young Turks founder decided the real problem isn’t the slogan or the timing — it’s those “Zionist thugs” who still think the word has an actual definition.

In Cenk’s angry, antisemitic universe, demanding that Jews not be treated as the villains of every story is now fascism, while his own lecture on equality and justice is peak American virtue.

The man who named his show after a genocide and spent years dabbling in every conspiracy that pays the bills has appointed himself the last remaining voice of reason.

Naturally.

It's official - the word antisemite doesn't mean anything anymore. In fact, it more often means a very moral and kind person now. Because groups pretending be for Jewish-Americans, but who are actually Zionist thugs, use it on people who just say "Free Palestine."

... demanding you treat Palestinians as sub-human, like Zionists do. No, we are moral people who believe in equality and justice. That's at the core of being an American.
Now, they'll call you an antisemite if you don't agree to their fascist beliefs. If you think other people should not be enslaved by the Israelis, they say you're discriminating against Jews. No, that is a demand to be treated as the chosen race above others. It's the definition of fascism.
Until Jewish leaders denounce these Zionist thugs, who demand that we all love genocide and Israel's wars and treat Palestinians like they're inferior to Israelis, they have no credibility whatsoever on any issue of so-called discrimination.
