Incentives in media and politics are turning outrage about Jews into a profitable system that rewards antisemitism, turning it into a vicious cycle at scale.
Vanessa, excellent point. That’s exactly what so many people miss — for many of these influencers and media personalities, outrage toward Jews or Israel has become a business model. It drives clicks, followers, subscriptions, donations, and attention.
People like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and others understand that controversy sells, and anti-Israel content has become incredibly profitable. They laugh all the way to the bank while helping normalize some very ugly ideas.
That’s what makes this so dangerous. We’re not just dealing with ideology anymore — we’re dealing with an incentive structure where outrage against Jews has become financially rewarding.
Our local paper has an Associated Press article talking about some terrorist group associated with the Taliban which has its base in Afghanistan near the border with Pakistan. The terrorists have been doing some incursions into Pakistan and killing people and doing what terrorist groups do.
The Pakistani government has responded the way governments respond to such things. Missile strikes, targeted response into Afghanistan, etc. Yesterday a missile from Pakistan reportedly hit a university, killing 7 and wounding 85. Pakistan denies this. There was a strike by Pakistan into Kabul on March 17 hitting a drug treatment facility, killing 400 civilians. The Afghan government calls the Pakistani strikes “war crimes” and violations of international law.
Now…………… have you seen any protests in the US or Europe at college campuses or elsewhere, accusing the Pakistanis of “genocide” or of any thing else at all? Even 1 protester with a single sign? Nada. Has the mayor of New York of any of the left wing or right wing politicians in the US spoken about this?
Isn’t that rather analogous to Hezbollah or Hamas doing cross border attacks into Israel, and Israel responding to try to target the terrorists, and unfortunately killing some civilians in the process?
I suppose the absence of protests has to do with the fact that the Pakistanis are not Jews.
Good article. There are people who will increase their output for money. There are established markets with lots of leftist money, especially from EU. And the deceptive art of framing clickbait is ever present.

Omar was right:it is all about the Benjamins. And it is her side that is all in on that quest
We live in a media bubble of our own making.
We are driven by history to be obsessed with this topic.
