What’s an antisemitic dog whistle :0?

dare-i-say-asexual

Examples of antisemitic dogwhistles are:

- the use of (((triple parentheses))) which represent perceived Jewish involvement in mass media, mass immigration, and global Zionism.

- calling ppl (specifically Jewish people) lizard people, aliens, etc. All of these lead back to antisemitic conspiracy theories.

-“New York Values” which due to New York’s large number of Jewish residents is used as a stand in for saying Jewish values or interests.

-using the names of well known Jewish people as shorthand for anti-government conspiracies, control over the population, etc.

- references to nameless, mysterious “elites” with no specifics given to who they are. Also references to a “new world order.” Both of these dogwhistles are tied to conspiracies that claim a shadowy group of powerful Jewish people are controlling the world.

-any and all of the above antisemitic dogwhistles combined with invoking blood libel (which refers to the allegation that Jews used the blood of non-Jewish, usually Christian children, for ritual purposes.) Example: Someone saying that mysterious, wealthy elites are trying to drink/consume the blood of kidnapped youth.

This isn’t everything but these seem to be the dogwhistles tumblr is too stupid to stop spreading. If you want to read more about this I’ll include some links.
