    What the actual… Saying that killing children is bad makes you an antisemite. Got it.

      No. Saying killing Palestinian children is bad makes you an antisemite.

      Remember… racism.

      Discrediting the intentions of the Israeli Government is now anti-semitic.

      Criticizing the Israeli government for any reason makes you an antisemite. Which means I must be antisemitic as fuck.

    I hope she wins. Nothing says “Don’t take me seriously” like pointing at the modern iteration of Sesame Street and screaming “Jew Hater!”

      Clearly the fact that she used words when she speaks is a reference to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

        Wasn’t it Hitler who said

        We must secure the existence of all people and a future for young children

        Or something near enough? They’re basically the same person.

      Not sure about the Sesame Street part. I swear I’ve seen images of her with Sesame Street characters.

        She’s got her own stable of stuffed animal Muppet knock-offs as part of the show. My toddler son is utterly hypnotized by it.

        I’m sure there’s been some kind of PBS / Ms Rachel crossover at some point. She’s also worked with Blippi and a few other notable bigger name YouTube kids show creators.

          Found a whole playlist of videos with “Elmo and Sesame Street”. Does Elmo have some kind of contract where he has to be credited separately when he makes appearances?

            Sesame Street licensing is crazy.

            Certainly possible that there’s a fully separate provision for using Elmo specifically, requiring separate credits.

              That article just list different licensees and different types of uses for a license that have occurred. I remember when Elmo was so popular that he outshined the rest of Street.

              My generation was the emo Elmo parody.

          All I really know is she is super popular. I saw an adult dress up as her for Halloween.

    Where does the guy who got on stage during a nationally televised event and did not one, but two Nazi salutes rank on this list?

        I’d like to nominate the ADL for the antisemite of the year awards.

    IIRC they do not reuse finalists, so since Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, and a bunch of other people were already finalists in previous years they do not use them again.

      Why not if it’s a yearly award?

      That still leaves many millions of people more antisemitic, surely
