No, Israel doesn’t run America
Shortly after being deposed by Republican primary voters last Tuesday, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) took a parting shot at his Jewish bugbear: “I would have come out sooner, but I had to call my opponent and concede, and it took a while to find Ed Gallrein in Tel Aviv.”
TL;DR
- Rep. Thomas Massie made antisemitic remarks after losing his primary election, referencing Israel and Tel Aviv.
- Massie previously framed his election as a 'referendum' on Israel buying seats in Congress.
- Similar arguments were echoed by others, alleging that Israel controls the U.S. government.
- The article asserts that these remarks are based on the antisemitic canard that Jews run the world.
- Massie's defeat is attributed to his conflicts with President Trump, not Israeli influence.
- Israel is prohibited from spending money in U.S. elections.
- Massie's district has few Jewish residents and a strong base of Trump supporters.
