At the White House Hanukkah celebration, Joe Biden said that: "Were there no Israel, there would not be a Jew in the world who is safe." Liberal Jews called these remarks anti-Semitic, as they seemed to imply that Jews are not equal, protected citizens in the countries that they reside in, including the United States. While Joe Biden offloaded America's own responsibilities to Israel, Elon Musk had an argument with the Anti-Defamation League over Elon Musk's complicity in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, such as the Great Replacement Theory, which he accused Jews of participating in. In this video, cultural critic and author Alex Sheremet of AUTOMACHINATION discusses Israeli propaganda on Jewish safety, whether or not Jews can truly "belong" to their nation-states, and other anti-Semitic tropes.
