Israel-Bashing Group Recent Propaganda Video Is One Giant Misrepresentation
On Monday, NowThis tweeted out a video from far-Left, viciously anti-Israel propagandist group IfNotNow. IfNotNow, which Republican Jewish Coalition Matt Brooks castigated last weekend as a “disgrace” that “in no way speaks for the Jewish community,” ventured last week to the congressional office of noted anti-Semitic conspiracy peddler Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).
Dear @IfNotNowOrg: You make me feel seen, heard and loved. Thank you for coming over to our #13thDistrictStrong office today to show your support. I am so humbled to have your partnership in serving my residents.

NowThis tweeted out its IfNotNow propaganda video, which features IfNotNow Founder Emily Mayer, only two days after Tlaib’s tweet. And suffice it to say that the video is…a doozy.

Mayer claims that the “real threat to us Jews” comes not from progressives, but from President Trump and white nationalists. While no one should ever downplay the horrific atrocities considered by white nationalists — including that upon Jews just last October at Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh — Mayer may want to check her overall statistics. As The Daily Wire reported on February 1, Fiamma Nirenstein of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs recently reviewed surveys of European Jewry and noted the following discrepancy in perceived anti-Semitism between Jews in the generally Left-leaning nations of Western Europe and the generally Right-leaning nations of Eastern Europe:
The [European] Jews who have felt the rise of anti-Semitism the most (70 percent) live in France, Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands; …British Jews — at 84 percent — expressed the highest level of concern about anti-Semitism in political life today. Together with Germany and Sweden, the United Kingdom has also seen the highest increase in the number of Jews considering emigrating over the past five years due to safety concerns. [In none of these countries does the far right dominate.]…
In Poland and Hungary, [by contrast], fewer than half of their Jewish populations are worried. …In Hungary, where Viktor Orban’s right-wing government is suspected of racism, the number of Hungarian Jews saying anti-Semitism is a problem has significantly dropped.
