Valerie Plame, a former CIA officer, retweeted an incredibly anti-semetic article on Rosh Hashanah. The retweeted article by Phillip Giraldi itself contains the usual anti-Semitic tropes: Jews are guilty of dual loyalty; they control politicians, the media and entertainment; they want the U.S. to fight wars for the country to which they have real allegiance – Israel; they are dangerous to America.
It states: “The media should be required to label Jews at the bottom of the television screen whenever they pop up …. That would be kind-of-like a warning label on a bottle of rat poison – translating roughly as ingest even the tiniest little dosage of the nonsense at your own peril."
~ At this point, things like this don't even surprise me anymore. There is no way this is a coincidence. Why would Plame be reading these articles on a Jewish High Holy Day- and why would you retweet? Plame claims to have only skimmed through, not noticing the bigoted undertones. Frankly, that's total BS- the first paragraph itself is enough to sense the hate. Even if she didn't read the article thoroughly, this is not that first time she's done something like this. In 2014, Plame retweeted another article by the same author, captioning it "Yes, very proactive, but thoughtful. Many neocon hawks ARE Jewish. Ugh." Shall I go on?
In summary, this whole fiasco could have been avoided if Valerie Plane had some common sense. Alas, here we are.
