RFK Jr., who recently came under fire for airing an insane and easily disproven conspiracy theory that Covid-19 spared Ashkenazi Jews, has been named “Antisemite of the Week” by StopAntisemitism.org. The following is the organization’s profile of RFK and his ignominious “honor”: Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) is a Democratic Presidential candidate for the 2024 election and the third son of former U.S. Attorney General & Senator Robert F. Kennedy. RFK Jr. has veered sharply away from his father’s legacy of unwavering support for the Jewish people and their homeland, choosing instead to embrace the bitter taste of antisemitism in his rhetoric and actions. Upon entering the 2024 presidential election, RFK Jr. appeared to be participating in an ‘apology tour’ for these actions. Unfortunately, the damage – of vile Jew-hatred through the guise of age-old conspiracies – has been done. In 2015, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. visited Louis Farrakhan and hailed him a “truly great partner” for his involvement in pushing vaccine theories targeting African Americans. In 2019, Farrakhan was named StopAntisemitism’s ‘Antisemite of the Week’ for his atrocious antisemitic rhetoric of calling Jews “termites,” blaming them for the slave trade, making false references to “Jewish power,” and claiming the modern Jewish people are “fake Jews.” Kennedy later continued to collaborate with the Nation of Islam on vaccine issues and claimed he was not aware of Farrakhan’s history of antisemitism at the time. However, his private diary revealed contradictory statements, expressing concerns about Farrakhan’s antisemitic views as he describes his disillusionment with civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, writing: “His [Jackson’s] love affair with Louis Farrakhan and his Jewish xenophobia are also unforgivable.” Kennedy claimed to have cut ties with the Nation of Islam after learning of Farrakhan’s comments about Jews, but in 2021 Kennedy hosted Tony Muhammad, a Nation of Islam official, to discuss an unfounded claim that scientists were conducting harmful experiments on black Americans through vaccinations. RFK Jr. also defended Roger Waters who was crowned StopAntisemitism’s ‘Antisemite of the Week’ last month for his continued antisemitism online and throughout his concerts. After Jewish organizations condemned Waters’ actions and speech on Jewish “power” and “control,” RFK Jr. tweeted: “Roger You are the global hero Orwell had in mind when he said “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act” The high priests of the totalitarian orthodoxies are trying to silence you with censorship, gaslighting and defamation. Please keep speaking truth to power!” Kennedy quickly deleted the tweet and attempted to claim his words were in reference to the COVID-19 vaccine. On July 15, 2023, video surfaced of Kennedy discussing a disproven claim between COVID-19 and the Jewish people. In the footage Kennedy states, “COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.” Jewish organizations, the Democratic party, and even members of the Kennedy family were quick to dismiss RFK Jr’s., words as antisemitic. For centuries, Jews have been at the center of conspiracy theories related to pandemics, wars, slavery, and economic status. The notion that Jews bear the blame for diseases or are somehow immune to their effects harkens back to the medieval period. As with the anti-Jewish conspiracies of the past, there is zero evidence to support RFK Jr.’s claims about […]
