Although the article you posted does not state as such, stating Anti-Vaxxers are Anti-Semites is an Association fallacy

both are based on misinformation transmitted via the Internet and social media, which then becomes widely believed. Both also employ scapegoating.

There is plenty of information available to question vaccines, from autism to child deaths in Africa.

The Anti-semite rhetoric is simply a victim card for Israel while it holds Palestinians in an open air prison and slaughters them at will as it did in 2014 where Israel killed over 2,250 Palestinians, 500 of whom were children, and 11,000 were wounded, and nobody at the time batted an eyelash about it:

When the President of the United States says there were “good people” among white supremacists who chanted “Jews will not replace us” — a slogan based on another lie — during their infamous 2017 Charlottesville demonstration/riot, is it reasonable to expect no one will act on it?

Another association fallacy is trying to paint Trump as a racist because he stated there were good people at the Charlottesville rally. The rally was planned in advance and permits or permission were issued by the municipality for the group to rally around the preservation of a statue, so the city and the cops certainly knew about the rally. To shut down the rally early and then direct the rally participants right through antifa was a logistical mistake at best, at worst it was specifically timed to incite the two groups against each other.

Regardless, Charlottesville has been used ever since as some sort of evidence that there are great racial tensions in America. Will the people who walk around like lemmings head down in their phones ever look around to notice that you do not see racial groups who live in the same cities going at each other and discriminating against each other? What is happening is a controlled narrative driven by the corporate media to incite people against each other.

The falsehood is the notion that speaking against the Israeli government and opposing what they have done in Palestine is somehow racist.

Don't you see, it's racist to criticize the most racist people on Earth.

/u/Jesus do you actually agree with this post, or are you posting for another reason?

Don't agree with it at all. I was only posting to show others how far some people will go to use association fallacies to try to discredit their opposition.

I agree with everything in your post. I posted this elsewhere in quotation marks but when I copied the title I accidentally left out the marks when posting here.
