You have a group which wields enormous wealth and power that cannot be publicly criticized or scrutinized. They have very little accountability, which some of them have abused. It's members of this group that are responsible for a lot of the censorship and deplatforming that drove people here to begin with. The fact you are in denial about this or ignorant about it says more about you than most of the people criticizing them.

Some of the criticism is obviously over the top and trollish, but powerful people telling others they arent allowed to do something is inevitably going to result in a backlash, especially among younger people and contrarians who like to rebel against authority, hence the meme culture thats sprouted up in the west.

My own view is that its just a relatively small but powerful group of Jews that are driving this resentment, but because no one can criticize them and they hide behind being Jewish and aggressively use their lobbying power to target any critics, people gradually start to blame all Jews. Ordinary Jews getting defensive and circling the wagons just makes the problem worse. You cant censor and deplatform your way out of this problem since many of the complaints have merit, even if its unfair to blame all Jews.

Ironically the ADL probably does way more to drive antisemitism than combat it.

Agreed, Jews are propagandized by Zionists, Jew or not, more than any other person.
