Perspective: The San Diego shooter’s manifesto is a modern form of an old lie about Jews

People participate in a vigil and prayer service in Poway, Calif., for victims of a shooting at the Chabad of Poway synagogue on Saturday. By Talia Lavin Talia Lavin is a writer and researcher based in Brooklyn. April 29 at 9:17 AM On Easter Sunday, 1475, the body of a 2-year-old Christian boy named Simon Unferdorben was discovered near a Jewish home in the northern Italian city of Trent, then a province of the Holy Roman Empire. Immediately, authorities arrested every Jew living in the city.

If, in the 1400s, anti-Semitic myths were transmitted by means of beatific poetry, legends of martyrs and claims of miraculous healing by pilgrims, today such lies are transmitted far more easily. “You are not forgotten Simon of Trent, the horror that you and countless children have endured at the hands of the Jews will never be forgiven,” he wrote in a manifesto uploaded to the text repository Pastebin and posted on the anonymous message board 8chan. The dissemination of the manifesto was instantaneous, reaching thousands of readers on the message board and around the world. But the hatred at its core could have been plucked directly from the 15th century.

Like the manifesto of Brenton Tarrant, whom authorities have charged with slaughtering Muslims at prayer in Christchurch, New Zealand, last month, Earnest’s is larded with jokey references to message-board culture, memes and YouTube stars. In the 8chan post with the link to his manifesto, he said he planned to soundtrack his atrocities with a number of “memeable” songs, including the Pokémon theme song.

But oh my god, how dare we say that Jews are racists 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

FYI, there are a lot of racist Jews as well

Davidlaz Terrifying

The San Diego shooter’s manifesto sounds a lot like today’s Democrat politicians, particularly Ilhan Omar, Talib, AOC, et al; spewing anti-semitism and Trump-hate. None of them should have the power to affect the lives of real Americans.

But 👇 nytimes tells us that 👇 👇

Can we stop giving these emo written letters /blogpostings/random scribblings cool sounding names like 'manifesto'? Just call it what it is - madman rambling.

These types of lies were used here against Catholics Sadly, some who hold nativist views today are Catholic-obviously ignorant of history All Jews, Muslims, Christians, people of all faiths, and those with none, must stand together against this vile hatred

ImpeachDonaldTrump

Democrats, the party on Louis Farrakhan, share the same ideology..

Funny how that same lie is spoken by so many different peoples, countries in all different eras. 🤔

How does a 19 yr old boy from California get this lost. Can someone please shut these dark internet sites down. Google “Don’t be Evil”.

GOD..................Ironically...........No-one is ready to accept that their GOD controls only their followers....not the whole World. Why this Contradiction Please tell me GOD ?

GOD. ...You have never created any Country, Religion or Race....but at one of your planet. ..People are fighting /Killing each other to show their Superiority.

GOD........... appears as ALLAH to Muslims...........GOD to Christian...........SHIV to Hindu.................HaShem to Jews....Brothers & Sisters.

IlhanMN and the justicedems is fully responsible for influencing the shooter

8chan? It's being spread by the New York Times!

Don't even mention these pricks. The more you speak about them the more satisfied they are

The San Diego shooter hated Trump because he was Zionist. ChabadofPoway Poway GunControl

San Diego is beefing up security at places of worshipSan Diego Sheriff Bill Gore said police would be providing extra patrols at places of worship through the weekend and encouraged people to report any suspicious activity Chicago murder rates are much higher and cnn's typical selective journalism for this, because why? because they associate it with Trump. Isn't that the definition of fake news by pushing an agenda? Yet people blame NRA. This happened in a gun control area okay. We cant confiscate guns from law abiding citizens when countries like China fuel our black market. Other countries would have to end production for gun control to work here. That's flat out a fact.
